NAME
show profile - Shows the elements of a profile
SYNOPSIS
rpccp show profile profile-entry-name {-d | -a annotation |
-i if-id [-v versions] -m member}
[-r [integer]] [-s syntax] [-u]
OPTIONS
-d Selects the default profile element. With the -d option,
the -a, -i, and -m options are ignored.
Note that the -a option works with the -d option, but do
not use them together.
-a Declares a single annotation field (optional). The -a
option selects only elements containing the specified
annotation. The option is case sensitive.
The -a option works alone or in combination with the -i
or -m options or both; only elements containing all the
specified values are displayed.
Note that the shell supports quotation marks around the
annotation field of profile elements, allowing you to
include internal spaces in an annotation; the control
program does not. To specify or refer to annotations
from within the control program, limit each annotation
to an unbroken alphanumeric string; for example,
CalendarGroup. To refer to annotations from the system
prompt, do not incorporate quotation marks into any
annotation.
-i Selects a specified interface identifier (optional).
Only elements containing that interface identifier are
shown. The interface identifier value has the following
form:
interface-uuid,major-version.minor-version
The UUID is a hexadecimal string and the version numbers
are decimal strings, for example:
-i ec1eeb60-5943-11c9-a309-08002b102989,1.1
Leading zeros in version numbers are ignored.
The -i option works alone or in combination with the -a
or -m options or both; only elements containing all the
specified values are displayed. When the -d option is
specified, the -i option is ignored.
-m Declares a single member name (optional). Only elements
containing that member name are shown.
The -m option works alone or in combination with the -a
or -i options or both; only elements containing all the
specified values are displayed. When the -d option is
specified, the -m option is ignored.
-r Indicates that the show profile operation recurses. If
the member of any element of a profile is also a profile,
its elements are shown. By default, the -r option causes
the show profile operation to recurse until all nested
profiles are expanded; for example, -r shows the elements
of the specified profile and of all nested profiles.
You can limit recursion to one or more levels by
specifying a decimal integer as part of the -r option.
For example, -r 1 shows the elements of the specified
profile and, for element members that are profiles, the
command also shows their elements; then recursion stops.
Without the -r option, only the profile elements in the
specified entry are shown.
-s Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional).
The only value for this option is the dce name syntax,
which is the default name syntax. Until an alternative
name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option
is unnecessary.
-u Updates the local CDS cache copy of name service data
(optional). Name service data is cached locally on each
machine in a cell. If an rpccp inquiry can be satisfied
by data in the local CDS cache, this cached data is
returned. Locally cached copies of name service data
might not include a recent CDS update, however. If the
required data is not available in the local CDS cache,
rpccp goes to a CDS server(s) to retrieve the required
data. rpccp then updates the local CDS cache. Using the
-u option bypasses the local cache, allowing rpccp to go
directly to a CDS server for the inquiry. rpccp then
updates the local CDS cache.
-v Indicates how a specified interface version is used
(optional). If it is used without the -i option, the
-v option is ignored. The possible combinations of
versions for the -v option and their actions are
described in the following table.
________________________________________________
Versions Action
________________________________________________
all The interface version is ignored.
exact Both the major and minor versions
must match the specified versions.
compatible The major version must match the
specified version, and the minor
version must be greater than or
equal to the specified version.
major_only The major version must match the
specified version; the minor ver-
sion is ignored.
upto The major version must be less than
or equal to that specified. If the
major versions are equal, the minor
version must be less than or equal
to that specified.
________________________________________________
If the -v option is absent, the command shows compatible
version numbers.
ARGUMENTS
profile-entry-name
Indicates the name of the target profile. For an entry
in the local cell, you can omit the cell name and specify
only the cell-relative name.
DESCRIPTION
The show profile command shows the elements of a profile in the name
service database. The entry name of the profile is required.
By default, all elements in the profile are shown. You can select
a subset of the elements by specifying the -a, -i, or -m options.
The -r option enables you to show nested profiles.
Privilege Required
You need read permission to the CDS object entry (the target profile
entry). If you use the -r option, you also need read permission to
any nested profiles.
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and
may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The following command operates from the system prompt to show the
cell profile /.:/cell-profile in the local cell:
$ rpccp show profile /.:/cell-profile
The initial DCL command sets up a logical name MOLLY_O_PROFILE,
which represents the user profile /.:/LandS/anthro/molly_o_profile.
The control program commands start the control program and show the
user profile associated with the MOLLY_O_PROFILE logical name, as
follows:
$ define MOLLY_O_PROFILE "/.:/LandS/anthro/molly_o_profile"
$ rpccp
rpccp> show profile MOLLY_O_PROFILE
