Adding lines to a redirection file

You can add lines to the service name redirection file list by specifying the -t option.

When you use this option, snrfck displays the normal redirection file and prompts you to enter new lines consisting of “service,” “user,” “application,” and “assigned_service,” each separated by a tab character. The snrfck utility reads the lines, validates them, adds them to the output file, and displays the amended file.

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

snrfck -itestfile -t -onewfile

where:

-t activates the test or update capability.
-onewfile specifies the output file. To save changes to the redirection file, you must use this option.

If you use -t without using -o, your additions are displayed but not saved.

You receive a file with instructions for adding lines, as shown in the Table 6-8:

**Table 6-8: Redirection file with -t option**
	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:

Enter service name redirection file lines:

service<tab>user<tab>application<tab>assigned_service

end with '.' on line by itself

8:

Then, you add the following lines in response to the prompt (snrfck supplies the line numbers):

8: db2 rachel * svc_db2gen
9: .

The snrfck utility produces a new service name redirection file, as shown in Table 6-9:

**Table 6-9: Redirection file with new line added**
	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:	db2	rachel	*	svc_db2gen
8:	other	*	*	svc_other

The snrfck utility adds the new entry and sorts the file.
