14.2 Directory of the Default Path
Selecting F" for Files" from the TRANSFER menu displays the
directory of the current default path. To change the default, see
section 14.1.
14.3 Loading the Rack Configuration, Drive
Parameters, and Tasks onto the Rack
The Load option from the Transfer menu allows you to load the rack
configuration, drive parameters, and application tasks onto all
AutoMax Processor and UDC modules in the rack and all Processor
modules on the network(s) through the connection at the leftmost
Processor module. BASIC and Control Block tasks must be compiled
first. Drive parameter and configuration files must be generated first.
Note that a maximum of 32 tasks can be loaded to an AutoMax rack.
The keyswitch must be in the PROGRAM position and the password
must be entered to load any tasks. All tasks will be loaded onto the
Processor specified when the task was added to the rack in the Task
Manager application. Utility tasks must be loaded separately even
though they are added to the rack like other tasks. See 14.3.1 for
more information.
After tasks are loaded onto the rack, they are installed by the
operating system. This procedure involves verifying that all physical
I/O points in the system are defined and consistent with the
information in the configuration.
When you select L" for Load" from the Transfer menu, the screen
will display the following choices:
D Normal Rack Configuration
D Debug Rack Configuration
D Every Parameter File
D Single Parameter File
D Tasks
D All
You have two options when loading the rack configuration. You can
load the complete configuration (normal) or you can load a test
configuration with all I/O mapped to memory (debug). The rack
configuration must be loaded before any AutoMax tasks can be
loaded to the rack.
If you want to use the test configuration with AutoMax and UDC
tasks, you must select the All" option (described below) to load the
drive parameters, AutoMax tasks, and UDC tasks. Then return to the
Transfer menu and select Load Debug Rack Configuration" to load
the test configuration to the rack.
You also have two options when loading the drive parameters to the
UDC module(s). You can load the drive parameters to a UDC module
in a specific slot in the rack, or to all UDC modules in the rack. The
drive parameters must be loaded before the UDC tasks are loaded.
Note that drive parameters cannot be loaded to a UDC module if
UDC tasks are running on the target UDC module. You must stop the
UDC tasks for the target UDC module before you can load the drive
parameters.
