COPYCONF
Copies a configuration subtree.
Syntax
COPYCONF srcpath[:srcfile][,[destpath][:destfile]] [;KEEP][;NOVERS]
Parameters
srcpath The name of a configuration path in the source file
that describes the location of the subtree to copy
(source path). It is composed of one to eight path
identifiers separated by periods:
pathid.pathid.pathid...
srcfile The name of an NMMGR configuration file (NCONF
file) that contains the subtree to be copied
(source file). The format is:
filename[.groupname[.accountname]]
A file lockword may not be specified. A file
equation may be employed through explicit use of
the back-reference:
*DESIGNATOR
destpath The name of the path that describes where the
subtree is to be placed in the destination file
(destination path), in the same format as srcpath.
Select and type-select path identifiers may be
changed from the corresponding identifier in
srcpath as long as the new identifier is
type-compatible. If this parameter is not
specified, the destination path is assumed to be
the same as the path specified in srcpath.
destfile The name of an NMMGR configuration file that is to
receive the copied data (destination file). The
format is the same as srcfile. This file name may
be the same as that specified in srcfile, which
allows you to copy data from one location within a
file to another location in the same file. If this
parameter is not specified, the destination file is
assumed to be the same as the source file.
KEEP Designates that if the destpath already exists in
destfile, the operation will not be performed. The
default (when KEEP is not specified) is to replace
the destination subtree with the source path.
NOVERS Designates that no version check will be performed
on the source or destination paths. The default is
to perform version checks.
Description
COPYCONF allows data to be copied from one configuration file into
another file, or into the same file in a different location. Source and
destination paths are used to direct where a subtree is to come from and
where it is to be copied to. (You can also copy a configuration subtree
using the NMMGR Configuration Subtree Copy screen in screen mode.)
Example
To copy data from one file into another file using the same path (note
that although shown as two lines here, the command must be entered in one
line):
NMMGR>COPYCONF NETXPORT.NI.LAN1.INTERNET:FILEA,NETXPORT.NI.LAN1.INTERNET;FILEB
To copy data to a different path in the same file:
NMMGR>COPYCONF LINKCONF.LINK1:FILEA, LINKCONF.LINK2:FILEA
