Repair the synonym and reverse address mapping links for nodes in a
directory service.
REPAIR [DECNET] NODE node-name
[ DIRECTORY_SERVICE dir-service ]
[ REVERSE_DIRECTORY rev-dir-name ]
[ SYNONYM_DIRECTORY syn-dir-name ]
This is used when a node's synonym and reverse address mapping links are
accidentally deleted or otherwise changed to that they no longer map to
the correct node name. To determine whether or not a node's synonym and
reverse address mapping links are correct, use the SHOW command with the
FULL keyword.
1 – NODE
This specifies the name of the node whose links are to be repaired.
NODE node-name
This argument is not used when repairing the Local Naming Database. It
is used only for DECdns.
The node name must be the fully specified name for the node in the
directory service. For example:
For DECdns: NODE MyCo:.Sales.MailHub
Wildcards are allowed in the node name using an asterisk (*). For
example:
For DECdns: NODE MyCo:.Sales.Mail*
The wildcard character can come anywhere in the last part of the name.
Only a single wildcard character is allowed.
The Phase IV database does not require or use synonym or reverse address
mapping links. This command does not apply to this directory service.
2 – DIRECTORY_SERVICE
This specifies the directory service that contains the node whose links
are to be repaired.
DIRECTORY_SERVICE dir-service
The service must be one of:
DIRECTORY_SERVICE LOCAL
DIRECTORY_SERVICE DECDNS
The Phase IV database does not require or use synonym or reverse
address mapping links. This command does not apply to this directory
service.
If not specified, the default service type is used. This default can be
displayed or changed using the SHOW or SET DEFAULT commands.
3 – REVERSE_DIRECTORY
This specifies the base directory or name entry to use when repairing
the reverse address mapping links (also called back translation links).
REVERSE_DIRECTORY rev-dir-name
This argument is not used when repairing the Local Naming Database. It
is used only for DECdns.
The links under this directory are used to map NSAP values to their
respective node names. These directories are used only for the DECdns
directory service.
If not specified, the default reverse directory is used. This default
can be displayed or changed using the SHOW or SET DEFAULT commands.
For more information, please refer to the NAMES_AND_DIRECTORIES topic.
4 – SYNONYM_DIRECTORY
This specifies the base directory or name entry to use when repairing
the synonym mapping link.
SYNONYM_DIRECTORY syn-dir-name
This argument is not used when repairing the Local Naming Database. It
is used only for DECdns.
The links under this directory are used to map Phase IV synonyms to
their respective node names. These directories are used only for the
DECdns directory service.
If not specified, the default synonym directory is used. This default
can be displayed or changed using the SHOW or SET DEFAULT commands.
For more information, please refer to the NAMES_AND_DIRECTORIES topic.
