Services for PCs Manager ADD — VMS PCSA_Server_2.1
Additional information available:
SERVICE
The ADD SERVICE command and its options is used to add a File Server service to the access control file. This service may be either a directory service or a printer service.
Additional information available:
/DIRECTORY
The ADD SERVICE/DIRECTORY command is used to create a directory
service for the File Server. It will register the service name in
the File Server Access Control File, optionally create a directory
into which MS-DOS client systems may place files, and create an
access control list entry on the directory to allow appropriate
access to the files placed in the directory by client workstations.
Format:
ADD SERVICE/DIRECTORY service-name
Additional information available:
Parameters
service-name service-name is a 1 to 25 character name by which the service will be known.
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ATTRIBUTES/CONFIRM/CONNECTIONS/FILE_LENGTH
/RMS_PROTECTION/ROOT/TYPE
/ATTRIBUTES
/ATTRIBUTES=rms-attrib
Controls the default file attributes used by the File Server when
creating files under this service. rms-attrib is one of the
following:
STREAM (default)
Files for this service will be created as RMS
stream format files.
SEQUENTIAL_FIXED
Files for this service will be created as RMS
sequential files with fixed length 512 byte
records.
/CONFIRM
/CONFIRM /NOCONFIRM (default) Controls whether a confirmation message is displayed before the directory is created. A response of Y or N may be entered, and if N, the directory is not created and the command is aborted.
/CONNECTIONS
/CONNECTIONS=n /CONNECTIONS=NO_LIMIT (default) Controls the maximum number of connections that can be made to the service. n specifies the maximum number of connections that can be issued from all clients to this service. If NO_LIMIT is specified, then there is no limit to the number of connections to the service.
/FILE_LENGTH
/FILE_LENGTH=type
Controls the length of the file returned to MS-DOS for non-stream
files. type is one of the following:
ACTUAL
The actual length of the file is computed by
scanning the file to determine the number of
records in the file, using this value together with
the file attributes to determine the number of
bytes that would be returned to MS-DOS if the file
were copied. Use of this qualifier may result in
severe degradation in performance of the File
Server.
ESTIMATED (default)
The File Server will estimate the size of the file
based upon the current end-of-file pointer.
/RMS_PROTECTION
/RMS_PROTECTION=protection-mask Establishes a default RMS protection mask for any files created by a user granted access to this service. This protection mask may be modified on a per user/group basis when the service is granted. The protection mask is specified in standard RMS format. The default RMS protection is: SYSTEM:RWED,OWNER:RWED,G:,W:
/ROOT
/ROOT=directory-spec Specifies a root directory for the service. If this qualifier is specified, it overrides the device and root directory implicitly specified by the /TYPE qualifier. If it is omitted, the directory name will be the same as the service name and the device and root directory determined by the /TYPE qualifier.
/TYPE
/TYPE=service-type
Selects the type of directory service to be created, and selects a
default directory into which files for the service will reside.
service-type is the type of service to be created, and must be one
of the following.
APPLICATION (default)
An application directory will be created, with the
default determined by the logical PCFS$APPLICATION.
COMMON
A common directory will be created, with the
default determined by the logical PCFS$COMMON.
SYSTEM
A system directory will be created, with the
default determined by the logical PCFS$SYSTEM.
/PRINTER
The ADD SERVICE/PRINTER command is used to create a printer service
for the File Server. It will register the service name in the File
Server Access Control File, and optionally create a directory into
which MS-DOS client systems may spool files.
Format:
ADD SERVICE/PRINTER service-name queue-name
Additional information available:
Parameters
service-name service-name is a 1 to 25 character name by which the service will be known. queue-name queue-name is the name of the queue to which files will be spooled.
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/CONFIRM/CONNECTIONS/FORM/RMS_PROTECTION/SPOOL_DIRECTORY
/CONFIRM
/CONFIRM /NOCONFIRM (default) Controls whether a confirmation message is displayed before the directory is created. A response of Y or N may be entered, and if N, the directory is not created and the command is aborted.
/CONNECTIONS
/CONNECTIONS=n /CONNECTIONS=NO_LIMIT (default) Controls the maximum number of connections that can be made to the service. n specifies the maximum number of connections that can be issued from all clients to this service. If NO_LIMIT is specified, then there is no limit to the number of connections to the service.
/FORM
/FORM=form-name Specifies a form name from the device control library to be used as a prefix to any spooled print files. The form will place the printer into a known state.
/RMS_PROTECTION
/RMS_PROTECTION=protection-mask Establishes a default RMS protection mask for any files created by a user granted access to this service. This protection mask may be modified on a per user/group basis when the service is granted. The protection mask is specified in standard RMS format. The default RMS protection is: SYSTEM:RWED,OWNER:RWED,G:,W:
/SPOOL_DIRECTORY
/SPOOL_DIRECTORY=directory-name Specifies an existing spool directory to be used for spooling files. If this qualifier is omitted, a spool directory will be created in the directory pointed to by the logical PCFS$SPOOL_DIRECTORY.
