Administration Commands

define_directory_entry

When defining an adjacent node and its LUs, use define_adjacent_len_node instead of de- fine_directory_entry. This enables you to define the node and its LUs with a single command. The define_directory_entry command defines only a single entry, so you need to use multiple commands to define entries for the adjacent node and for its LUs.

You can specify a “wildcard” LU name to match multiple LU names by specifying only the initial characters of the name. For example, the wildcard LU name APPN.LU will match APPN.LUNAME or APPN.LU01 (but will not match APPN.NAMELU).

2.16.1 Supplied Parameters

Parameter name	Type	Length	Default
[define_directory_entry]
resource_name	character	17
resource_type	constant		LU_RESOURCE
description	character	31	(null string)
parent_name	character	17	(null string)
parent_type	constant		ENCP_RESOURCE

Supplied parameters are:

resource_name

Fully qualified name of the resource to be registered. Specify 3–17 type-A characters that consist of a 1–8 character network name, followed by a period, followed by a 1–8 character resource name.

resource_type

Specifies the type of the resource to be defined. Possible values are:

ENCP_RESOURCE

End node (EN) or low-entry networking (LEN) node

NNCP_RESOURCE

Network node (NN)

LU_RESOURCE

Logical unit (LU)

WILDCARD_LU_RESOURCE

Wildcard LU name

The owning control point (CP) on the node must be defined before you can specify an LU or wildcard LU resource type.

description

A text string describing the directory entry. SNAplus2 uses this string for information only. It is stored in the node’s configuration file and returned on the query_directory_entry and query_directory_lu commands.

parent_name

Fully qualified name of the parent resource; for an LU the parent resource is the owning control point and for an end node or LEN node it is the network node server. Specify 3–17 type-A characters that consist of a 1–8 character network name, followed by a period, followed by a 1–8 character parent name.

Do not specify this parameter in the following cases:

•When registering a network node CP.

•When the command is being issued to an end node or LEN node to define an adjacent LEN node CP with which the local node communicates directly.
