Backing Up Shift Configurations

COPY SHIFT CONFIGURATIONS

If you routinely make a backup copy of your shift configurations, you will have a current version to use if you need to restore your system after a problem.

You should also copy the system tables at the same time you copy the shift configurations. The system tables contain the agent directory and line assignments CMS needs to interpret the shift configurations.

NOTE: If you plan to archive your historical data, you should copy the system tables each time you make a change in your shift configurations. That way you will have the correct system tables to

interpret each day’s historical data. Both the shift configurations and system tables will fit on one floppy diskette.

To make a backup copy of your shift configurations and system tables, follow these steps:

1 Insert the diskette labeled “CMS Duplicate Copy” into disk drive A. Instructions for making a duplicate copy are found in Section 3, “Your 6300 WGS and CMS.”

2 At the C> prompt, type the following commands to change to the cmsmgmt directory (a directory within the CMS program) on the hard disk. Press [ ] after each command. (If you just exited to MS-DOS from the CMS program, you will be in the cms directory. Skip the first command below.)

C> cd cms

C> cd cmsmgmt

3 To get into the cmsmgmt directory on the floppy diskette, type the following commands, Press [ ] After each command.

C> a:

A> cd ems

A> cd cmsmgmt

4 To copy

all your shift configurations

from the hard

disk onto the floppy

 

diskette, type

5 To copy

the system tables onto the

floppy diskette,

type

 

 

copy c:systbls. cms a:

 

 

6

Remove the duplicate copy when the red light on disk drive A goes out.

7

Write the current date on a label and attach it to the duplicate.

8 To return to the cms directory on disk drive C, type these commands:

A> c:

C> cd. .
