CDSA$MDS_INSTALL.EXE 



The mds_install utility is used to create (install) or delete(uninstall) the Module Directory Services database used by CDSA.

This program generally is called by SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$INITIALIZE.COM.

SYNOPSIS 

mds_install [[-s source] [-d dbdest]] [-u]

OPTIONS 


NoteOpenVMS users can specify only the -u option (or nooption). However, the other options are described here for completenessfor users who are accustomed to seeing them on another platform.

-s source Specifies the MDS DLL sourcelocation (not used by OpenVMS).
-d dbdest Specifies the destinationfile specification for the MDS database to be created. This parameteris currently hardcoded on OpenVMS, and should not be changed.
-u Specifies that the operationis an uninstall of MDS, rather than an install. This parameter cannotbe used with the -s and -d parameters.

EXAMPLE 

The following command creates an empty CDSA MDS database.(If it is run against an already existing database, it does nothing.)
