Using the SYSFILE Configurator
Use the SYSFILE configurator to display current information about system
libraries, system programs, and the system message catalog and to make
changes to the file system information.
To access the SYSFILE configurator
You make all changes to system files from within the SYSFILE
configurator, which is one of the SYSGEN modules. To access the SYSFILE
configurator, do the following:
1. At the MPE prompt, enter:
SYSGEN
2. At the SYSGEN prompt (sysgen>), enter:
sysgen>SY
When you first enter the SYSFILE configurator, you will see a list of the
commands available to you. To issue a command, either enter the full
command name or the abbreviation shown in parentheses.

Example 4-1. Activating the SYSFILE Configurator
You use most of the SYSFILE configurator commands to add, delete,
replace, list, or specify eight system file objects. Table 5-1
summarizes these actions. It lists the objects from top to bottom and
shows the corresponding actions from left to right.

To add objects to the SLT
Use the add commands (AAUTO, ABOOT, ACMSL, and ASPROG) to add objects to
the list of files dumped onto the system load tape (SLT). The commands
are summarized below and explained in the remainder of this section.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| AAUTO | Adds an autoboot file to the list of files. |

| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To add autoboot files.
Use the AAUTO command (abbreviated AA) to add an autoboot file to the
list of files dumped onto the system load tape. Your system can have
only one disk autoboot file (known as AUTOBOOT.MPEXL.SYS) and one tape
autoboot file (known as TAPEAUTO.MPEXL.SYS). However, neither is
required.
The syntax of the AAUTO command is:
[ {DISC}]
AAUTO (AA) {[FILE =] autobootfilename} [[TYPE =] {TAPE}]
[ {BOTH}]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| FILE | The file that contains autoboot commands. If you do not enter the |
| | group and account name, it defaults to the current group and |
| | account. (If you then run SYSGEN from a different group and |
| | account to create the system load tape, SYSGEN will not be able to |
| | find the files.) |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| TYPE | The type of boot image to add, which can be any of the following: |
| | |
| | |
| | DISC The file can only be used in a disk boot. |
| | TAPE The file can only be used in a tape boot. |
| | BOTH The file can be used in both a disk boot and a tape boot. |
| | |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, to add the autoboot file IOMAP2.UTIL.SYS, which is both a
disk and tape file, enter:
sysfile>AAUTO FILE=IOMAP2.UTIL.SYS TYPE=BOTH
To add boot files.
Use the ABOOT command (abbreviated AB) to add a boot image to the system
file configuration. The syntax of the command is:
ABOOT (AB) {[IMAGE =] bootimagename} {[FILE =] filename}
{ {DISC}}

| IMAGE | The name of a boot image. If the specified boot image already |
| | exists, an error occurs. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| FILE | The name of the boot image file. If you do not enter the group |
| | and account name, it defaults to the current group and account. |
| | (If you then run SYSGEN from a different group and account to |
| | create the system load tape, SYSGEN will not be able to find the |
| | files.) |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| TYPE | The type of boot image to add, which can be any of the following: |
| | |
| | |
| | DISC The file can only be used in a disk boot. |
| | TAPE The file can only be used in a tape boot. |

For example, to add file information for the boot image ISL.MPEXL.SYS,
enter:
sysfile>ABOOT IMAGE=ISL.MPEXL.SYS FILE=ISL.MPEXL.SYS&
TYPE=DISC
To add a segment to the CMSL.
Use the ACMSL command (abbreviated AC) to add a segment to the
compatibility mode segmented library (CMSL). The syntax of the command
is:
[ {P}]
ACMSL (AC) {[SEG =] segmentname} {[FILE =] filename} [[MODE =] {S}]
[ {C}]
[ {U}]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| SEG | The name of a new segment, which can be a maximum of eight |
| | characters. If you enter an existing segment name, you will get |
| | an error. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| FILE | The name of the file you want added to the CMSL. If you do not |
| | enter the group and account name, it defaults the current group |
| | and account. (If you then run SYSGEN from a different group and |
| | account to create the system load tape, SYSGEN will not be able to |
| | find the files.) |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| MODE | Where the added SL segment is to reside, which must be one of the |
| | following four options: |
| | |
| | P A permanently allocated user segment. This parameter |
| | performs the same function as the ALLOCATE command. |
| | S A permanently allocated system intrinsic segment in |
| | virtual memory. |
| | C A core-resident system intrinsic segment. |
| | U A regular user segment. This is the default. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, to add the new segment name SDCUTIL1 to the CMSL as a
regular user segment, enter:
sysfile>ACMSL SEG=SDCUTIL1 FILE=USLNEW.PUB.SYS MODE=U
To add file names to save to tape.
