NAME

enable - Starts the DTS entity on the local node. 

SYNOPSIS

dtscp enable [set clock boolean]

ARGUMENTS

set clock boolean
Specifies whether the clock is abruptly set or gradually adjusted to the computed time. This argument is optional. Valid values for boolean are

falseThe clock is gradually adjusted. This is the default condition. 

trueThe clock is abruptly set. 

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, 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 reference page in this chapter for more information. 

Privilege Required

You must have write permission on the 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 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
