Converting Your FASTCNFG Files to a FASTKCON File
This subsection describes how to convert a single FASTCNFG file to a FASTKCON
file, and how to convert multiple FASTCNFG files into a single FASTKCON file. Unlike
FASTCNFG files, which can require the creation of multiple FASTCNFG files to avoid
long sequential searches, you only need to create a single FASTKCON file regardless
of the number of devices in your Spooler environment. Although multiple FASTCNFG
files can continue to be used (both for continued compatibility with older versions of
FASTPTCP and for administrative convenience) by using FASTKCUT, any number of
FASTCNFG files can be easily and quickly merged into a single FASTKCON file.
Note that whenever a FASTCNFG file is converted to a FASTKCON file, FASTKCUT
only processes DEVICE, HOSTS, DEFAULT, and POLLTYPE commands in the
FASTCNFG file. Any other FASTCNFG commands, such as SPOOLER, FASTCNFG,
PROCESS, and MACRO are ignored. Like the FASTCNFG file, FASTKCUT uses an
exclamation mark (!) to denote comments.
When a single FASTCNFG file is to be converted, only the CREATE command is used
as follows:
FASTKCUT CREATE
cnfg-file
,
kcon-file
where
cnfg-file
specifies the name of the FASTCNFG file to be converted.
kcon-file
specifies the name of the FASTKCON file to be created.
For example, either of the following examples would generate the equivalent result:
FASTKCUT CREATE $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.FASTCNFG,$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.FASTKCON
or
FASTKCUT CREATE *,*
When multiple FASTCNFG files are to be converted into a single FASTKCON file, such
as when level-2 or level-3 FASTCNFG files are used, you use a combination of the
Note.
If a FASTKCON file other than the default $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.FASTKCON is to be
used, then the following DEFINE is required at Spooler startup time, and is in effect for all
FASTPTCP print processes running under the Spooler:
TACL> SET DEFMODE ON
TACL> ADD DEFINE=FASTKCON, FILE $
vol
.
subvol
.
filename
TACL> OBEY SPLCOLD
