NAME
url-category - Configures URL categories for URL classification and
filtering
MODULE
sys url-db
SYNTAX
Configure a url-category component within the module using
the syntax shown in the following sections.
CREATE/MODIFY
Each url-category consists of the object name
(/Common/Business_and_Economy), a display-name ("Business and Economy")
which is a more user-friendly category name, and a category number. The
hundreds and thousands of URLs under a url-category are stored in a
database. You can create your own url-category (custom category) and
you can add more URLs to an existing category (recategorization).

DESCRIPTION
Configures a url-category
NOTE: When you create a new url-category, you must provide a display-
name. However, after creation it cannot be changed to another value.
The system will provide a cat-number for your newly created url-
category. The number is an integer greater than 1900. The url-category
you create is considered to be a custom URL category, and so the is-
custom flag will be set to true.
NOTE: The only change you can make to a system provided url-category is
to add one or more URLs to its list of URLs. This is called
recategorization, and the is-recategory flag will be set to true. You
need to do this if the URL does not already exist in the database.
EXAMPLES
create url-category my-own-url-cat display-name "My Own URL Category"
urls add { http://a.url.com http://www.another.url.org }
Creates a new url-category. The new url-category you create is known as
a custom category, as opposed to a system provided url-category. In
this case, you must specify the display-name and at least one URL.
modify url-category my-own-url initial-disposition 4 parent-category 0
Modify the initial-disposition and parent-category in a customized url-
category.
modify url-category Business_and_Economy urls add {
http://www.theneomarxist.com }
Modify a system provided url-category by adding a URL to it. This
action is called recategorization. The url-category is recategorized.
OPTIONS

greater than 1900. This is a read-only attribute.
description

display-name
Specifies a user-friendly name that describes what the URL
category represents. This attribute cannot be changed after
creation.

This flag is set by the system when you create your own URL
category. This attribute is read-only.
