ZDOMAIN
specifies the domain for the new group. If this field is left null or supplied as all
spaces, the definition of the new group is not replicated. Otherwise, this field
must name a DNS domain currently defined on the local system. Possible errors
referring to this field are:
DNS-ERR-INV-NAME
ZDNS-ERR-NOTFOUND
Tokens in Response Buffer
ZDNS-TKN-OBJNAME
is an object-name token that contains the name of the group added by the
command. This token is present in every response record. ZDNS-TKN-
OBJNAME is described in Section 4 under the heading “Simple Tokens.”
ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE
is the standard SPI return token described in the Distributed Systems Management
(DSM) Programming Manual. This token is present in every response record. If its
value is zero (ZDNS-ERR-NOERR), this token indicates that the name is
successfully added. If ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE is not zero, the name is not added.
Where a non-zero return code is present, the response buffer may contain one or
more error lists. Even if the return code is zero, the response may still contain
error lists that describe warnings.
ZSPI-TKN-ERRLIST
is a standard SPI error list, as described in the Distributed Systems Management
(DSM) Programming Manual. The list ends with the token ZSPI-TKN-ENDLIST.
Operational Notes
If the requester does not have DNS write authority, the command is rejected with
ZDNS-ERR-SECURITY.
Members are added to groups using ZDNS-CMD-ALTER with ZDNS-OBJ-
GROUP (see ALTER GROUP command).
