Hi Jan, Wirt & Jim,
    Ok, I am looking forward to dynamic DTC changes when I go to MPE/iX 5.5 but
I thot I had to do a power down on the DTC's to get the changes to download???
Am I wrong yet again? hehehe

Dear Jim and other Netters,

Dynamic configuration of DTC is a new feature in MPE 5.5, in most of the
older versions of MPE it is/was not possible.

Greetings,


Jan Gerrit Kootstra.


May MPE survive the year 2k, for it still runs ok.

Well, I feel really strange and I may show my ignorance here, but I have to

correct Wirt's response in just a teeny, tiny little bit:

Maybe prior to MPE/iX 5.5.  I'm on 5.5 and I have made numerous changes to
DTC configs in NMMGR, including defining an entirely new DTC.  In every
case
I was able to activate the new config by doing a RESET on the DTC in
TERMDSM within SYSDIAG.  The reset performs a code download to the DTC (it
also aborts all the other users on that DTC's ports) and thereby activates
the new config.
