Configuration File Validation

Validating the configuration file ensures that the configuration data is logically and syntactically correct. Each SNA service's data is also checked against the SNA node configuration data for correctness (for example, correct LU names). See Appendix A “Result Codes and Messages” of this manual for SNA NRJE validation error messages.

You should validate the configuration file after completing any of these tasks:

An initial configuration of one or more SNA nodes.
An initial configuration of one or more SNA services.
A modification of an existing configuration.

The configuration file is validated through NMMGR; see Using the Node Management Services Utilities.

Configuration File Critical Summary

NMMGR allows you to create a summary of critical NRJE configuration data. The critical summary is a printout of the NRJE data in the configuration file. It can be used to check current contents of the configuration file to determine whether the configuration is correct. The critical summary is generated through NMMGR; see Using the Node Management Services Utilities.

An example of a critical summary of SNA NRJE configuration data is shown here.
