The ACF2TASK EXEC lets you perform the following steps. We provide detailed information for each step on the following pages.

Step	Description
1	Merges the VM directory into the Logonid database.
2	Modify options in VMXAOPTS and assemble HCPAC0 (or create/modify the ACF2VM CONFIG file options).
3	Sets up the STARTUP OPTIONS file.
4	Generates the CP nucleus, IPLs, and updates the VMO records.

The syntax of the ACF2TASK EXEC follows:

           [ INSTALL      ]
ACF2TASK   [ RESTART [nn] ]
           [ STEP  [nn]   ]
           [ ?            ]

INSTALL: Starts the ACF2TASK EXEC. You normally use this parameter once for a CA ACF2 for z/VM release.
RESTART: Restarts the exec. You are prompted for the step where you want to restart the installation. You can specify a step you already completed or the step after the one you last completed.
STEP: Installs one step. You can use this parameter for maintenance or to perform a step you previously completed.
?: Displays the ACF2TASK command syntax and provides help information.
nn: Indicates the step you want to restart with or the step you want to perform.
