File Conversion Guidelines
A file conversion utility called NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS allows you to convert earlier versions of subsystems for use with the current version of Node Management Services (NMS) by converting the files to an acceptable format.
When to Convert Files
If you have not successfully converted your files you will be notified that conversion is necessary when you try either to run NMMGR or to perform a NETCONTROL command. If you attempt to run NMMGR against an unconverted configuration file you will receive the message:
Version mismatch found on specified subsystem. Please run NMMGRVER. (NMGRERR 53)
If you attempt to perform NETCONTROL while using unconverted files you will receive the following message at the console:
Bad CONFIG File Version
In either case you should stop your current activity and run the NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS file conversion utility on your configuration files.
The conversion procedure that follows will not preserve any previously configured Distributed Terminal Subsystem (DTS) configuration values. If you are updating from an earlier version of MPE/iX at the same time you are migrating from NS 3000/V to NS 3000/iX, you should see the information under “Updating From a Previous MPE/iX Version” later in this Appendix before converting your configuration files.
Converting Files
Follow these steps to convert configuration files using NMMGRVER:
Step 1. Make a backup copy of the existing configuration files.
Step 2. Install a copy of the MPE/V NMCONFIG file to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS on the MPE/iX system, and then install copies of any NSCONF files.
Step 3. Execute NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS by entering:
RUN NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS
The system responds with the following banner:
