Applying Updates to Configuration Files

To update or change an existing SNA configuration file using an update file, do the following:
  1. Using a text editor, create an update file that contains keywords to be added, deleted, or changed in an existing SNA node configuration file.
  2. Add an include statement at the bottom of the existing SNA node configuration or template indicating the name of the update file.
  3. Invoke the SNA Configuration Verification utility by typing the following on the command line: 
    vacgcon config.acg newconfig.chg
    config.acg
    The existing configuration file
    newconfig.chg
    The new configuration file

    You must remove the include statement to reuse your template as a configuration file.

Note: When an update file does not contain a complete, usable configuration, it is recommended that you use an extension other than .ACG.
