Name search methods and order
The Name search methods and order field is used to
select the method and relative order by which node
names (specified in the DSLINE command and the
NetIPC IPCDest or IPCLookup intrinsics) will be
resolved into network addressing information. This
addressing information is contained in a structure
called a path report.
The search order will be checked against the
capabilities of the node and search methods will be
ignored if they are not appropriate for the node. If all
choices fail (or are omitted), the network will attempt to
resolve the address using the domain name resolver.
The available search methods are as follows:
0 = Choice Omitted. Enter a 0 if you want
to omit one or more of the name search
methods. If you enter 0s in all three
fields, all three choices are omitted. In
this case, the network will try to
resolve the address using the domain
name resolver.
1 = Network directory. Enter a 1 to
specify that the network should
attempt to resolve the address via a
search of the network directory.
2 = Probe. Enter a 2 to indicate that the
network should attempt to resolve the
address using the probe protocol.
3 = Probe proxy. Enter a 3 to indicate
that the network should attempt to
resolve the address via the network
directory configured on the proxy node,
if a proxy node exists.
Default value: 2, 3, 1 (Probe, Probe Proxy, Network
Directory)
Range: 0–3
