UCX NFS (UCP) IMPORT — VMS UCX_1.3
The IMPORT command copies (and by default converts) a VMS file to
a file within an Ultrix File System. No wildcards are allowed in
either the VMS or Ultrix file specification.
The VMS protection and ownership plus the ULTRIX identity of the
file to be added to the ULTRIX file system requires a ULTRIX UID
and GID, as well as a VMS user_name (and therefore, UIC). This
information is provided via the UCX$PROXY database.
The /HOST, /UID, and /USER_NAME qualifiers may be specified in
order to select which record will be accessed from the database.
The default UCX$PROXY record selection is:
A. If the process running UCX$UCP has SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege,
a UID of 0 and a GID of 1 will be used to select a record from
the database. This record will provide the VMS user_name.
B. If the process running UCX$UCP does not have SYSPRV or BYPASS
privilege, the VMS user_name of the process will be used to
select a record from the database. This record will provide
the ULTRIX UID and GID.
In all cases, SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege is required to access a
UCX$PROXY record whose VMS user_name maps to a UIC which does not
match the UIC of the process.
Format:
IMPORT vms_file_specification "Ultrix_file_specification"
Additional information available:
/CONVERT/HOST/LOG/MODE/UID/USER_NAME
/CONVERT
Ultrix files are stored as stream LF files on VMS. The /CONVERT
qualifier is used to convert VMS record files to stream LF files.
If the /NOCONVERT qualifier is specified, then no conversion will
be provided.
The default is /CONVERT.
Format:
IMPORT /[NO]CONVERT vms_file_specification "pathname"
/HOST
Selects an entry in the UCX$PROXY database in order to determine the
ownership of the ULTRIX file.
The UID and GID fields in the UCX$PROXY entry are used to establish
the file's ULTRIX identity, while the user_name field is used to
provide the VMS ownership.
This qualifier may be required if you wish to access an entry in the
UCX$PROXY database which is not unique with respect to UIC and user-
name (i.e. the same UID/user_name combination on multiple hosts).
The /HOST qualifier can be used in any combination with the /UID
and /USER_NAME qualifiers.
Format:
IMPORT vms_file_specification "pathname" /USER_NAME=vms_username
/HOST=host_name
/UID=ULTRIX_uid
/LOG
Determines whether or not information is displayed which describes
the UCX$PROXY database record that was selected in order to
determine ownership. Refer to /USER_NAME for a description of root
directory ownership.
The default is to display the values for the host, uid, gid,
and user_name from the record selected from the UCX$PROXY database.
Format:
IMPORT vms_file_specification "pathname" /[NO]LOG
/MODE
Specifies the Ultrix protection code associated with the file.
Format:
IMPORT /MODE=number vms_file_specification "pathname"
The default is that the mode will be taken from the directory that
the VMS file will be placed into.
/UID
Selects an entry in the UCX$PROXY database in order to determine the
ownership of the ULTRIX file.
The UID and GID fields in the UCX$PROXY entry are used to establish
the file's ULTRIX identity, while the user_name field is used to
provide the VMS ownership.
The /HOST qualifier may be required if you wish to access an entry
in the UCX$PROXY database which is not unique with respect to UID
and user_name (i.e. the same UID/user_name combination on multiple
hosts).
The /UID qualifier can be used in any combination with the /HOST
and /USER_NAME qualifiers.
Format:
IMPORT vms_file_specification "pathname" /USER_NAME=vms_username
/HOST=host_name
/UID=ULTRIX_uid
/USER_NAME
Selects an entry in the UCX$PROXY database in order to determine the
ownership of the ULTRIX file.
The UID and GID fields in the UCX$PROXY entry are used to establish
the file's ULTRIX identity, while the user_name field is used to
provide the VMS ownership.
The /HOST qualifier may be required if you wish to access an entry
in the UCX$PROXY database which is not unique with respect to UID
and user_name (i.e. the same UID/user_name combination on multiple
hosts).
The /USER_NAME qualifier can be used in any combination with the
/HOST and /UID qualifiers.
Format:
IMPORT vms_file_specification "pathname" /USER_NAME=vms_username
/HOST=host_name
/UID=ULTRIX_uid
