HELPLIB.HLB  —  AUTOGEN  Phases  GETDATA
    The GETDATA phase collects the following information required for
    AUTOGEN calculations and places it in the file PARAMS.DAT:

    o  Hardware configuration data

    o  VSI-supplied data from CLU$PARAMS.DAT

    o  Feedback from AGEN$FEEDBACK.DAT (if run in feedback mode)

    o  User-supplied data from MODPARAMS.DAT

    The GETDATA phase also attempts to configure devices on the
    system, by executing the following procedure and command:

    o  The command procedure SYS$MANAGER:SYCONFIG.COM. (For more
       information about this procedure, refer to the chapter on
       managing devices in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.)

    o  The SYSGEN command AUTOCONFIGURE ALL (unless the symbol
       STARTUP$AUTOCONFIGURE_ALL is set to 0 in SYCONFIG.COM).

    The GETDATA phase is valid as a start phase and an end phase.
    GETDATA requires the SYSPRV and CMKRNL privileges.
