The opcseldist Utility
The opcseldist utility is a syntax check tool for seldist configuration
files. It can also be used to send a re-configuration request to the
distribution manager process opcdistm.
The opcseldist utility has the following command line options:
❏ -check , which checks the syntax of the specified file
❏ -reconfig, which sends the re-configuration request to opcdistm.
If the syntax of the configuration file is not correct, the opcseldist will
display a list of corresponding errors. If there are errors in a seldist file,
for example, a node group is specified without a file name prefix, and the
file is used to manage distribution, the distribution manager evaluates
the seldist file up to the error. The rest of the file is ignored. This can
result in distribution of more files than intended.
A re-configuration request to opcdistm is accompanied by a request
status message.
