DoBroadcast protocol option [DOBROAD] Next Page

ExtendedName protocol option [ENAME]

Allows you to specify illegal characters in a database server name for SPX.

Usage

SPX (platforms other than Windows XP/200x).

Values

YES, NO

Default

NO

Remarks

According to the Novell standard for legal SAP names, the following characters are not allowed:

\ / : ; , * ? + -

If you start a server named demo-1, the default behavior is to strip out the hyphen (-) and try to start a server demo1. By turning on ExtendedName, the name is left untouched.

This is an SPX port parameter and is only useful when starting a server.

Caution    

Users should be wary of using this option as it is contrary to the SAP standard.

Example

The following command starts a NetWare server with the name demo-1.

load dbsrv10.nlm -x spx(ExtendedName=YES) demo-1
