NCLHELP.HLB  —  Directory Module, DSA  Naming Context, Characteristics
 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.
