DDNS Server Administrator Help

Open Boot File Window

Use the Open Boot File Window to specify the path and name of the boot file for the configuration you want to open.

Note:

When you save the configuration, the boot file will be saved in the NAMEDB subdirectory in the directory specified by the ETC environment variable, even if it is opened from another directory. If the boot file read in contains a directory statement, the directory specified is incorporated into the path names for the appropriate files and the directory statement is removed. Any bogusns, check-names, include, limit, options, sortlist, stub, or xfrnets statements that are in the boot file when it is read in are written as is, without any validation, when the boot file is saved.

The Open Boot File Window is displayed when you click File, Open on the DDNS Server Administrator Window menu bar.

Note:

You can also use it to open a configuration when the path and name of your boot file are not the default (NAMED.BT or NAMED.BOOT in the NAMEDB subdirectory in the directory specified by the ETC environment variable). In that case, you might want to check for configuration errors after you open the configuration; to do that, click View, Configuration File Errors.

These push buttons are available on the Open Boot File Window
