Saving Configuration Changes 

Saving configuration changes is a two-step process.  After making the
changes in any of the configurators, you must hold those changes before
exiting the configurator to continue your work.

Use the HOLD command to temporarily hold the changes made in a
configurator.  At any one of the four configurator prompts and after you
have made the changes, enter

     sysgen>HOLD 

Then exit the configurator but stay in SYSGEN. To save your file changes,
enter

     sysgen>KEEP 

The KEEP command (abbreviated KE or K) saves (stores to a disk file)
changes held from any of the SYSGEN configurators.

KEEP has the syntax:

     KEEP     [ [NAME=]groupname ]

Groupname must be eight characters or fewer and must begin with an
alphabetic character.

If you do not specify a basegroup with the KEEP command, SYSGEN uses the
current working basegroup to save the configuration changes.

The KEEP command can be used to save configuration changes to a group
other than the current working group.  In addition, if the desired group
does not already exist, the KEEP command creates it and then saves the
configuration changes to it.

To keep changes to a group other than the current working configuration
group, enter the KEEP command and a new group name:

     sysgen>KEEP newgroupname 

If changes are being saved to a group that has existing configuration
files, SYSGEN asks if that group should be overwritten:

     sysgen>KEEP oldgroupname 

     purge old configuration (yes/no) ?NO 

     ** configuration files not saved **

Answering NO cancels the command.
