NAME

enable - 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 Distributed Time Service (DTS) entity is created with the dtscp create command, it is still in a nonfunctioning state.  To put it into operation, you must invoke dtscp enable, which causes an immediate synchronization to take place.  When the command is executed, the status attribute state is set to on. 

In addition, you may use the enable command to activate a DTS entity that has previously been deactivated with the disable command.  See the disable(8dts) reference page for more information. 

Privileges 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

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

EXAMPLES

     1.The following command enables the entity and adjusts the clock gradually to the computed time following the first synchronization:

dtscp> enable

     2.The following command enables the entity and abruptly sets the clock to the computed time following the first synchronization:

dtscp> enable set clock true
