The procedure for creating definition object files is described below.

Definition object files must not be changed between startup and a restart. If they are changed, the restart operation cannot be guaranteed.

1. Use the OS text editor to create the following definition source files from the MCF definition files:
   
   • MCF manager definition source file
   • Common definition source file for MCF communication configuration definition
   • Data communication definition source file for MCF communication configuration definition
   • MCF application definition source file
2. Use the MCF definition object generation utility to generate the following object files from the definition source files:
   
   • MCF manager definition object file
   • Common definition object file for MCF communication configuration definition
   • Data communication definition object file for MCF communication configuration definition
   • MCF application definition object file
3. Use the definition linkage utility to link the common definition object file and the data communication definition object file for the MCF communication configuration definition.

The following shows an overview of the definition object file creation procedure.

#1

The following command is used:

mcfXXXX-i [path-name] input-file-name-o [path-name] output-object-file-name

mcfXXXX depends on the source file:

mcfmngr

mcfostp

TP1/NET/OSI-TP protocol-specific definition source file for MCF communication configuration definition

mcfxp

TP1/NET/XMAP3 protocol-specific definition source file for MCF communication configuration definition

mcfhna560
