You need to convert files if you open an existing configuration file while using NMMGR and receive this message: 

 Version mismatch found on specified subsystem. Please run NMMGRVER. (NMGRERR 53)
You also need to convert files if you are performing NETCONTROL and receive the following class 2 logging message at the console: 

  Bad CONFIG File Version
NMMGRVER will create backup copies of your configuration files for you, and will name them NMBACKA, NMBACKB, NMBACKC, and so on. Therefore, you can go back to a source file if necessary.

Converting MPE XL to MPE/iX

  1. Execute NMMGRVER by entering:

    :RUN NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS

    After displaying a banner, the system prompts you for the name of the configuration file to be converted. 

    
  Fileset to be scanned?

  2. Enter one of the following filesets, or press the [RETURN] key to end the conversion program. 

    
  filename[.groupname[.acctname]]
  file prefix@[.groupname[.acctname]]
  @[.groupname[.acctname]]
  @@.@[.acctname]
  @@.@.@
    NOTE: When converting from an earlier release of MPE XL to the current version of MPE/iX, the configuration file can have any valid MPE file name. If you have used another name instead of NMCONFIG, NMMGRVER will use that name as the final name for your conversion file. For example, if your configuration file is called MYCONFIG, NMMGRVER will convert it and save it under the same name, overwriting the original MYCONFIG. When the conversion is finished, you must rename or purge the existing NMCONFIG and then rename MYCONFIG to NMCONFIG, replacing the old NMCONFIG.

  3. NMMGRVER searches for files of type NCONF in the specified fileset. For each file found, it asks:

    OK to convert filename.groupname.acctname?

    where filename.groupname.acctname is the name of a configuration file. Enter Y for yes or either N or [RETURN] for no.

  4. NMMGRVER checks the configuration file to determine if it is an MPE/iX configuration file, then the conversion proceeds without further user input.

    After each file is converted NMMGRVER will display the following message:

    Conversion Completed Successfully (NMMGRVERMSG 0)

  5. Continue to enter either Y, N, or [RETURN] until you have converted all files.

  6. Run NMMGR and modify any of the configuration files, as needed.
