NAME

create object - Creates an object entry

SYNOPSIS

cdscp create object object-name [CDS_Class = class-name]
[CDS_ClassVersion = value]

ARGUMENTS

object-nameThe full name of the object entry. 

CDS_Class = class-name
The class of object entry being created.  You can specify an application-defined class name.  A class is specified as a simple name limited to 31 characters.

CDS_ClassVersion = value
The version of the class assigned to the object entry.  Specify the value as v.n, where v defines the major release number and n specifies the minor version number.  Specifying a class version is useful in that it allows the definition of a class to evolve as the application is revised. 

DESCRIPTION

The create object command creates an object entry.  This task is usually done through a client application. 

Privileges Required

You must have i (insert) permission to the parent directory. 

NOTES

This command is replaced at DCE Version 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE. 

EXAMPLES

The following command creates an object entry named /.:/sales/east/floor1cp.  The object entry describes a color printer on the first floor of a company’s eastern sales office. 

cdscp> create object /.:/sales/east/floor1cp \
       CDS_Class = printer CDS_ClassVersion = 1.0
