A definition file is generated using the text editor to create the system service definitions and network communication definitions.

For the network communication definitions, an object file must be generated before an on-line startup. This object file is created by using the appropriate utility to convert the source file created by the text editor.

The MCF manager definition, MCF communication configuration definition, and MCF application definition are to be created in individual source files, from which individual object files are to be created. However, the MCF communication configuration definition requires two source files because it consists of the common definition and the data communication definition.

For details about a protocol in the network communication definitions, see the applicable OpenTP1 Protocol manual.

For the creation procedure of the message queue definition (MQT communication configuration definition), see the OpenTP1 TP1/Message Queue User's Guide.

For details about how to create the network library definition (TP1/NET/OSI-TP-Extended definition), see the manual OpenTP1 Protocol TP1/NET/OSI-TP-Extended.

Note:

The definitions under $DCDIR/lib/sysconf are definition files used by the OpenTP1 system service. Therefore, do not create definitions by copying the files under $DCDIR/lib/sysconf. Otherwise, OpenTP1 may stop working normally.

Procedures to create the definitions, and the processing flow when starting on-line are shown in Figure 1-3. Once the definitions are created, register the OpenTP1 system in the operating system.
