DFS Command Types

DFS commands follow these general naming rules. Commands that begin with

· add or rm (remove) affect lists or groups of DFS objects. For example, bos addadmin adds an administrative user to an administrative list.

· cr (create) or del (delete) affect DFS objects. For example, fts crserverentry creates a DFS object, a server entry.

· ls (list) are used to display objects and groups of objects.

· set are used to assign values to parameters; for example, fts setrepinfo assigns replication parameters. Analogously, commands beginning with get are used to display parameters; for example, cm getcachesize displays parameters used by the Cache Manager.
