Description

The rpcprofile object represents an RPC profile entry in the Cell Directory Service. Each operation described below takes one argument which names the RPC profiles to be acted upon. An RPC profile consists of members (also known as elements in other DCE documentation) which can be either RPC server entries, RPC groups, or other RPC profiles; therefore, each member of a profile has a name in the DCE namespace. Each profile can also have one member which is the default member of the profile (called the default profile element).

A profile entry contains no attributes, but it does contain information about each member, which is not contained in the member itself. The information stored for each member includes up to four fields of information consisting of interface and version, a member name, a priority (0 through 7), and an annotation. For example:

{d46113d0-a848-11cb-b863-08001e046aa5 2.0} /.../my_cell.goodcompany.com/sec 0 rs_bind}

Various rpcprofile object commands have options that correspond to the fields of information contained in profile members. Specifically, the options are -interface, -member, -priority, and -annotation.
