Synopsis
cdscp define cached server name tower value
Arguments
name
A simple name for the cached server.
tower value
The protocol sequence and network address of the server node. The format is protocol-sequence:network-address. A protocol-sequence is a
character string identifying the network protocols used to establish a relationship between a client and server. There are two choices of protocol sequence, depending on the network address that is
supplied in the binding: ncacn_ip_tcp or ncadg_ip_udp. For the network-address, specify an Internet address using the common Internet address notation. For more
information about this format, see the RPC introduction in the DCE Application Development Reference.
Description
The define cached server command creates knowledge of a server in the local clerk's cache. This command is typically used to manually provide configuration
information to a clerk that cannot automatically configure itself. This is required, for instance, to give the clerk addressing information about a server across a WAN. When the clerk knows about
one server, it can find other servers through referrals.
Privileges Required
You must have w (write) permission to the clerk.
Notes
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
Examples
The following command creates knowledge of the server nrl in the local clerk's cache:
cdscp> define cached server nrl tower ncacn_ip_tcp:16.20.15.25
