Services for PCs Manager ADD — VMS PCSA_Server_2.1

Additional information available:

SERVICE

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/PRINTER

/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

ParametersQualifiers

Parameters

service-name

   service-name is a 1 to 25 character name by which the service  will
   be known.

/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:

ParametersQualifiers

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.
