Managing Database Traits from the Console
This section provides information on how to view basic or detailed database trait
information from the console when needed.
Getting Basic Information
To obtain information about a particular queue or directory from the console, type
list d
,
followed by the name of the directory or queue.
For instance, to obtain information about the WIRES.ALL queue, type:
list d wires.all
Information similar to the following appears:
SRPlo-LIsUGQSXWFiT sortfield purge dis mbox directory
-R-----I---Q-X---- TITLE P4.0 D1 - WIRES.ALL
A trait listing begins with a header line containing the letters SRPlo-LIsUGQSXWFiT; each
letter in the header line represents a particular database trait. In the previous example, the
second letter in the header line (an
R
) stands for the database trait Read-only.
Password button
