Library /sys$common/syshlp/NCLHELP.HLB  —  Directory Module, DSA  Directives  CREATE
 Use this directive to create a DSA. On completion of this directive,
 the state of the DSA is OFF. You can then create subentities
 of the DSA entity, and manage the attributes of the DSA entity and
 its subentities.

 Syntax:
 	CREATE DSA

 When the DSA is being created, it reads its database into memory.
 If the DSA does not have a database yet, it creates a new one
 automatically.

 DSAs on Tru64 UNIX systems use memory image files instead
 of the snapshot files since V3.0.  The DSA can read and write memory
 image files much faster, especially for large databases.  By default,
 the DSA always reads a memory image file, if a valid one is
 available. If not, it reads a snapshot file, if one is available, or
 creates a new database if not.

 You can use arguments to the CREATE DSA command to specify
 which type of database file you want the DSA to read during
 creation. If you use these arguments, the DSA only attempts to
 read the specified type of database file, and does not fallback
 to the other type or create a new database. See the Arguments
 topic for further details.

 After you have created the DSA for the first time, using the
 CREATE DSA command with no arguments, you must set values for
 the AE Title and Presentation Address attributes of the
 DSA entity. You cannot enable a DSA that does not have these two
 attributes set. This version provides a DSA configuration utility
 that simplifies the setting of these attributes.

 After creation for the first time you are also advised to set the
 Volatile Modifications attribute to TRUE. Refer to the help for
 this characteristic attribute for further details.

 During subsequent DSA creations, the DSA refers to its own database
 and configures itself automatically.
