ADD ALIAS
Use the ADD ALIAS command to add an alias profile to the AliasDB file on
the client. The first time you use this command to add an alias profile,
the AliasDB file is created. To display the contents of one or more
alias use the SHOW ALIAS command.
ADD ALIAS can be abbreviated to AA.
To issue this command, you must log on as MANAGER.SYS or have SM
capability.
NETUtil Syntax
netutil=> ADD ALIAS
Alias Name: AliasName
Database Server Type: DBServerType
DBEnvironment Name on Server: DBEnvironmentName
Server Node Name: ServerNodeName
Machine Type: MachineType
Datacomm Type: DatacommType
Parameters
AliasName is the alias name of the DBEnvironment that resides
on the server, to be used by an application of the
client. This name must be unique on the client. The
alias name does not need to be the same as the
DBEnvironment name. It can consist of ASCII 7-bit
characters as well as some 8-bit and 16-bit character
sets (either ASCII or non-ASCII). The alias name
can contain up to 128 characters, it is not
case-sensitive, and is stored and displayed exactly
as it was entered.
The first character of this field cannot be an
asterisk (*).
DBServerType is ALLBASE/SQL, the database management system server
type on the server. (HP SQL is still supported as a
database server type. However, if you enter HP SQL,
NETUtil displays it as ALLBASE/SQL.) The server type
name is not case-sensitive and is stored and
displayed in uppercase characters.
DBEnvironmentName is the fully qualified filename of the DBEnvironment
on the MPE/iX server or the absolute pathname of the
DBEnvironment on the HP-UX server. This name follows
the file naming conventions of the operating system
in which the DBEnvironment resides.
The MPE/iX DBEnvironment name cannot exceed 26
characters in length and is not case-sensitive.
The HP-UX DBEnvironment name cannot exceed 128
characters in length and is case-sensitive.
The DBEnvironment name is stored and displayed
exactly as it was entered.
ServerNodeName is the node name of the server you want to access.
The server node name is not case-sensitive and is
stored and displayed exactly as it was entered.
However, "node" is the same as "NODE" when the SQL
application is running and executes a CONNECT or
START DBE command with an alias name. The name
format is based on the datacommm type.
MachineType [REV BEG]
is the machine type of the server. Enter HP 3000
S900, HP9000 S700, or HP9000 S800. A space is
required between HP3000 or HP9000 and the series
number. The machine type name is not case-sensitive
and is stored and displayed in uppercase
characters.[REV END]
DatacommType is the network service interface you are using. The
datacomm type is either NS or ARPA. The data
communication type name is not case-sensitive and is
stored and displayed in uppercase characters.[REV
BEG] If you are using HP-UX release 10.0 on either
the client or server, ARPA is the only valid
entry.[REV END]
