 NAME

   dced_server_enable_if - Enables a service (rpc interface) of
                           a specific server on a specific host

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <dce/dced.h>

   void dced_server_enable_if( dced_binding_handle_t  dced_bh,
                               uuid_t                 *exec_uuid,
                               rpc_if_id_t            *interface,
                               error_status_t         *status );

 PARAMETERS

   Input

   dced_bh
       Specifies the dced binding handle for the srvrexec service
       on a specific host.

   exec_uuid
       Specifies the UUID that dced uses to identify the running
       server.

   interface
       Specifies the RPC interface identifier that represents the
       service to be enabled.  The interface identifier is generated
       when idl compiles an interface definition file.  The interface
       identifier is a structure that contains the interface UUID
       (interface->uuid), and the major (interface->vers_major) and
       minor (interface->vers_minor) version numbers for the interface.

   Output

   status
       Returns the status code from this routine.  This status code
       indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if
       not, why not. The possible status codes are:

            error_status_ok
            db_s_bad_index_type
            db_s_iter_not_allowed
            db_s_readonly
            db_s_store_failed
            dced_s_bad_binding
            dced_s_not_found
            sec_acl_invalid_permission

 DESCRIPTION

   The dced_server_enable_if() routine enables a service (or re-enables
   a previously disabled service) that a specific server provides.
   Management applications use this routine.  A service is represented
   by an RPC interface identifier.

   When a server starts and initializes itself, it typically calls
   the dce_server_register() routine to enable all of its services.
   The services can then be disabled and re-enabled, as needed.  A
   server enables and disables its own services by using
   dce_server_enable_service() and dce_server_disable_service() and
   a management application enables and disables a remote server's
   service using dced_server_enable_if() and dced_server_disable_if().
   The dce_server* routines affect both the RPC runtime and the local
   endpoint map by registering (or unregistering) with the runtime
   and setting a flag for the interface in the the endpoint map as
   enabled (or disabled).  The dced_server_enable_if() and
   dced_server_disable_if() routines affect only the remote endpoint
   map by setting the flag.

   Prior to calling dced_server_enable_if(), the application must
   have established a valid dced binding handle to the srvrexec
   service by calling either dced_binding_create() or
   dced_binding_from_rpc_binding().
