1 – link
Deletes an individual soft link and replaces it with a new soft link
to redirect lookups from the original location to the new location.
This command is useful when you need to redirect lookups only for a
subset of a directory's contents.
SYNOPSIS
REPLACE LINK link-name [WITH] LINK newtree-name
Arguments
link-name
The full name of the soft link in its old location.
newtree-name
The full name of the directory into which the soft link has moved.
Description
This command deletes a specified soft link and replaces it with
a soft link whose link target is the corresponding entry in the
specified newtree-name directory. This command is useful when
you need to redirect lookups only for a subset of a directory's
contents.
ACCESS RIGHTS
You must have read, write, and delete access to the directory in
which you intend to create the soft link.
1.1 – example
The following command replaces the soft link .ceb.link1 with a soft link whose link target is the corresponding entry in the directory .pjl. dns> replace link .ceb.link1 with link .pjl
2 – object
Deletes a specified object entry and replaces it with a new soft
link whose link target is the corresponding entry in a new location.
This command is useful when you need to redirect lookups only for a
subset of a directory's contents.
SYNOPSIS
REPLACE OBJECT object-name [WITH] LINK newtree-name
Arguments
object-name
The full name of the object entry in its old location.
newtree-name
The full name of the directory to which the object entry was moved.
Description
This command deletes a specified object entry and replaces it with
a soft link whose link target is the corresponding entry in the
specified newtree-name directory. This command is useful when
you need to redirect lookups only for a subset of a directory's
contents.
ACCESS RIGHTS
You must have read, write, and delete access to the directory in
which you intend to create the soft link.
2.1 – example
The following command replaces the object entry .ceb.obj2 with a soft link whose link target is the corresponding entry in the directory .pjl. dns> replace object .ceb.obj2 with link .pjl
3 – subtree
Deletes the contents of a subtree that has just been merged or
appended to a new location and replaces the information with
soft links whose targets are the corresponding entries in the new
location.
SYNOPSIS
REPLACE SUBTREE tree-name[...] [WITH] LINK newtree-name
[EXCLUDE entry-type]
Arguments
tree-name
The full name of the topmost directory in the subtree.
newtree-name
The full name of the topmost directory in the target subtree.
entry-type
One or more of the following types of entries to exclude from the
change: objects, links, or directories. Use any combination of the
following entry-type specifiers, separating multiple arguments with
commas:
objects
links
directory directory name
Description
This command is useful after you have merged or appended a subtree
that contains clearinghouse object entries. For all entries except
clearinghouse object entries, this command deletes the entries in
a directory specified in tree-name and replaces them with soft
links. These soft links redirect lookups of the names from their
old (source) locations to their new (target) locations. Using
this command preserves both the clearinghouse object entry and
its enclosing directory while deleting the directory's contents
and replacing each name with an individual soft link. The optional
recursion notation (...) also applies the delete and replace
operation to the contents of all child directories of tree-name.
ACCESS RIGHTS
You must have read, write, and delete access to the directory you
specify as well as the contents of the directory. If you use the
command recursively, you also need read, write, and delete access
to all child directories (and their contents) of the directory you
specify.
3.1 – example
The following command deletes the entries in the directory .sales.quar1 and replaces them with soft links whose targets are their corresponding entries in .total.quar1 . dns> replace subtree .sales.quar1 with link .total.quar1
