Organization Attributes

orgid integer
Used with the create operation to specify the organization identifier for the organization. If this attribute is not set when an organization is created, an organization identifier is assigned automatically. Do not specify the -orgid attribute when creating two or more organizations with the same command. If you do, the second create operation will fail, since the organization identifier is already in use after the first is created. However, the alias and orgid attributes can be specified to create several aliases for an existing organization with one command.

uuid hexadecimal number
Used with the create operation to specify the organization's UUID, a unique internal identifier. Use the UUID attribute only to adopt an orphaned UUID. Normally the UUID for a new organization is generated by the registry. In cases where data exists tagged with a UUID of an organization that has been deleted from the registry, use the create operation to specify the old UUID for a new organization. The UUID specified must be an orphan, that is, a UUID for which no name exists in the registry. An error occurs if you specify a name that is already defined in the registry.

fullname string
Used with the create and modify operations to specify the organization's full name, a name used for information purposes only. The full name typically describes or expands a primary name to allow easy recognition by users. For example, an organization could have a primary name of abc and a fullname of Advanced Binary Corporation. The value is a string. If it contains spaces, it is displayed in quotation marks, on entry, must be enclosed in quotation marks or braces. The fullname attribute defaults to the null string (that is, blank).
