TCPIP$UCP_HELP.HLB  —  sysconfigdb
    SYNOPSIS

      sysconfigdb {-a | -u} [-t target] -f file subsystem-name

      sysconfigdb {-m | -r} [-t target] -f file subsystem-name

      sysconfigdb -d [-t target] subsystem-name

      sysconfigdb -l [-t target] [subsystem-name, ...]

1  –  FLAGS

    -a             Adds the specified subsystem entry to the target
                   file.

    -d             Deletes the specified subsystem entry from the
                   target file.

    -f file        Specifies the input file, a stanza file that
                   contains entries for one or more subsystems. The
                   default target file is the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file.
                   Specify another target file by using the -t target
                   flag.

    -l             Lists the specified subsystem entries in the
                   target file. If you do not specify a subsystem
                   name, all subsystem entries in the target file are
                   listed. The SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file is the default
                   target file.

    -m             Merges subsystem attributes specified in the input
                   file with the subsystem attributes in the target
                   file. If you do not specify a subsystem name, all
                   subsystem entries in the input file are merged.
                   The SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file is the default target
                   file.

    -r             Removes the subsystem entries specified in the
                   input file from the target file. The only entries
                   removed are those that have attribute names and
                   values that exactly match those in the input
                   file. If you do not specify the subsystem name,
                   all subsystem entries in the input file with
                   attributes that match are removed from the target
                   file. The SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file is the default
                   target database file.

    -t file        Specifies the target file for the operation. If
                   you do not specify this flag, the default target
                   file is the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file.

    -u             Replaces a subsystem entry in the target file with
                   the subsystem entry specified in the input file.

2  –  DESCRIPTION

    The sysconfigdb utility is used to manage the subsystem
    configuration table (TCPIP$ETC:SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT). To specify
    another file as a target file, use the -t flag.

    To modify a target file, create a stanza file. This stanza file
    contains the name of one or more subsystems, each with a list
    of attributes and their values, as described in the HP TCP/IP
    Services for OpenVMS Tuning and Troubleshooting manual.

    Modifications that you make to the sysconfigtab are changed the
    next time the subsystem is reloaded.

    When the target file is another file, there is no synchronization
    with the subsystem configuration database.

3  –  RESTRICTIONS

    You must have system management privileges to run the sysconfigdb
    utility to modify the system configuration table.

4  –  PARAMETERS

    subsystem-name     Specifies a subsystem that contains the
                       attributes you want to modify. The subsystem
                       name and attributes are in a stanza input
                       file.

                       You must specify the subsystem name when
                       deleting (-d), adding (-a), or replacing (-u)
                       a subsystem.

                       In other cases, when you do not specify a
                       subsystem name, the operation is attempted for
                       all the subsystems and attributes specified in
                       the input file.

5  –  EXAMPLES

    1. To replace the table_mgr_1 entry in the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file
       with the information in the TABLE_MGR.STANZA file for the
       table_mgr_1 subsystem, use the following command. The command
       updates the in-memory copy of the subsystem configuration
       database to match the modified SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file.

       TCPIP> sysconfigdb -u -f table_mgr.stanza table_mgr_1

    2. To merge the tbl_mgr_2 information from the table_mgr.stanza
       file with the information already in the tbl_mgr_2 entry
       in the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file, use the following command.
       The command updates the in-memory copy of the subsystem
       configuration database to match the modified SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT
       file.

       TCPIP> sysconfigdb -m -f table_mgr.stanza tbl_mgr_2

    3. To list the entry for the subsystem table_mgr_1, use the
       following command. This command does not update the in-memory
       copy of the subsystem configuration database.

       TCPIP> sysconfigdb -l table_mgr_1
       table_mgr_1:
                     size = 10
                     name = Ten-Element-Table

    4. To delete the table_mgr_1 entry from the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file
       and update the in-memory copy of the subsystem configuration
       database to match the modified SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file, use the
       following command:

       TCPIP> sysconfigdb -d table_mgr_1
