dts activate

Changes a DTS entity from an inactive state to an active state. The syntax is:

dts activate [dts_server] [-abruptly]

Options

-abruptly
Sets the clock abruptly rather than gradually adjust it to the computed time.

Description
The dts activate operation changes a DTS entity from an inactive state to an active state. The status attribute is changed to enabled. This tells the DTS entity to begin synchronizing. Takes a -abruptly option to determine if the first clock adjustment due to synchronization is an abrupt or gradual one. Returns an empty string on success.

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

Examples
The following example activates a dtsd on the local host.

dcecp> dts activate
dcecp>

The following example activates a dtsd on a remote host named cyclops.

dcecp> dts activate /.:/hosts/cyclops/dts-entity
