Tokens in Response Buffer
ZDNS-TKN-OBJNAME
is an object-name token that contains the name of the subsystem object that is
altered 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 altered. If ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE is not zero, the name is not altered.
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 which 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.
The DNSCOM command “ALTER SSOBJECT TERM22 UNDER \CORP.$PM,
EXTERNAL ON” passes ZDNS-MAP-ALTER-SSOBJ as follows:
ZNAME = "TERM22 "
ZSSMGR = "\CORP $PM "
ZDOMAIN = null
ZEXT = ZDNS-VAL-EXTERNAL (-1)
