NAME
dce_server_enable_service - Enables an individual service for a
server
SYNOPSIS
#include <dce/dced.h>
void dce_server_enable_service( dce_server_handle_t server_handle,
rpc_if_handle_t interface,
error_status_t *status );
PARAMETERS
Input
server_handle
An opaque handle returned by dce_server_register().
interface
Specifies an opaque variable containing information the runtime
uses to access interface specification data.
Output
status
Returns the status code from this routine. This status code
indicates whether the routine completed successfully. The
only status code is error_status_ok.
DESCRIPTION
The dce_server_enable_service() routine enables an individual
service that a server provides by registering the service's
interface with the RPC runtime, and registering the endpoints in
the endpoint map. If the dce_server_c_no_endpoints flag was set
with the dce_server_register() call prior to callibng this routine,
the endpoints are not registered in the endpoint map.
A server commonly registers all its services with DCE at once by
using the dce_server_register() routine. If necessary, a server
can use the dce_server_disable_service() routine to disable
individual services and then reenable them by using
dce_server_enable_service(). However, suppose a server needs its
services registered in a certain order, or it require application-
specific activities between the registration of services. If a
server requires this kind of control as services are registered,
you can set the server->services.list[i].flags field of the
server_t structure to service_c_disabled for individual services
prior to calling dce_server_register(). Then, the server can call
dce_server_enable_service() for each service when needed.
