Using specified values

You can test the redirection process by supplying values for requested_service, user_id, and application_name, subject to the following 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 would be directed.

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

snrfck -itestfile -Sdb2 -Ujane -Aisql

where:

db2 is the requested service.
jane is the user ID.
isql is the application name.

You receive the match shown in Table 6-6:

**Table 6-6: 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

The following is displayed:

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:

db2 is the requested service.
ramon is the user ID.
isql is the application name.

You receive the failed entry match shown in Table 6-7:

**Table 6-7: 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

The following is displayed:

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