This document covers the following topics:


Description

Program

B06170

Function

Add members to a shared cabinet or delete them from a shared cabinet.

Utility Parameters

Parameter Format Description
Shared Cabinet Name A8  
Member (Cabinet Name) A8  
DeleProfiletion Flag A1  
  A1  

The program requires the Shared-cabinet-name to/from which the members are to be added/deleted. If the shared cabinet does not exist, the program terminates.

The Shared-cabinet-name needs to be coded only once. The other parameters can be coded as often as desired (i.e. equal to the number of new cabinets to be added).

If a period (.) or empty line is coded, the procedure will stop.

Procedure

Add a Member

The member must be a valid cabinet defined to Con-nect. A member cannot be added to a shared cabinet more than once. The Deletion-flag must not be set and the Profile must have one of the following two values:

1: member will use profile of shared cabinet

2: member will use own profile

Delete a Member

If a member is to be deleted from the shared cabinet, the Deletion-flag must be set and the Profile must be left blank.

Note:
Each shared cabinet has one associated system distribution list to enable the users to send messages to all users of that cabinet. This list is updated each time members are added to or deleted from a shared cabinet.

Batch Example

Cabinets A1 and A2 are to be added as members of the shared cabinet SHR. A1 will use the shared cabinet profile, and A2 its own profile. At the same time, member D1 is to be deleted. This would be coded as follows:
