Attempts to update a backtranslation softlink entity in the specified namespace. In order words, the node will attempt to ensure that the backtranslation softlink information present in its session control database is consistent with the softlink information in the DECdns namespace. update [node node-id] session control - backtranslation softlink softlinkname Normally, all the node's backtranslation softlinks are periodically updated in the DECdns namespace when the session control attribute maintain backward soft links is true. However, if updates fail, you can use the DNS$CONTROL or DECNET_REGISTER tools to confirm that a DECdns server is accessible and that the node's object and softlinks are properly configured in the namespace. Examples: update session control backtranslation softlink - WINTER:.DNA_BACKTRANSLATION.%X49.%X0018.%XAA00040052A60 ! Attempts to update the softlink for DECnet address 24.42 ! in the WINTER namespace. update session control backtranslation softlink - WINTER:.DNA_BACKTRANSLATION.%XA1725E45 ! Attempts to update the softlink for IP address ! 161.114.94.69 in the WINTER namespace. (OpenVMS only)
