The Top-Level CDS Directory

The following tables describe the namespace entries for /.:, the top-level CDS directory.

Name /.:
CDS Type Directory
Well Known Yes
Description This is the cell root directory. The special character string /.: is a shorthand form of /.../cellname. This directory is replicated in every clearinghouse.

Name /.:/cell-profile
CDS Type Object
CDS Class RPC_Profile
Well Known Yes
Description This is the master default profile for the cell. Ultimately, all other profiles should link to this profile. This profile is created at cell creation and must include the following entry:
LAN-Services-UUID /.../cellname/lan-profile
Note that like all profile entries, only global names can be used. This profile must include interfaces for the Privilege Server, the Registry Server, and the Authentication Server. In multi-LAN cells, this is the profile in which the DTS global set entries are entered.

Name /.:/subsys
CDS Type Directory
Well Known No
Description This directory contains directories for different subsystems in this cell. It contains the dce subdirectory. It is recommended that companies adding subsystems to DCE conform to the convention of creating a unique directory below subsys by using their trademark as a directory name
(/.:/subsys/trademark). These directories are used for storage of location-independent information about services. Server entries, groups, and profiles for the entire cell should be stored in directories below subsys.
