C Running CNFGINFO
NOTE: If you do not work with third-party or customer-developed software, you are unlikely to
ever run CNFGINFO.
This appendix describes using the DSM/SCM Configuration Information (CNFGINFO) tool to
create or modify a product’s A0CINFO or A7INFO file. Use CNFGINFO to define or modify
installation information (file or product attributes) for third-party or customer-developed software
applications for systems to be managed by DSM/SCM. CNFGINFO is launched from the Start
menu on your PC desktop.
CNFGINFO collects developer-specified or user-specified attributes for a product and its files,
creates one or more records per file of the attributes, and places the records in a configuration
information (A0CINFO) file in the product’s distribution subvolume (DSV). These attributes are
passed to DSM/SCM when the DSV is received into the archive and stored in the DSM/SCM
database. DSM/SCM later uses these attributes to process the files when it creates a configuration
revision to be applied to a target.
When CNFGINFO creates an A0CINFO file, it also creates an A7CINFO file automatically if the
distribution subvolume contains a USTAR format archive file created with the pax utility, and the
corresponding target subvolume is set to ZOSSUTL. For more information about the pax utility, see
the Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual. CNFGINFO does not handle
A1CINFO files.

Preparing to Run CNFGINFO
To run CNFGINFO, the file CNFGI.EXE must be installed on a PC with a Winsock connection to
a NonStop host system. (See
Chapter 4: “Configuring the NonStop Software Management
Environment” .) If you are running CNFGINFO outside DSM/SCM, you must run the server program
file CNFGINFO from the ZDSMSCM subvolume using these parameters: NOWAIT, NAME $ZPHC,
TERM, IN, and OUT. The server will be running if the full DSM/SCM product is installed and you
have run STARTSCM from the ZDSMSCM subvolume.
Before you run CNFGINFO
1. Place the appropriate product files in a DSV:
Files to be put in the DSV Scenario
All product files Defining a new application (product)
All product files for the new revision Defining a new revision to your product