Use the ASPROG command (abbreviated AS) to add a system program or other
file to the list of files to be saved on tape. The syntax of the command
is:
ASPROG (AS) {[PROG =] program name} {[FILE =] filename}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| PROG | The name of a new system program. If program name you enter |
| | already exists in the system program list, you will get an error. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| FILE | The name of the file to be used as the system program. If you do |
| | not enter the group and account name, it defaults the current |
| | group and account. (If you then run SYSGEN from a different group |
| | and account to create the system load tape, SYSGEN will not be |
| | able to find the files.) |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, to add FCOPY.PUB.SYS to the system load tape, using the same
name, enter:
sysfile>ASPROG PROG=FCOPY.PUB.SYS FILE=FCOPY.PUB.SYS
To delete objects from the SLT
Use the delete commands (DAUTO, DBOOT, DCMSL, and DSPROG) to delete
objects from the list of files dumped to the system load tape. The
commands are summarized below and explained in the remainder of this
section.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| DCMSL | Deletes segments from the CMSL. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| DSPROG | Removes system programs or files from the list of files. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To delete autoboot images.
Use the DAUTO command (abbreviated DA) to delete the specified autoboot
type from the list of files dumped onto the system load tape. The syntax
of the command is:
{ {DISC}}
DAUTO {[TYPE =] {TAPE}}
{ {BOTH}}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| TYPE | The type of boot image to delete, which must be one of the |
| | following: |
| | |
| | DISC The file can only be used in a disk boot. |
| | TAPE The file can only be used in a tape boot. |
| | BOTH The file can be used in both a disk boot and a tape boot. |
| | |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, to delete type TAPE, enter:
sysfile>DAUTO TYPE=TAPE
To delete boot images.
Use the DBOOT command (abbreviated DB) to delete a boot image file name.
The syntax of the command is:
DBOOT (DB) {[IMAGE =] [bootimagename][,...]}
IMAGE is a repeated parameter that you use to specify one or more boot
images to delete. If you enter a boot image name that does not exist,
you will get a warning. (To display a list of valid boot image file
names, use the SHOW command.)
For example, to remove the image file SAT.MPEXL.SYS, enter:
sysfile>DBOOT IMAGE=SAT.MPEXL.SYS
To delete compatibility mode segments.
Use the DCMSL command (abbreviated DC) to delete segments from the
compatibility mode segmented library (CMSL). The syntax of the command
is:
DCMSL (DC) {[SEG =] [segmentname][,...]}
SEG is a repeated parameter that you use to specify one or more segments
currently in the CMSL. If you enter the name of a segment that doesn't
exist, you will get an error. (To list the contents of the CMSL, use the
LCMSL command.)
For example, to delete the segments SDCUTIL5 and SDCUTIL6 from the system
load tape, enter:
sysfile>DCMSL SEG=SDCUTIL5,SDCUTIL6
To delete system programs.
Use the DSPROG command (abbreviated DS) to delete system programs or
files from the system configuration. The syntax of the command is:
DSPROG has the following parameter:
DSPROG (DS) {[PROG =] [programname] [,...]}
PROG is a repeated parameter that you use to specify one or more the
system programs to delete. If you enter a program name that doesn't
exist, you will get an error. (To see what program names are currently
in use, use the SHOW SPROG command.)
For example to remove FCOPY.PUB.SYS from the system configuration, enter:
sysfile>DSPROG PROG=FCOPY.PUB.SYS
To replace objects on the SLT
Use the replace commands (RAUTO, RBOOT, RCAT, RCMSL, RDCC, RIPL, RNMLIB,

| RNMLIB | Replaces a native mode (NM) library. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| RSPROG | Replaces an existing system program or other file. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To replace autoboot images.
Use the RAUTO command (abbreviated RA) to replace an existing autoboot
image in the list of files dumped to the system load tape. The syntax of
the command is:
{ {DISC}}
RAUTO (RA) {[FILE =] autobootfilename} {[TYPE =] {TAPE}}
{ {BOTH}}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| FILE | The file to replace the designated autoboot image. If you do not |
| | enter the group and account name, it defaults the current group |
| | and account. (If you then run SYSGEN from a different group and |
| | account to create the system load tape, SYSGEN will not be able to |
| | find the files.) |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| TYPE | The boot image type, which must be one of the following: |
| | |
| | DISC The file can only be used in a disk boot. |
| | TAPE The file can only be used in a tape boot. |
| | BOTH The file can be used in both a disk boot and a tape boot. |
| | |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To display the autoboot image file names maintained by the system, use
the SHOW command. To replace a file, select one from the list. For
example, to replace the autoboot image file AIMAGE.MPEXL.SYS, enter:
sysfile>RAUTO FILE=AIMAGE.MPEXL.SYS TYPE=TAPE
To replace boot images.
