Example 3-1. SYSGEN First Level Commands
The Difference Between SYSGEN and :SYSGEN
SYSGEN is the name of the MPE XL system configuration utility. :SYSGEN
is the MPE XL command you use to run the SYSGEN utility. A possible
source of confusion between the two is the use by each of the term
"basegroup."
basegroup is a parameter that is used with the MPE XL command :SYSGEN, to
specify the configuration on which the SYSGEN utility is to act.
BASEGROUP is a SYSGEN Utility command. It does, within SYSGEN, what
basegroup does when used with :SYSGEN. A configuration group specified by
BASEGROUP will replace the one specified by basegroup.
For example if, at the MPE XL prompt (:), you enter:
SYSGEN NUFIG
the system will load the SYSGEN utility and act on the configuration
group NUFIG.SYS.
Then if, at the prompt SYSGEN>, you enter:
SYSGEN>BASEGROUP OLDFIG
the system will act on the group OLDFIG.SYS instead.
