Operating Systems AIX How to add the attribute to odm if it contains negative value? Post 302821231 by MichaelFelt on Friday 14th of June 2013 08:27:50 AM

1) I notice a space between the = token and the value hdisk7. This might have influence.
2) What does the simple odmget queries return (something/nothing)
Code:
 $ odmget -q name=hdisk7 CuAt
$ odmget -q attribute=odm_wait CuAt

If neither of these return a value, especially the one you want, then try to understand why it is failing.

Note: you can create a text file to add an attribute using odmadd.

Code:
$ echo "CuAt:\
        name = "hdisk7" \
        attribute = "odm_wait" \
        value = "-1" \
" >myadd.text
$ su root
# odmadd myadd.text

I am wondering if this is really something I would want to do using CuAt as there are other attributes that get updated.

Hope this helps!

OK, I read the infocenter documentation:
Quote:
odm_lock Subroutine

Purpose

Puts an exclusive lock on the requested path name.

Library

Object Data Manager Library (libodm.a)

Syntax

#include <odmi.h> int odm_lock ( LockPath, TimeOut)
char *LockPath;
int TimeOut;
....


Parameters

Item Description LockPath Specifies a string containing the path name in the file system in which to locate object classes or the path name to an object class to lock. TimeOut Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, to wait if another application or method holds a lock on the requested object class or classes. The possible values for the TimeOut parameter are: TimeOut = ODM_NOWAIT The odm_lock subroutine is unsuccessful if the lock cannot be granted immediately.TimeOut = Integer The odm_lock subroutine waits the specified amount of seconds to retry an unsuccessful lock request.TimeOut = ODM_WAIT The odm_lock subroutine waits until the locked path name is freed from its current lock and then locks it.
The define values you specify are for the call to odm_lock() and not meant as an attribute in a ODM record. IMHO, the "LockPath" parameter is the pathname of the classfile (e.g., ${ODMDIR}/CuAt)

Hope this helps!

NAME
remove object - Removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry SYNOPSIS
cdscp remove object object-name attribute-name [= attribute-value] ARGUMENTS
The full name of the object entry. The name of a particular attribute. Specify only one attribute at a time. See the cds_attributes file for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses. The value of a particular attribute. The value of an application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute. DESCRIPTION
The remove object command removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of an object entry. If you do not specify a value, the command removes the entire attribute. This command can delete attributes created by the add object and set object commands. Usually, this task is performed through the client application. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide for more information about attributes. Privilege Required You must have write permission to the object entry. NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE. EXAMPLE
To remove the value ps from the attribute printcap of an object entry named /.:/mlh/deskprinter, follow these steps: Read the cds_attributes file to check that the attribute printcap is listed, as shown in the following display: OID LABEL SYNTAX 1.3.22.1.3.50 printcap char Enter the following command to remove the value ps from the attribute printcap. cdscp> remove object /.:/mlh/deskprinter printcap = ps RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: add object(1m), list object(1m), set object(1m), show object(1m) Books: OSF DCE Administration Guide remove object(1m)
