      DEFINE  DIRECTORY  directory-name .

1  –  Parameters

1.1  –  directory-name

    Specifies the directory you are creating.

2  –  Description

    The DEFINE DIRECTORY command creates a CDO repository directory.

    DEFINE DIRECTORY evaluates the directory name you supply to
    determine if it is a logical name. If the directory name is a
    logical name, CDO translates it. If the translation is not a
    valid name for a directory, CDO does not create the directory.

    CDO automatically creates any directories in the path name of the
    directory-name parameter that do not already exist.

3  –  Examples

    1.CDO>  DEFINE DIRECTORY NODE::DISK1:[BOB.DICT]TOP.

      In this example, the DEFINE DIRECTORY command creates
      a directory called TOP under the repository anchor
      NODE::DISK1:[BOB.DICT].

      Or, you can define the directory TOP by setting default to
      the repository anchor DISK1:[BOB.DICT] then issuing the DEFINE
      DIRECTORY command.

    2.CDO>  DEFINE DIRECTORY DISK1:[BOB.DICT]PERSONNEL.EMPLOYEES.BENEFITS.

      In this example, the DEFINE DIRECTORY command creates the
      BENEFITS directory three levels below the CDO repository anchor
      DISK1:[BOB.DICT].

      Oracle CDD/Repository will create the intermediate directories
      if they do not already exist.
