NAME

change - Alters the epoch number and time on the local node

SYNOPSIS

dtscp change epoch integer [time absolute-time]

ARGUMENTS

epoch integer
Specifies the new epoch number, an integer from 0 to 255. This argument is required.

time absolute-time
Specifies a clock setting for the new epoch.  If you do not supply this argument and a value, the server uses the current clock time with an unspecified inaccuracy and initiates a synchronization.  This argument is optional.

DESCRIPTION

The dtscp change command sets the time and changes the epoch of the Distributed Time Service (DTS) server on which it is entered.  Use this command to isolate a server from the rest of the servers in the network before changing the time. 

Permissions Required

You must have w (write) permission on the access control list (ACL) associated with the DTS entity in order to execute the command. 

NOTES

This command is valid only for servers.  The new epoch number you specify must be different from the current epoch number. 

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

EXAMPLES

     1.The following command changes the epoch number:

dtscp> change epoch 1

     2.The following command changes the epoch number and time:

dtscp> change epoch 1 time 1990-11-30-10:58:00.000-05:00I0.000
