Transmit the ModifyDhctConfiguration Transaction With the
modDhctCfg Utility
Overview
Introduction
System operators can use the modDhctCfg utility to transmit the
ModifyDhctConfiguration transaction to DHCTs. The ModifyDhctConfiguration
transaction modifies the status and authorizations of one or more DHCT records.

Support System (BOSS) Interface Specification document for a complete description

The modDhctCfg utility retrieves authorization and package data from the database,
formats it into the ModifyDhctConfiguration transaction, and transmits it to the
appropriate DHCT(s). The main purpose of the utility is to regenerate and send
EMMs to DHCTs. The utility essentially refreshes a DHCT by sending the last
ModifyDhctConfiguration transaction that the DNCS received for the DHCTs.

modDhctCfg utility. Instructions for using the –s option, as well as other options
supported by the modDhctCfg utility, are provided throughout this chapter.
The modDhctCfg Utility at a Glance
The modDhctCfg utility can transmit the ModifyDhctConfiguration transaction to a
single DHCT or to a list of DHCTs. When you want to transmit the
ModifyDhctConfiguration transaction to a single DHCT, supply the modDhctCfg
utility with the MAC address of that DHCT. When you want to transmit the
ModifyDhctConfiguration transaction to several DHCTs, supply the modDhctCfg
utility with the name of a file that contains the MAC address of the appropriate
DHCTs.
A Note About Staging Operations and the Billing Interface
When the modDhctCfg utility runs, it tends to compete for system resources with
staging operations, as well as with the activities of the billing computer. If you have
to process a large number of DHCTs with the modDhctCfg utility, and if time is
important, consider temporarily disabling the billing interface and suspending
staging operations.
