Define a Bitmapped GCOS
Defining a new GCOS consists of assigning:
-
a number (of the new GCOS you are defining, or an existing GCOS you are modifying. We recommend that you do NOT modify the default GCOS1.) Bitmapped GCOS are numbered 1-64. Affinity GCOS are numbered 65-32267.
-
a name (a descriptive name up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Not required for Affinity GCOS.)
-
the required groups (all groups to include in this GCOS. Affinity GCOS does not contain groups.)
To define a bitmapped GCOS: (You can use this procedure to define a new GCOS or to modify an existing GCOS.)
-
Complete a GCOS Worksheet. (See a sample worksheet.)
-
From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, (R) Reconfiguration, and then (G) Group COS.
-
Select (C) Current GCOS and enter the number (1-64) of the bitmapped GCOS you are defining.
-
Select (N) Name GCOS and enter a descriptive name for the new GCOS.
-
Select (A) Add Group and then enter the one- to three-digit numbers of all groups that comprise this GCOS in one of the following formats:
-
A single group, for example, 3
-
A range of groups, for example, 1-128
-
A series of groups, for example, 3,4,6,7
-
L to specify the lower half (1-64)
-
U to specify the upper half (65-128)
-
A to specify all group numbers
-
E to specify even group numbers
-
O to specify odd group numbers
You can mix types of entries, so you can specify all the bits necessary in one attempt. For example, this entry is valid: 1,3,4-19,U. Do not enter spaces after commas, and do not end the entry with a comma.
-
-
If necessary, you can delete groups from the GCOS by selecting (D) Delete Group and entering the group number(s) to delete. Use the same format as for adding groups.
-
To verify that the information you have entered matches your worksheet, select (S) Show GCOS and enter the GCOS number.
-
When you are finished defining the GCOS, save it by exiting from the Group Class of Service Menu.
-
Copy the number of this defined GCOS from your GCOS worksheet to the appropriate mailbox worksheet.
