hacf -cftocmd config

Hello,

 

I would like to create VCS commands from main.cf file. I would like to do the following command to dump the main.cf to main.cmd in temp directory.

 

hacf -cftocmd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config -dest /tmp

 

Would it affect any of the configuraiton? Would it harm any of the resouce which are running now? I want to make sure before I run it.

    No this will not effect running VCS - actually, even if you write main.cmd in /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config, it still won't effect running VCS.  VCS does not use main.cmd and actually it only uses main.cf when VCS starts up as config is held in memory

    The Windows product was updated a few years ago so that a simple hacf -verify command would automatically generate the main.cmd file in the conf/config folder.  I'm not sure if the other platforms were also updated to do the same or not.  But if they were then there might already be a main.cmd file in your config folder.

     

    Thank you,

    hacf -verify does indeed generate a main.cmd in the directory of the main.cf you are verifying for UNIX and I think it was doing this in VCS 3.5 over 10 years ago.  I always use the "-verify" flag to generate a main.cmd to save remembering another flag and this has no impact on VCS whether you run it on actual main.cf in conf/config or a copy of main.cf (and types.cf files) in a temp directory.
