This document covers the following topics:
If you add the central directory as application CADMIN in your Con-nect cabinet, you can invoke the central directory from any point in Con-nect.
By default, when you start up the central directory, the values you assigned to the DBID and FNR for the central directory's LFILE parameter (logical file number 160 has been reserved for the central directory file) are used.
Note:
If the DBID and FNR used when starting the central directory is
different to that which are stored in the local Con-nect's directory
synchronization maintenance, the startup values will be used.
If you have not assigned values to the central directory's LFILE parameter, the DBID and FNR defined with the Directory Synchronization Maintenance function are used when starting up the central directory. See Directory Synchronization Maintenance.
If you have not assigned values to either the central directory's LFILE parameter or with the Directory Synchronization Maintenance function, you are unable to start up the central directory.
If the central directory is to be started as a standalone application, the central directory LFILE parameter assignment must be defined in your Natural start up routine. If no LFILE parameter has been assigned, the following start up screen is displayed:

To select a function, you enter any character and press ENTER.
While working with the central directory administration, you may notice several deviations from the regular Con-nect screen. For example, in the upper left corner the current time and immediately below that the name of the central directory you are currently administrating are displayed. In the upper right corner the current date and name of the program are displayed.
The "Position to" field, normally used with Con-nect to scroll through a list of objects, has been replaced with a field such as the following "*_______". This field can be used to enter a start value to reposition the displayed list. It can also be used to specify a display criterion. For example, if you want to display all addressees of type Name from Con-nect node BOSTON, you would enter the following and press ENTER:
14:53 * * * C O N - N E C T 3 * * * 14/02/94
CD Name DAEFCOC Address Data Maintenance OCAP30

The resulting list would display all addresses of addressee type Name originating from node BOSTON, as shown below:

The following start values can be used:
| X < | Display all items equal to and less than this character. This means, if you specify C< in the Addressee column, addressees whose mail ID begins with A through C will be displayed. |
| X > | Display all items equal to and greater than this character. This means, if you specify C> in the Addressee column, addressees whose mail ID begins with C through Z will be displayed. |
| X * | Display all items beginning with this character. This means, if you specify C* in the Addressee column, addressees whose mail ID begins with C will be displayed. |
Note:
The complete node name must always be specified when entering a value
in the Addressee column.
You now have the option of issuing commands which have been assigned PF-keys by either pressing the PF-key, or entering the command in the command line, as shown below.

Note:
Although this section refers to the PF-keys, keep in mind that you
can also issue the same commands in the command line.
Additionally, PF3 is now used not only to exit from the current screen but to also save any modifications you may have made, while PF12 is used to exit and ignore any modifications you may have made.
