Updating a Running Server Using snrfck

Use snrfck to create or update a service name redirection file, validate the file, and send it to a running DirectConnect server.

Using this method allows you to replace the contents of the snrf.tbl file that is read when the server starts, write the contents to disk, and update the memory table so the changes take effect immediately.

  1. Use snrfck to create a new file or to modify the existing file and validate it.
  2. Send the file to the server using: 
    snrfck [-v][-?]|-h] [-t[-oresult]]
 [-Ssvc -Uuser -Aappl] -ifile
    or
    snrfck -c -Ssrv -Uuser -Ppwd ifile
where:

  • -v displays the program version only.

  • -? or -h displays this message.

  • -t tests the update capability.

  • -oresult outputs the file for results of the update test (this has no effect if you do not specify -t).

  • -Ssvc, -Uuser, and -Aappl are optional arguments used to test the redirection search.

  • -ifile indicates the service name redirection file to be tested.

  • -c submits the file to the server srv for an immediate update, using the specified login pwd.

  • -Ssrv indicates the server name.

  • -Uuser indicates the user name.

  • -Ppwd indicates the password for the user name.
