Tailoring the Automatic Commands Files

The CMNDS MIM and SYNCH MIM files are optional files that contain commands that are executed automatically at startup. You can use the CMNDS MIM file to execute CA MIM commands at startup before systems synchronize with each other. You can use the SYNCH MIM file to execute CA MIM commands and CP commands after all systems synchronize.

In general, there are no effective differences between issuing CA MIM commands from the CMNDS MIM or SYNCH MIM files. Where differences exist, they are noted in the usage notes for the commands.

Note: CP commands can only be issued from the SYNCH MIM file.

Not all CA MIM commands are useful when they are placed in the CMNDS MIM or SYNCH MIM files. The following section briefly summarizes the commands that are best suited for inclusion in these files.
