Description

The dts object represents the dtsd (DTS daemon) process running on a host. The DTS process does not maintain stored data as some other objects. Consequently, the dts object represents the information in and about a process rather than some data stored somewhere as other objects do.

These commands all affect the local dtsd entity by default. If given an argument they can affect a remote DCE 1.1 dtsd. The argument is a single server entry or string binding representing a dtsd that is contacted for the operation. If the _s(dts) convenience variable is set, it is treated as the name of a dtsd to contact for subsequent operations. If either of these methods is used, the specified server is the only server that is contacted in an attempt to complete the operation. The argument on the command line takes precedence over the value of the _s(dts) convenience variable. These commands do not set the value of this variable after completion.

A number of attributes associated with the dts object. All of these can be viewed with the show operation, and many can be changed with the modify operation. Attribute arguments can contain a maximum of 80 characters and are recalculated to a normalized date format. For example, if the input value is 0-0025:10:99.99999999, the result is 1-01:11:39.990.

Timestamps are specified in DTS and ISO formats. They can be specified in both absolute and relative time formats. See the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components for more information.
