CDS Maintenance Tasks
CDS components, including clerks, servers, and clearinghouses, are largely self-regulating. Except for routine monitoring, CDS requires little intervention for system administration. When intervention is required, CDS provides system administration tools to help you monitor and manage the CDS namespace and CDS servers.
You can use the DCE control program (dcecp) commands described in OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components to create and manage the components of a CDS namespace.
You can also manage CDS by using the CDS Browser utility (cdsbrowser) to view the namespace. The cdsbrowser utility enables you to monitor growth in the size and number of CDS directories in your namespace. You can use the cdsbrowser utility to display an overall directory structure, as well as the contents of directories. The OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components discusses the cdsbrowser utility.
If you have a large organization, you can improve efficiency by having one system administrator responsible for CDS servers and another system administrator responsible for the namespace. You can delegate responsibility for a subtree of the namespace to another administrator by granting access control rights to that person.
For more detailed information on CDS maintenance tasks, see the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components.
