Abstract
In association with a data processing system that includes one or more servers, one or more clients and a partitionable distributed directory contained in a database, a computer implemented method is provided for selectively processing data entries that reside in the directory. The method comprises the steps of generating a request to perform an operation on each data entry in a specified group of intended entries, and specifying a hashing control index that uniquely identifies each entry of the specified group, and excludes all other entries. The requested operation is applied only to data entries in the directory that are identified by the specified hashing control index.
