When to use
You can use the SYSGEN command to download SST files from a
host computer to an online-only or an online/offline switchable
printing system to generate a new system. This type of sysgen is
normally performed for the following purposes:
•
To add major new features to the existing operating system
•
To replace the existing version of the operating system with a
new version.
System disks are not formatted prior to an update sysgen. You
do not need to back up your files as long as there is sufficient
room on the disks to generate the new system.
1. Load the current sysgen processor into main memory.
2. Use a SYSGEN command to download the new sysgen
processor into main memory.
3. Use another SYSGEN command to download system files that
are then used by the processor to build the new operating
system.
4. Apply patches.
Note:
An update sysgen resets the patch history file.
