    LindaLeigh,
    
    	My customer does configure DECnet by copying NET$*.NCL
    files into the target directory. If NET$CONFIGURE.COM is not
    run, NET$CHECKSUM*.DAT do not exist!
    
    If there is no SYS$SYSTEM:NET$CHECKSUM_NCL_LOCAL.DAT 
    we get the same failure as noted in .0
    
    DECNET_MIGRATE> show path to  mozart
    Error - Unsupported primary directory service
    
    this is AXP DECnet/OSI V6.3 ECO06
    
    	Question: Is there a possibility to generate 
    		  checksum files from NCL-files?
    
    Regards

    Why? What are they doing that they cannot do with NET$CONFIGURE?

    That's not supported.  The supported way to configure DECnet is with
    NET$CONFIGURE.  As Antonio said, I'd be curious to hear why copying 
    the scripts is easier than running NET$CONFIGURE.

    I can't think of any supported (or easy but unsupported) way to do
    this.

I am a network administrator for a large company that has many DECnet nodes,
numbering in the 100's.  In order to make my management task easier, I maintain
on a single system, copies of all the .NCL files used by the other systems.
Thus, when I need to make a change, I edit my local copy of the .NCL file, and
then simply copy it to the remote system into the appropriate target directory.
This is much easier for me to do, than logging in via SET HOST and running a
rather laborious (but admittedly cute) menu driven command procedure.

fwiw,

    If you've read enough of NET$CONFIGURE to be sure that what you are doing is
    safe, I'm sure you've read enough of NET$CONFIGURE to have a simple
    wrapper on your local system that points you at a set of files (.NCL
    and .DAT) which completely describe the target system. The you copy the
    scripts and the .DAT files.
    
    Or you read a tiny bit more and learn to generate your own .DAT and
    checksum files.
    
    Or you use your presumably considerable buying power to influence the
    future development of DECnet-Plus to ensure that your situation is
    adequately catered for. (I'm sure that with a small amount of money to
    pay for an engineer we could have a configurator which could do all
    that is required to manage your global network from a central node).
