The mds_install utility is used to install or uninstall the Module Directory Services database used by CDSA. This program generally is called by SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$INITIALIZE.COM. SYNOPSIS mds_install [ [-s source] [-d dbdest] ] | [-u] OPTIONS NOTE: OpenVMS users can specify only the -u option (or no option). However, the other options are described here for completeness for users who are accustomed to seeing them on another platform. -s source Specifies the MDS Dll source location (not used by OpenVMS). -d dbdest Specifies the destination file specification for the MDS database to be created. This parameter is currently hardcoded on OpenVMS, and should not be changed. -u Specifies that the operation is an uninstall of MDS, rather than an install. This parameter cannot be used with the -s and -d parameters.
1 – EXAMPLE
