NAME
admx400parameter - controls AV/X.400 parameters
SYNOPSIS
admx400parameter [-v] [-q] -o operation object arg ...
where:
object
This is the fully qualified name of the object.
arg This contains the parameter, syntax etc.
DESCRIPTION
The admx400parameter command is used by the SYSADM-II
menus to control the configuration of the AV/X.400 system.
It can display and/or modify any of the parameters that
control the operation of the processes. This is limited to
those parameters which are read at when AV/X.400 is started.
The default instance of AV/X.400 will be controlled unless
the X400USER shell variable is initialized to point at
another instance.
Running admx400parameter without any arguments will
display a usage message.
The possible values for the operation are:
get This operation gets the value of one or more parameters
as specified on the command line. The format of the
display depends on whether -v or -q have been
specified. In the first case, the display contains the
tabel of parameters; i.e., parameter name = parameter
value' statements. In the second case, the display
contains only the parameter value.
The arg should consist of the parameter name and the
syntax.
modify
This operation modifies a parameter to have a new
value. Note that the parameter must already exist and
have been defined. Patterns can be supplied for the
object name; this provides an easy way of modifying
parameters for each process simultaneously.
The arg should consist of the parameter name, the
syntax and the new value.
list This operation provides a nicer display format than
get. The description argument is left justified, within
a 24 column field and parameter value is displayed to
the right of this description.

The arg should consist of the parameter name, the
syntax and the field name.
There are two options that may be used to modify the output
generated. These conform to the standard for SYSADM-II
scripts.
-v Display useful information (if possible).
-q Do not display anything (if possible).
The default is -v.
Parameters
There are many parameters that you can modify. For a full
description of them, consult the appropriate documentation.
Some of the more useful parameters are described below.
Most of the more useful parameters are attached to the root
object within each process. A useful pattern to select all
root objects is `1.2.840.113528.101.3.1.3.1#:'x400-
[\^:]*'P'. This means "AV/X.400
(1.2.840.113528.101.3.1.3.1) on the local host (#), all
X.400 (x400-) root ([\^:]*) objects". Note that some care is
required to get the right string passed into the
admx400parameter script as some of the characters are
normally expanded by the shell.
MCOIDx400MeTraceLevel (Syntax INTEGER)
This parameter controls the amount of tracing output by
the AV/X.400 processes. The value must lie with in the
range 0 (least tracing) to 9 (most tracing). The
parameter is attached to the root object within each
process.
Syntax
Three syntaxes are currently supported.
duration
This signifies that the parameter measures an elapsed
time. The format of a valid value is <number><unit>.
<unit> must be one of s (seconds), m (minutes), h
(hours), d (days) or w (weeks).
string
The parameter is stored as a string.
integer
The parameter is an integer value with no particular
units.

FILES
/usr/opt/x400/etc/nada-master Master copy of the
parameters.
/usr/opt/x400/etc/x400.oid Holds all parameter
names.
DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostics are self-explanatory and are output to
stdout. The normal exit code is 0, any other indicates an
error.
