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. Holding changes allows you to move among configurators or
between a configurator and the global module without losing changes.
Refer to the sections on the IO, LOG, MISC, or SYSFILE configurators for
information on using HOLD within each configurator.
The KEEP command (abbreviated KE or K) saves (stores to disk files)
changes held from any of the SYSGEN configurators.
KEEP has the syntax:
KEEP [ [NAME=]groupname ]
Groupname may be eight characters or fewer and must begin with an
alphabetic character.
SYSGEN keeps track of the current configuration group, whether it is the
default group with which you booted the system, a group specified by the
basegroup parameter on the initial SYSGEN command line, or a group
switched to by the BASEGROUP global configurator command. If you do not
specify a basegroup with the KEEP command and did not specify a group
with the newgroup parameter on the initial SYSGEN command line, SYSGEN
uses the current working base group (either the default or the one set by
a method listed above) 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. All groups are saved in the SYS account.
To keep changes to a group other than the current working configuration
group, enter the KEEP command and a new group name:
sysgen>KEEP NEWCONFG (Sample name only)
If changes are being saved to a group that has existing configuration
files, SYSGEN asks if that group should be overwritten:
sysgen>KEEP FEUDAL
purge old configuration (yes/no) ?NO
** configuration files not saved **
Answering NO cancels the command.
If insufficient space exists on the main system disk to accommodate the
creation of a new configuration group, SYSGEN issues a message indicating
this. SYSGEN then terminates, losing the temporary files and the
changes.
