Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/TIMEOUT
/TIMEOUT = seconds seconds specifies the number of seconds that PCSA_MANAGER will wait for LAD$KERNEL to receive a request sent to it, or to respond to a request sent to it. The default timeout value is 30 seconds. If this timeout period expires, PCSA_MANAGER will abort the request and return a device timeout message. A timeout should only occur if there is a problem with LAD$KERNEL, or if the system is very slow.
/USER_MOUNT
/[NO]USER_MOUNT
Controls whether non-privileged users may perform PCSA_MANAGER
commands which affect virtual disk services. If /NOUSER_MOUNT is
specified, then non-privileged users may not perform the following
commands:
CREATE DISK
DELETE DISK
DISMOUNT DISK
MODIFY DISK
MOUNT DISK
SET DISK_SERVER SERVICE
By default, any user may perform the above PCSA_MANAGER commands as
long as the user has write access to the specified virtual disk.
SERVICE
The SET DISK_SERVER SERVICE command changes the characteristics of
a Disk Server service.
Format:
SET DISK_SERVER SERVICE service-name
Additional information available:
Parameters
service-name service-name is the 1 to 25 character name of the service to be modified.
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/CONNECTIONS
/CONNECTIONS=n /CONNECTIONS=NO_LIMIT Modifies the maximum number of connections that can be made to a read only 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. If the service was mounted for read/write access, then this qualifier is ignored.
/PASSWORD
/PASSWORD [ = password] /NOPASSWORD Sets or modifies the access password for the service. If the qualifier value is not specified, then you will be prompted for the password and a verification of the password. In this form, the passwords will not be echoed on the terminal. If /NOPASSWORD is specified, then unrestricted access is granted to the service.
/RATING
/RATING=n Modifies the service rating of the service. n must be between 0 and 65535 inclusive.
FILE_SERVER
The SET FILE_SERVER command is used to modify various operating parameters of the File Server. The operation to be performed is selected from the list below:

The SET FILE_SERVER CHARACTERISTICS command changes various
operating characteristics of the File Server.

Additional information available:
/CONNECTIONS/DEFAULT_ACCOUNT/FILE_LIMIT/SESSION_LIMIT
/CONNECTIONS
/CONNECTIONS=(option[,...])
Controls the maximum number of connections that can be made to all
services on a server wide, or on a client basis. The options are:
TOTAL=keyword
Limits the maximum number of service connections
that can be established for all clients. If
keyword is an integer value, then this specifies
the maximum. If keyword is NO_LIMIT, then there is
no limit to the number of service connections that
can be established.
SESSION=keyword
Limits the maximum number of service connections
that can be established to any one client. If
keyword is an integer value, then this specifies
the maximum. If keyword is NO_LIMIT, then there is
no limit to the number of service connections that
can be established.
/DEFAULT_ACCOUNT
/DEFAULT_ACCOUNT=account-name /NODEFAULT_ACCOUNT (default) Selects the default account in the system UAF that the File Server will use for access control when a client system connects and no access control information is passed. account-name is a 1 to 12 character VMS account to be used as the default. If /NODEFAULT_ACCOUNT is specified and a client attempts to connect with no access control information, the connection will fail.
/FILE_LIMIT
/FILE_LIMIT=(option[,...])
Controls the maximum number of files that can be open by the File
Server on a server wide, or on a client basis. The options are:
TOTAL=keyword
Limits the maximum number of files that can be open
for all clients. If keyword is an integer value,
then this specifies the maximum. If keyword is
NO_LIMIT, then the server limit of 1024 files will
be used.
SESSION=keyword
Limits the maximum number of files that can be open
for one client. If keyword is an integer value,
then this specifies the maximum. If keyword is
NO_LIMIT, then the server limit of 1024 files will
be used.
/SESSION_LIMIT
/SESSION_LIMIT=keyword /SESSION_LIMIT=NO_LIMIT (default) Controls the maximum number of DECnet sessions that the File Server will support. If keyword is an integer value, then this specifies the maximum. If keyword is NO_LIMIT, then the maximum is determined by the local host DECnet configuration parameters.
SERVICE
The SET FILE_SERVER SERVICE command modifies the attributes of an
active File Server service or a File Server service registered in
the File Server Access Control File.
Format:
SET FILE_SERVER SERVICE service-name
Additional information available:
Parameters
service-name service-name is the 1 to 25 character name of the service to be modified.
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ACTIVE/ATTRIBUTES/CONNECTIONS/FILE_LENGTH
/PERMANENT/RMS_PROTECTION
/ACTIVE
/ACTIVE This qualifier specifies that the active values currently in use by the File Server are to be modified. The permanent values in the File Server Access Control File are not affected. This qualifier cannot be used with /PERMANENT. /ACTIVE is the default unless /PERMANENT is specified.
/ATTRIBUTES
/ATTRIBUTES=rms-attrib
Modifies the default file attributes used by the File Server when
creating files under this service. This qualifier is ignored if
the specified service is a printer 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.
/CONNECTIONS
/CONNECTIONS=n /CONNECTIONS=NO_LIMIT (default) Modifies 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
Modifies how the length of non-stream files are computed when
returned to MS-DOS. This qualifier is ignored if the specified
service is a printer service. 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.
/PERMANENT
/PERMANENT This qualifier specifies that the permanent values in the File Server Access Control File are to be modified. The current values in use by the File Server are not affected. This qualifier cannot be used with /ACTIVE.
/RMS_PROTECTION
/RMS_PROTECTION=protection-mask Modifies the default RMS protection mask used 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:. This qualifier cannot be used with /ACTIVE.
