The DECNET_LOC_REGISTER utility provides system managers with functions to help manage node names in the DECdns local namespace. These functions aid in: - Creating an initial local name file containing node information to be loaded into the DECdns local namespace. - Recreating the local name file from the names that are currently loaded in the DECdns local namespace. - Getting the full tower sets for node definitions that have only simple addresses defined, by directly querying the indicated nodes. - Loading the information contained in the local name file into the DECdns local namespace, using default tower sets when the real tower set information is not available. - Using the information contained in the local name file to register nodes into a DECdns distributed namespace. - Clearing all names from the DECdns local namespace when its use is no longer necessary. Use the HELP command to obtain information on the functions provided by this utility.
