Syntax

ADD -APPN DirectoryEntry [netid.]<resource name> <type(LU|EN|NN| Wild)> [[netid.]<parent_name> <parent_type(EN | NN)>] [[netid.]<grandparent_name> <grandparent_type(NN)>]

DELete -APPN DirectoryEntry [netid.]<resource name> <type(LU|EN| NN|Wild)>

SHow -APPN DirectoryEntry [[netid.]resource name]

No default

Description

The DirectoryEntry parameter preloads an entry into the APPN Directory Cache. In the syntax EN is short for EN Control Point and NN is short for NN Control Point. When deleting wildcard entries, the lu_name must match the wildcard name exactly (that is, LU* will not match LU7*). When you use the SHow command, you display a list of user-configured entries.

Values

netid.	Specifies the net ID of the directory entry. If you specify the net ID, you must type a period immediately following the name, and then the lu_name must immediate follow the period. If you do not specify the net ID, the net ID of the local network node will be used.
<resource name>	Specifies the name of the directory entry resource.
<type>	Specifies the type of node where the directory entry resides. Specify LU if the resource is an LU. Specify EN if the resource is an end node or LEN end node control point. Specify NN for a network node control point. Specify Wild when entering or deleting wildcard entries. If the resource type is not an NN, then it requires a parent (including name and type) in the same command.
<parent_name>	Specifies the name of the parent for the resource.
<parent_type>	Specifies the type of the parent. Specify EN if the parent is an end node or LEN end node control point, or NN if the parent is a network node control point. If the parent type is not an NN, then it requires a grandparent (including name and type) in the same command.
<grandparent_name>	Specifies the grandparent name of the resource.
<grandparent_type>	Specifies the type of the grandparent. The grandparent type must be NN.

Table 20 lists the hierarchy of parents and grandparents required for the different resource types.

Resource Type	Parent	Required Grandparent
NN	none	none
EN/LU/WILD	NN	none
LU/WILD	EN	NN

Example

To add an LU resource named LU22 in which EN22 is the parent and HQ.NNGREEN is the grandparent, enter:

ADD -APPN DirectoryEntry LU22 LU EN22 EN NNGREEN NN
