DSView.NLM is a server-centric view of Directory Services that displays only the information that is available in the Directory database on the server on which the NLM is run. This version works on DS.NLM greater than 4.89c for NetWare v4.1 and DS.NLM greater than 5.73 for NetWare v4.11. Menu Option Descriptions: The following information categories may be selected from the main menu: 1. Entry Information View the information about the entries themselves (entries such as, local id, base class, creation time, subordinates, attributes, and attribute values). Navigate through the entries using the "tree" model. For example, go from parent to child or from sibling to sibling. 2. Partition Information Displays the partitions located on the server. 3. Tree (Start at [Root]) Displays the entries, beginning at [Root]. This is a quick way to return to the top of the tree. 4. Attribute Definitions Displays the attributes defined by the schema. 5.
