Services for PCs Manager SET — VMS PCSA_Server_2.1

   The SET command and its options is used to modify various operating
   parameters of both the Disk Server and the File Server.  The server
   to be affected must be specified as a keyword to the SET command.

Additional information available:

/TIMEOUT/USER_MOUNT

/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

Parameters

service-name

   service-name is the 1 to 25 character name of  the  service  to  be
   modified.

Additional information available:

/CONNECTIONS/PASSWORD/RATING

/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

/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

ParametersQualifiers

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.
