dsadmin

• Display or temporarily set the values for the nwcm parameter ds_bindery_context
(to make permanent changes, use nwcm).
• Abort Directory Services client requests.
• Display the active Directory Services tree.
Syntax
dsadmin [-a count] [-b minutes]
[-B bindery_context [;bindery_context]]
[-d ON|OFF|value] [-e ON|OFF][-f [ON] [OFF]]
[-F file name][-i minutes][-j minutes]
[-r ON, nds-version[nds-version|off]
[-s up|down][-t] [-U][-x hours]
[-z]
Option Use to
-a Abort DS client requests that exceed the specified count of
“request being processed” (RBP) retries. Any outstanding DS
client requests that have RBP counters greater than the value
you specify for count are cancelled.
You may need to use this option if a client request is in a loop.
To determine if a client request is looping, use the nwetcinfo
utility. The last parameter reported by nwetcinfo, “Highest
Request Being Processed count current in request table,”
indicates the highest number of consecutive RBP packets
outstanding for any client request. If this number is large (for
example, 10 or more), the request is probably in a loop.
-b Set the interval, in minutes, at which NDS backlink consistency
checking is performed.
-B Sets the NDS container(s) where bindery services are provided.
Multiple contexts are separated by the semicolon character.
