DTS Server Attributes

actcourierrole
Specifies a server's acting interaction with the set of global servers. The values are the same as for the courierrole attribute below. The difference between actcourierrole and courierrole is that even when the value of courierrole is backup, there is no guarantee that the courier is acting as a courier unless actcourierrole also specifies backup. The actcourierrole attribute indicates the actual role of the server. The default is courier.

checkinterval
Specifies the amount of time between checks for faulty servers. Applicable only to servers that have external time providers. The default is 0-01:30:00.00, and the range of the possible values is 0-00:00:30.000 10675199-02:48:05.478.

courierrole
Specifies a server's interaction with the set of global servers. Possible values are:

backup
The local server becomes a courier if none are available on the LAN. This is the default.

courier
The local server synchronizes with the global set of servers.

noncourier
The local server does not synchronize with the global set of servers.

epoch
Specifies the server's epoch number. The default is 0, and the range of possible values is 0 to 255. This value may not be changed with the modify command; use the clock set command with the -epoch option to change its value.

provider
Specifies whether or not the entity used an external time-provider at the last successful synchronization. This attribute applies to servers only and may not be set by a user. The value is either yes or no.
