RDS - Define Remote Directory Server

For static specification, this parameter is available as a keyword subparameter of the NTRPC macro. For dynamic specification, this parameter is available as a keyword subparameter of the profile parameter RPC.

It allows you to define up to 10 remote directory servers. For each remote directory server, you specify up to 5 subparameters.

RDS is specified on the client side only.

Possible settings

server-name The server name (1 - 8 characters). There is no default, the value must be specified.

server-node The server node (1 - 8 characters). There is no default, the value must be specified.

subprogram The name of the subprogram titled CALLNAT, (1 - 8 characters) to be used as interface (default is RDSSCDIR).

logon-indicator

A logon indicator. If nothing is specified, blank is the default.
`L`	The client initiates a Natural logon to the server with the library name of the current library on the client.
blank	No server logon will be executed.
Note for Windows platforms: instead of `L`, check the selection box.

transport-protocol-name

The transport protocol to be used. ACI is the only possible value and the default.

Default setting none Subparameter defaults, see above.

Dynamic specification yes See below.

Specification within session no

For dynamic specification the syntax is as follows.

Using 1 server:

RDS=(server-name,server-node-name,subprogram,logon-indicator,transport-protocol-name)

Using 2-10 servers:

RDS=((server-name,server-node name,subprogram,logon-indicator,transport-protocol-name)(server-name,server-node name,subprogram,logon-indicator,transport-protocol-name)...(server-name,server-node name,subprogram,logon-indicator,transport-protocol-name))