Use the RBOOT command (abbreviated RB) to modify the boot type of an
existing boot image file name or to replace the boot image file name with
another boot image file name. The syntax of the command is:
RBOOT (RB) {[IMAGE =] bootimagename} {[FILE =] filename}
{ {DISC}}
{[TYPE =] {TAPE}}
{ {BOTH}}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| IMAGE | The name of the existing boot image that you want to modify or |
| | replace. If you enter a file name that does not exist, you will |
| | get an error. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| FILE | The name of the file that replaces the designated boot image. If |
| | you do not enter the group and account name, it defaults the |
| | current group and account. (If you then run SYSGEN from a |
| | different group and account to create the system load tape, SYSGEN |
| | will not be able to find the files.) |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| TYPE | The boot image type, which must be one of the following: |
| | |
| | DISC The file can only be used in a disk boot. |
| | TAPE The file can only be used in a tape boot. |
| | BOTH The file can be used in both a disk boot and a tape boot. |
| | |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To display the boot image file names maintained by the system, use the
SHOW command. To replace a file, select it from the list. For example,
to modify the file START.MPEXL.SYS, enter:
sysfile>RBOOT FILE=START.MPEXL.SYS&
FILE=START.MPEXL.SYS TYPE=DISC
To configure a message catalog.
The system message catalog contains all the system and subsystem messages
and is kept in a file named CATALOG.PUB.SYS. Use the RCAT command
(abbreviated RC) to specify which message catalog you want used on the
system. The syntax of the command is:
RCAT (RC) {[NAME =] filename}
If you do not enter the group and account name as part of the filename
parameter, it defaults the current group and account. (If you then run
SYSGEN from a different group and account to create the system load tape,
SYSGEN will not be able to find the files.) If you specify a message
catalog file that has not been created, you will get an error.
For example, to replace the default catalog name CATALOG.PUB.SYS with the
new catalog STARCAT.PUB.SYS, enter:
sysfile>RCAT NAME=STARCAT.PUB.SYS
NOTE With the introduction of MPE/iX release 4.5, all error message text
is now mixed case, rather than in all uppercase characters as in
the past. The changes affect set 2 of CATALOG.PUB.SYS, (lines
numbered 2100 to 13006.01). The content of logfiles and console
messages are not affected by this change.
In the unlikely event that the mixed-case error messages create a
problem for one of your applications, you can edit CATALOG.PUB.SYS
to upshift the message text in set 2 and install the edited version
of the message catalog.
For information on how to modify an existing message catalog, refer
to Message Catalogs Programmer's Guide (32650-90021).
To replace a CMSL segment.
Use the RCMSL command (abbreviated RCM) to replace a segment in the CMSL.
The syntax of the command is:
[ {P}]
RCMSL (RCM) {[SEG =] segmentname} {[FILE =] filename} [MODE = {S}]
[ {C}]
[ {U}]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| SEG | The name of a new segment, which can be a maximum eight |
| | characters. If you specify a segment that does not exist, you |
| | will get an error. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| FILE | The name of the file you want to add to the CMSL. If you do not |
| | enter the group and account name, it defaults the current group |
| | and account. (If you then run SYSGEN from a different group and |
| | account to create the system load tape, SYSGEN will not be able to |
| | find the files.) |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| MODE | Where the added SL segment is to reside, which must be one of the |
| | four options listed below: |
| | |
| | P A permanently allocated user segment. This parameter |
| | requests the same function as the ALLOCATE command. |
| | S A permanently allocated system intrinsic segment (in |
| | virtual memory). |
| | C A core-resident system intrinsic segment. |
| | U A regular user segment. This is the default. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To display the segments maintained in the CMSL, use the LCMSL command.
To replace a segment, select one from the list. For example, to replace
the regular user segment SDCUTIL1, enter:
sysfile>RCMSL SEG=SDCUTIL5 FILE=USLNEW.PUB.SYS MODE=P
To replace or define a network configuration file.
Use the RDCC command (abbreviated RD) to specify a new or replacement
network configuration file and to check for conflicts between the network
configuration and SYSGEN's I/O configuration.
The syntax of the RDCC command is:
RDCC (RD) {[FILE =] filename}
If you do not enter a fully qualified file name, it defaults to the
current group and account. If you do not enter the FILE parameter,
SYSGEN uses the default network configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
To add the network configuration file information to the current SYSGEN
configuration and cross validate, do the following:
1. Specify the network configuration file by entering:
sysfile>
RDCC FILE=filename
2. Cross validate the file by entering the following sequence of
commands:
sysfile>HOLD
sysfile>EXIT
sysgen>IO
:
sysgen>KEEP NETWORK
3. Create a system load tape and use it to update the system with the
new network configuration.
NOTE For more information on remote configurations, refer to the
NS3000/XL Network Manager's Reference Manual (36920-90002) and to
Chapter 2 .
To replace an IPL image.
Use the RIPL command (abbreviated RI) to replace an existing IPL image in
the list of files dumped onto the system load tape. There can be only
one disk and one tape IPL, each of which is replaced by its image name.
Both IPL files must reside on the tape. The syntax of the command is:
RIPL (RI) {[IMAGE =] imagename} {[FILE =] filename}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| IMAGE | The existing IPL image that you want to modify or replace. If you |
| | specify an image that does not exist, you will get an error. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| FILE | The file that replaces the specified IPL image. If you do not |
| | enter the group and account name, it defaults the current group |
| | and account. (If you then run SYSGEN from a different group and |
| | account to create the system load tape, SYSGEN will not be able to |
| | find the files.) |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, to replace the image ISL2.MPEXL.SYS, enter:
sysfile>RIPL IMAGE=ISL2.MPEXL.SYS FILE=IPL2.MPEXL.SYS
To replace the native mode library.
Use the RNMLIB command (abbreviated RN) to replace the system native mode
library in NL.PUB.SYS. The syntax of the RNMLIB command is:
RNMLIB (RN) {[FILE =] filename}
If you do not enter the group and account name as part of the filename
parameter, it defaults the current group and account. (If you then run
SYSGEN from a different group and account to create the system load tape,
SYSGEN will not be able to find the files.)
For example, to replace NL.PUB.SYS with MYNL.PUB.SYS, enter:
sysfile>RNMLIB FILE=mynl.PUB.SYS
To replace a system program.
Use the RSPROG command (abbreviated RS) to replace an existing system
program. The syntax of the command is:
RSPROG (RS) {[PROG =] programname} {[FILE =] filename}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Parameter | Definition |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| PROG | The name of an existing system program. If you specify a file |
| | that does not exist, you will get an error. |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| FILE | The name of the file replacing the specified system program. If |
| | you do not enter the group and account name, it defaults the |
| | current group and account. (If you then run SYSGEN from a |
| | different group and account to create the system load tape, SYSGEN |
| | will not be able to find the files.) |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, to replace the file JOB in the PUB group of the SYS account
with a program of the same name, enter:
sysfile>RSPROG PROG=JOB.PUB.SYS FILE=JOB.PUB.SYS
To use a segmented library file as CMSL
Use the CMSL command (abbreviated CM) to specify the segmented library
file you want used as the compatibility mode segmented library (CMSL).
The syntax of the CMSL command is:
CMSL (CM) {[SL =] slname}
If you do not enter the group and account name as part of the slname
parameter, it defaults to the current group and account. (If you then
run SYSGEN from a different group and account to create the system load
tape, SYSGEN will not be able to find the file.) If you do not specify a
segmented library, SYSGEN uses the default SL.PUB.SYS.
For example, To change the default SL.PUB.SYS to NEWSL.PUB.SYS, enter:
sysfile>CMSL SL=NEWSL.PUB.SYS
To list CMSL contents.
Use the LCMSL command (abbreviated LCMSL) to list the contents of the
compatability mode segemented library (CMSL) or a single segment in the
CMSL. The syntax of the LCMSL command is:
LCMSL (LC) {[SEG =] segmentname}
The segmentname parameter specifies the name of the segment you want to
review. If you don't specify a segment, SYSGEN lists the entire contents
of the CMSL.
For example, to list the contents of the segment IPCSEG, enter:
sysfile>LCMSL SEG=IPCSEG
NOTE When you issue the LCMSL command, the system may appear to be down
or programs will stop processing because the command locks
whichever SL it is listing. If the CMSL is SL.PUB.SYS and you have
made no changes to it (which force a temporary SL to be created),
any program that uses the SL stops.
