Run a SYNC_DIRBOT channel. Syntax PMDF DIRSYNC/DIRBOT Command Qualifiers Defaults /LEFTOVERS See text /NOUPDATE=dirlist See text /UPDATE=dirlist See text
1.1 – Parameters
None.
1.2 – Description
The PMDF DIRSYNC/DIRBOT utility can be used to run a SYNC_DIRBOT channel. If no qualifiers are specified, this is equivalent to $ @PMDF_COM:MASTER SYNC_DIRBOT Special qualifiers can be used to override the normal operation of the channel. Using the /LEFTOVERS qualifier forces the DIRBOT to use any .OLD LDIF files for directories that do not currently have new LDIF files present. When a directory update is forced with the /LEFTOVERS switches, and no cookie is available to send back to a directory, the cookie value "biscuit" is used. The various sync_ xxx_master channels know about this value and will accept the update. The /UPDATE or /NOUPDATE qualifier can be used to control just which directories will be sent the results of the DIRBOT processing.
1.3 – Command Qualifiers
1.3.1 /LEFTOVERS
Use of the /LEFTOVERS qualifiers causes the DIRBOT to use .OLD LDIF files for any directories that do not presently have new LDIF files present. That is, specifying /LEFTOVERS is equivalent to having BEST_WITHIN set to an infinite time for every directory.
1.3.2 /UPDATE
/UPDATE=dirlist /NOUPDATE=dirlist By default, if neither /UPDATE nor /NOUPDATE is specified, the DIRBOT sends its updates resulting from processing as normal, as specified in its option file. Use of /UPDATE or /NOUPDATE can be used to override the normal handling. Specifying /UPDATE=(dir1,dir2,...) will cause the updates to be sent only to the specified list of directories dir1,dir2,.... Specifying /NOUPDATE=(dir1,dir2,...) will cause the updates to be sent to all directories except the specified list of directories dir1,dir2,....
