DirX Identity Commands

DirX Identity provides the following commands:

  • metacp - Invokes the meta controller. The meta controller is a directory client program that system administrators can use to synchronize directories and manage the entries in a Identity store. This program supports the following objects:

    • ats - Manages the asynchronous transport service

    • ldapargs - Manages service controls associated with an LDAP directory operation

    • meta - Performs directory synchronization operations

    • obj - Manages Identity store entries

    • util - Implements the metacp utilities.

  • metacpdump - Displays the contents of the binary trace log files generated by the meta controller (metacp).

  • metahubdump - Displays the contents of the binary trace log files generated by the Server (IdS-C) (dxmmsssvr.exe and dxmsvr.exe).

The remainder of this section describes the DirX Identity commands and provides command syntax and examples. The metacp command is described first, followed by descriptions of all the objects it supports in alphabetical order. Next, the metacpdump and metahubdump commands are described.

DirX Identity commands in scripts can use the backslash (\) as the line continuation character. In interactive mode, there is no continuation character. Instead, you must continue typing. The line automatically wraps if your characters extend beyond the line end. If you press the Enter/Return key, the information you have typed is sent to the system for processing. You should press the Enter/Return key only when you have typed all information required for the command to process.

The majority of the sample commands in this chapter uses continuation characters and appears as they would appear in a script. The commands are presented this way so that they can be formatted for readability.
