Validate Service Name Redirection File Format Using Specified Values

Test the redirection process by supplying values for requested_service, user_id, and application_name.

Testing the redirection is subject to these restrictions:

You must specify values for user_id and application_name.
You can use a null argument for requested_service to allow matching on a null service.

When you supply these values, snrfck displays the sorted entries and the assigned service to which the request is directed.

For example, suppose you use the preceding sample file and enter:

snrfck -itestfile -Sdb2 -Ujane -Aisql

where:

Redirection File with an Entry Match
	requested_service	user_id	application_name	assigned_service
1:	<tab>	root	ksh	svc_ksh
2:	db2	joe	isql	svc_db2a
3:	db2	jane	isql	svc_db2b
4:	db2	sonia	Omni	svc_db2c
5:	db2	ramon	Omni	svc_db2d
6:	db2	sven	*	svc_db2gen
7:	other	*	*	svc_other

You see:

assigned service for (db2,jane,isql): svc_db2b

If the service redirection comparison does not find a match, the value returned for assigned_service is simply the requested_service value.

For example, suppose you use the preceding sample file and enter:

snrfck -itestfile -Sdb2 -Uramon -Aisql

where:

Redirection File with Failed Entry Match
	requested_service	user_id	application_name	assigned_service
1:	<tab>	root	ksh	svc_ksh
2:	db2	joe	isql	svc_db2a
3:	db2	jane	isql	svc_db2b
4:	db2	sonia	Omni	svc_db2c
5:	db2	ramon	Omni	svc_db2d
6:	db2	sven	*	svc_db2gen
7:	other	*	*	svc_other
assigned service for (db2,ramon,isql): db2

You see:

assigned service for (db2,jane,isql): svc_db2b
