ZDOMAIN
specifies the default domain for untyped aliases referring to this subsystem
object. If this field is left null, the domain is inherited from the specified
subsystem-object type. If this field is supplied as all spaces, untyped aliases
referring to the object, by default, do not have their definitions replicated. If
neither is the case, this field must contain the name of a domain defined on the
local system. Possible errors referring to this field are:
ZDNS-ERR-INV-NAME
ZDNS-ERR-NOTFOUND
ZEXT
takes a value defaulting from the specified subsystem-object type, if this field
is left null. If this field contains -1, ZNAME is added as an untyped alias for
the object. If this field contains 0 (zero), ZNAME is not added as an untyped
alias. A possible error referring to this field is:
ZDNS-ERR-INV-BOOLEAN
Tokens in Response Buffer
ZDNS-TKN-OBJNAME
is an object-name token that contains the name of the subsystem object 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 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.
