Creating a Text Configuration file
If entered during a BACKUP CONFIG command, STOP CONFIG throws away the configuration text file
•
being created, and configuration commands can be input.
If entered during a RESTORE CONFIG command, STOP CONFIG cancels the execution of the file, closes
•
out the log file (if one is being output) and configuration commands can be input.
Stopping a RESTORE CONFIG should be done before the database is purged and the system reboots;
Note:
otherwise, an incorrect configuration could be installed.
1.9.3.4 Viewing the Progress of a BACKUP or RESTORE
While a BACKUP or RESTORE is in progress, the user can view the status of the file execution using the com-
mand SHOW CONFIG STATUS. The command displays the processes that are run, and as each one is com-
pleted, it will have a 100% displayed next to it.
If a STOP CONFIG is input during a BACKUP or RESTORE, the SHOW CONFIG STATUS will show which
process was being run when the STOP CONFIG command was input, and what percentage of that process was
completed. When the text file configuration is present on the system, the system will use the text file to create
the DB which it runs from. The text file configuration will also be kept up to date as additional commands are
entered into the system.
Following is an example of the SHOW CONFIG command when a STOP CONFIG command has been input
during a BACKUP CONFIG. Notice that

1.9.3.5 Editing a Text Configuration File
Once the BACKUP command has been used to create a text file of the system configuration, the file can be
edited by using the PUT FILE command to send the file to a destination (such as a server) where it can be
edited. The file can then be placed back onto the FLASH or FLASH media using the GET FILE command.
Following is an example of this sequence:
