Parameters

serviceName

   The name by which the service is known to the local area network.
   The service name can consist of alphanumeric characters, dollar
   signs ($), and wildcards. It can be up to 255 characters in
   length. If omitted, the service name defaults to all services.

   In the InfoServer utility, wildcards, where supported, are those
   used in OpenVMS. The % character matches exactly one character.
   The * character matches zero or more characters.


device-or-partitionName

   The device or partition name is the name of the OpenVMS disk
   device or partition as it is to be known to the local area
   network. The name of the device or partition that you enter must
   have been created previously.

   Explanations of device and partition names follow.

   o  Device names

      Devices served to the local area network are OpenVMS disk
      devices; use OpenVMS device names when you specify an
      InfoServer device name. Note that the device name must either
      match exactly the name that the SHOW SERVICES command displays
      or must contain wildcards.

      In the InfoServer utility, wildcards, where supported, are
      those used in OpenVMS. The % character matches exactly one
      character. The * character matches zero or more characters.

      A disk specification must end with a colon.

   o  Partition names

      Partitions are container files that are served to the network.
      As such, they have OpenVMS file names with a default file type
      of ".ESS$PARTITION". Partition names, including the device,
      directory, and file name, can be no more than 242 characters
      in length.

      Support for partitions is limited in this version. VSI strongly
      suggests that you use LD devices to support partitioned hard
      drives. See the DCL command LD HELP for more information.
