#4 DA to Write Services to a File

[Anonymous]

If the Directory agent wrote Service Registrations to a
file (as well as memory) then when the SLPD is stopped
and started if it reads the Service Registration file
there is no worry about the services seeing the
DA_Advert any service still valid would be put into
cache. This would give the added benefit of being able
to look at the Service Registration file while the
service is running to see what the current
Registrations are. (Agreed that SLPTOOL works well for
this, but for the stopping/starting of the service
there REALLY needs to be a way to "read" in all the
services that WERE valid when the SLPDA service is
stopped...

Is'nt this implemented in 1.0.9?

In the Novell Docs from eDirectory 8.7.3:

Qoute: "When a directory agent comes up, it reads its cache
from persistent storage (generally a hard drive)"

This is resolved now with the DABackup functionality that is now in place. Not sure when that was added but some of these parameters apply:

net.slp.isDABackup = true
net.slp.DABackupInterval = 900
net.slp.DABackupLocalReg = true

These are valid (or nearly shipped) as of Novell OES 2 SP2 so not sure where they are in the OpenSLP code.
