-v
Prints messages as it validates attributes provided on the command
line.
The pdmakedb command provides a default value for any option that you
do not specify on the command line. The following examples show how to
use pdmakedb to create spoolers and supervisors. You must create object
databases from the root account. When you need to add users to the ACL,
you can use the methods described in the Section 4.3 of this book.
The following examples demonstrate use of the pdmakedb command:
• To create an object database for a supervisor that uses default attributes,
on system blue, issue the following command from the root account:
# pdmakedb -t SUP
• To create an object database for a spooler that uses default attributes, on
system blue, issue the following command from the root account:
# pdmakedb -t SPL
• To create an Outbound Gateway Supervisor, use the following command:
# pdmakedb -t SUP -n blue_obg
Issuing the previous commands results in the creation of server databases
blue_sup, blue_spl, and blue_obg.
5.1.2 Displaying Object Database Data
Use the pdshowdb command to display the values of all attributes currently
set on the server object. The attributes displayed include both configuration
and nonconfiguration attributes, and internal as well as user-visible
attributes. The command does not change the object database in any way.
The format that pdshowdb uses to display the server object attributes is the
same format used by pdmakedb and pdmoddb with the -voption set.
The pdshowdb command has the following command-line syntax:
pdshowdb [-e] [-h] [-n serverName]
-e
Displays the absolute path of the executable file used to start the server.
-h
Displays a list of the supported options.
