NCPHELP.HLB  —  SET  OBJECT  ALIAS

1  –  INCOMING option

 Specifies  how  a  particular  object  responds  to  incoming  connect
 requests directed to the alias node  address.  The alias  node address
 is established using the SET EXECUTOR command.  There are two  options
 for ALIAS INCOMING:

     ENABLED     Allows a specified object to receive incoming  connect
                 requests that have been directed  to  the  alias  node
                 address. An object such as PHONE which uses a protocol
                 that depends on multiple links should not be  enabled
                 for ALIAS INCOMING.  By  default,  if  an  alias  node
                 identifier  has  been  specified,  ALIAS  INCOMING  is
                 enabled for all objects except for PHONE.

     DISABLED    Does not allow a specified object to receive  incoming
                 connect requests that have been directed to the  alias
                 node  address.  An  object  whose  resources  are  not
                 accessible clusterwide should not have  ALIAS INCOMING
                 disabled.  If an attempt is  made  to  connect  to  an
                 object that does not have ALIAS INCOMING  enabled, the
                 status message NO SUCH OBJECT is returned.

2  –  OUTGOING option

 Specifies whether a particular object uses the alias  node  identifier
 specified in the SET EXECUTOR command in its outgoing connect  requests
 and other protocols.  Specify either of the following two options:

     ENABLED     Allows a  specified  object  to  use  the  alias  node
                 address in its outgoing connect  requests.  An  object
                 such as PHONE which uses a protocol  that  depends  on
                 multiple links should  not  have  the  ALIAS  OUTGOING
                 parameter enabled.  By default, only the  object  MAIL
                 has ALIAS OUTGOING enabled.

     DISABLED    Does not allow a specified object  to  use  the  alias
                 node address in its outgoing connect requests.
