NAME
   add mapping - Adds or replaces server address information in the
                 local endpoint map

 SYNOPSIS

   rpccp add mapping -b string-binding -i interface-identifier
                     [-a annotation-string] [-o object-uuid] [-N]

 OPTIONS

   -b        Specifies a string representation of a binding over which
             the server can receive remote procedure calls. At least
             one binding is required.

             The value has the form of an RPC string binding, without
 	    an object UUID, for example:

                  -b ncadg_ip_udp:63.0.2.17[5347]

             Note that depending on your system, string binding
             delimiters such as brackets ([ ]) may need to be preceded
             by an escape symbol (\) or placed within quotation marks
             (' ' or  " "). Requirements vary from system to system,
             and you must conform to the usage rules of a system.

   -i        Specifies an interface identifier to register with the
             local endpoint map.  An interface identifier is required.
             Only one interface can be added (i.e., registered) in a
             single operation.  The interface identifier has the
             following form:

                  interface-uuid,major-version.minor-version

             The UUID is a hexadecimal string and the version numbers
             are decimal strings, for example:

                  -i ec1eeb60-5943-11c9-a309-08002b102989,1.1

             Leading zeros in version numbers are ignored.

   -a        Specifies a character string comment to be applied to each
             cross product element that is added to the local endpoint
             map. The string can be up to 64 characters long, including
             the NULL terminating character.

             The string is used by applications for informational
             purposes only.  The RPC runtime does not use this string
             to determine which server instance a client communicates
             with, or for enumerating endpoint map elements.

   -o        Defines an object UUID that further determines the
             endpoint map elements that are removed (optional).
             Each add mapping command accepts up to 32 -o options.
             The UUID is a hexadecimal string, for example:

                  -o 3c6b8f60-5945-11c9-a236-08002b102989

   -N        Specifies that existing elements in the local host's
             endpoint map should not be replaced when the new
             information is added.

 DESCRIPTION
   The add mapping command adds to, replaces, or adds server address
   information to the local endpoint map.

   Each element in the local endpoint map logically contains the
   following:

     +  Interface ID, consisting of an interface UUID and versions
        (major and minor)

     +  Binding information

     +  Object UUID (optional)

     +  Annotation (optional)

   This command should be used without the -N option when only a single
   instance of the server in question runs on the server's host. Do not
   use the -N option if no more than one server instance on the host
   ever offers the same interface UUID, object UUID, and protocol
   sequence.

   When local endpoint map elements are not replaced, obsolete elements
   accumulate each time a server instance stops running without
   explicitly unregistering its endpoint map information. Periodically,
   the RPC Daemon (DCED) will identify these obsolete elements and
   remove them. However, during the interval between these removals,
   the presence of the obsolete elements increases the chance that
   clients will receive endpoints to nonexistent servers.  The clients
   will then waste time trying to communicate with these servers before
   giving up and obtaining another endpoint.

   Allowing DCED to replace any existing local endpoint map elements
   (by not specifying -N) reduces the chance of this happening.

   For example, suppose an existing element in the local endpoint map
   matches the interface UUID, binding information exclusive of the
   endpoint, and object UUID of an element this routine provides.  The
   routine changes the endpoint map according to the elements'
   interface major and minor version numbers.

 NOTE
   This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and
   may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLES

   The following command operates from the system prompt to add a map
   element to the local endpoint map. The command adds the map element
   that contains the specified interface identifier, server address
   (specified as a string binding), and object UUIDs.

      $ rpccp add mapping -i ec1eeb60-5943-11c9-a309-08002b102989,1.1 \
              -b ncadg_ip_udp:63.0.2.17[5347]    \
         -o 005077d8-8022-1acb-9375-10005a4f533a \
         -o 001bc29a-8041-1acb-b377-10005a4f533a \
         -a 'Calendar version 1.1'
      $

   The previous command adds the following elements:

   interface ID
             ec1eeb60-5943-1169-a309-08002b102989,1.1

   string binding
             ncadg_ip_udp:63.0.2.17[5347]

   objects   005077d8-8022-1acb-9375-10005a4f533a
             001bc29a-8041-1acb-b377-10005a4f533a

   annotation
             Calendar version 1.1
