A Naming Context entity has three characteristic attributes:
- Master Access Point
- Supplier Access Point
- Consumer Access Point
You can use the ADD, SET, and REMOVE directives on the Consumer
Access Point attribute only. The remaining two attributes are
read-only attributes and have values set for them during
replication (see HP Enterprise Directory - Management).
You can display the current value of all attributes by specifying
them in a SHOW directive.
Syntax:
ADD DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> <attr> {<value>,...}
REMOVE DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> <attr> {<value>,...}
SET DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> <attr> {<value>,...}
SHOW DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> <attr>
where <name> is the name of the naming context, specified
in quotes, <attr> is a characteristic attribute name and
<value> is the value.
You can display the values of many attributes in one SHOW directive
by separating the attributes with a comma, for example:
SHOW DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> <attribute1>, <attribute2>
Also, you can use the ALL CHARACTERISTICS qualifier with the
SHOW directive, for example:
SHOW DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> ALL CHARACTERISTICS
You can also use the wildcard "*" in a SHOW directive, to
show details of all naming contexts; for example:
SHOW DSA NAMING CONTEXT * ALL CHARACTERISTICS
1 – Consumer Access Point
The Consumer Access Point attribute contains the access point
of the DSA to which this DSA can supply a copy of this naming
context. You can set the Consumer Access Point attribute using
the SET directive, add new values using the ADD directive, or
remove values using the REMOVE directive. You can also display
the current contents of the attribute using the SHOW directive.
There is no default value.
Syntax:
ADD DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> CONSUMER ACCESS POINT {<value>,...}
SET DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> CONSUMER ACCESS POINT {<value>,...}
REMOVE DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> CONSUMER ACCESS POINT {<value>,...}
SHOW DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> CONSUMER ACCESS POINT
where <value> is the access point of the DSA and is
specified as follows:
[ae title = "<distinguished name of DSA>",
presentation address = '<presentation address>']
The AE Title and Presentation Address attributes are both mandatory.
Note that you must specify the AE Title and Presentation
Address in the order shown above.
Specify all valid NSAPs for a consumer DSA. This improves the
network efficiency of this DSA, because it ensures that any
existing connection to that DSA will be re-used. It also ensures
the success of the documented method of implementing replication
for the first time.
Refer to DSA Common_Datatypes for more information
on how to specify an AE Title and a Presentation Address.
2 – Master Access Point
The Master Access Point attribute contains the access point of the DSA which holds the master of this naming context. If the attribute has a value, then the naming context is a shadow naming context, that is, a naming context that has been replicated to this DSA. If the attribute has no value, then this DSA is the master DSA for the naming context. The Master Access Point attribute is read-only and single-valued. Syntax: SHOW DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> MASTER ACCESS POINT where <name> is the identifier of a Naming Context entity.
3 – Supplier Access Point
The Supplier Access Point attribute contains the access point of the DSA which supplied a copy of this naming context to this DSA. If the attribute has a value, it indicates which DSA supplied the shadow naming context. The Supplier Access Point attribute is read-only and single-valued. Syntax: SHOW DSA NAMING CONTEXT <name> SUPPLIER ACCESS POINT where <name> is the identifier of a Naming Context entity.
