Repair the synonym and reverse address mapping links for nodes in a directory service. REPAIR [DECNET] NODE node-name [ DIRECTORY_SERVICE dir-service ] [ REVERSE_DIRECTORY rev-dir-name ] [ SYNONYM_DIRECTORY syn-dir-name ] This is used when a node's synonym and reverse address mapping links are accidentally deleted or otherwise changed to that they no longer map to the correct node name. To determine whether or not a node's synonym and reverse address mapping links are correct, use the SHOW command with the FULL keyword.
1 – NODE
This specifies the name of the node whose links are to be repaired. NODE node-name This argument is not used when repairing the Local Naming Database. It is used only for DECdns. The node name must be the fully specified name for the node in the directory service. For example: For DECdns: NODE MyCo:.Sales.MailHub Wildcards are allowed in the node name using an asterisk (*). For example: For DECdns: NODE MyCo:.Sales.Mail* The wildcard character can come anywhere in the last part of the name. Only a single wildcard character is allowed. The Phase IV database does not require or use synonym or reverse address mapping links. This command does not apply to this directory service.
2 – DIRECTORY_SERVICE
This specifies the directory service that contains the node whose links are to be repaired. DIRECTORY_SERVICE dir-service The service must be one of: DIRECTORY_SERVICE LOCAL DIRECTORY_SERVICE DECDNS The Phase IV database does not require or use synonym or reverse address mapping links. This command does not apply to this directory service. If not specified, the default service type is used. This default can be displayed or changed using the SHOW or SET DEFAULT commands.
3 – REVERSE_DIRECTORY
This specifies the base directory or name entry to use when repairing the reverse address mapping links (also called back translation links). REVERSE_DIRECTORY rev-dir-name This argument is not used when repairing the Local Naming Database. It is used only for DECdns. The links under this directory are used to map NSAP values to their respective node names. These directories are used only for the DECdns directory service. If not specified, the default reverse directory is used. This default can be displayed or changed using the SHOW or SET DEFAULT commands. For more information, please refer to the NAMES_AND_DIRECTORIES topic.
4 – SYNONYM_DIRECTORY
This specifies the base directory or name entry to use when repairing the synonym mapping link. SYNONYM_DIRECTORY syn-dir-name This argument is not used when repairing the Local Naming Database. It is used only for DECdns. The links under this directory are used to map Phase IV synonyms to their respective node names. These directories are used only for the DECdns directory service. If not specified, the default synonym directory is used. This default can be displayed or changed using the SHOW or SET DEFAULT commands. For more information, please refer to the NAMES_AND_DIRECTORIES topic.
