NAME

synchronize - Causes the DTS entity to synchronize the clock on the system where the command is entered. 

SYNOPSIS

dtscp synchronize [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. The following values are valid:

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

trueThe clock is abruptly set. 

DESCRIPTION

The synchronize command causes the DTS clerk or server to solicit time intervals from servers, compute the intersection of the time intervals, and adjust the system clock to the midpoint of the computed time interval.  This command overrides the functions of the synchronization hold down characteristic. 

Privilege Required

You must have write permission on the ACL associated with the DTS entity in order to execute the command. 

NOTES

The synchronize command does not execute if the entity is already synchronizing or is disabled; the entity must be in the on 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 initiate a synchronization for the entity, followed by a gradual clock adjustment:

dtscp> synchronize

     2.The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization for the entity, followed by an abrupt reset of the clock:

dtscp> synchronize set clock true
