Configuration Commands

You can configure NonStop AutoTMF software features using commands to set global
options and to specify file names and program names that use NonStop AutoTMF
software options. See

ALTER GLOBAL

on page 6-34,

ADD ATMFFILESET

on

page 6-6, and

ADD ATMFPROGRAMS

on page 6-12 for complete use and syntax

descriptions of these commands. The ADD commands have corresponding INFO,
ALTER and DELETE commands.

In unusual situations, you can also configure many of the same features by using
DEFINES; however, configuring DEFINES consistently in a production environment is
difficult and prone to error. See

Appendix B, Special DEFINEs

.

Configuring File Sets

When you configure ATMFFILESET and ATMFPROGRAMS, you specify file sets or
patterns, such as $DATA*.FIRM*.LOG*. Because a file name may be configured by
more than one pattern, an unambiguous search order of patterns has been defined.
When an audited file is opened or program is started, the name is compared to the
configured file sets. The first successful match concludes the search and determines
the NonStop AutoTMF configuration options.

For example, suppose the following two commands were used to configure
ATMFFILESET:

ADD ATMFFILESET $*.FIRM01.LOG* CREATEAUDIT;
ADD ATMFFILESET $DATA.*.LOGFILE SEPARATETX;

The search order causes the file name to be compared to $DATA.*.LOGFILE before
$*.FIRM01.LOG*. If the file $DATA.FIRM01.LOGFILE is opened, the SEPARATETX
option is applied, not CREATEAUDIT.

File Set Search Order

The search order for ATMFFILESET and ATMFPROGRAMS file sets places more
specific file sets before more general file sets.

1. No wild-card in entire file name ($DATA.FIRM01.PAYROLL)

2. Wild-card only in file part of file name ($DATA.FIRM01.*)
