enable(8dts)

Starts the DTS entity on the local node.

Synopsis

dtscp enable [set clock {true | false} ]

Arguments

set clock {true | false}
Specifies whether the clock is abruptly set (true) or gradually adjusted to the computed time (false, the default). This argument is optional.

Description
After the DTS entity is created with the dtscp create command, it is still in a non-functioning state. To put it into operation, you must invoke dtscp enable to synchronize immediately. When the command is executed, the status attribute state is set to on.

In addition, you can use the enable command to activate a DTS entity that has previously been deactivated with the disable command. See the disable reference page for more information.

Privileges Required
You must have w (write) permission on the ACL associated with the DTS entity to execute the command.

Notes
The DTS entity cannot be enabled until it is created with the create command; the DTS entity must be in the off state.

This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

Examples

1. The following example shows how to enable the entity and adjust the clock gradually to the computed time following the first synchronization:

dtscp> enable

2. The following example shows how to enable the entity and abruptly set the clock to the computed time following the first synchronization:

dtscp> enable set clock true
