NAME

       set directory - Changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued attribute of a directory

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp set directory directory-name attribute-name = attribute-value

ARGUMENTS

       The  full  name	of the directory.  The name of a particular attribute.	Specify only one attribute at a time.  See the cds_attributes file
       for the list of attributes and corresponding data types that your application uses.  The value of a particular attribute.  The value of	an
       application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of attribute.

DESCRIPTION

       The set directory command changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued attribute of a directory.  If the attribute does not exist, this
       command creates it.  Usually, this task is performed through the client application.  See the OSF DCE Administration Guide for more  infor-
       mation about attributes.  You can specify an application-defined attribute or the following attributes: Specifies the degree of consistency
       among replicas.	By default, every directory inherits the convergence of its parent at creation time.  The  default  setting  on  the  root
       directory  is  medium.  You can define one of the following for value: CDS does not immediately propagate any updates.  The next skulk dis-
       tributes all updates that occurred since the previous skulk. Skulks occur at least once every 24 hours.	CDS attempts to immediately propa-
       gate an update to all replicas. If the attempt fails, the software lets the next scheduled skulk make the replicas consistent. Skulks occur
       at least once every 12 hours.  CDS attempts to immediately propagate an update to all replicas. If that attempt fails (for example, if  one
       of  the	replicas is unavailable), a skulk is scheduled for within one hour. Background skulks occur at least once every 12 hours. Use this
       setting temporarily and briefly because it uses extensive system resources.  Controls the upgrading of a directory from one version of  CDS
       to  another.  By  modifying  this attribute, you can initiate the upgrading of a directory to a higher version of CDS. Specify the value as
       v.n, where v indicates the major version number and n specifies the minor version number. There is no default.

   Privilege Required
       You must have write permission to the directory.

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLES

       The following command sets a low convergence value on the /.:/mfg directory: cdscp> set directory /.:/mfg CDS_Convergence = low

       The following commands upgrades the directory version on the /.:/host directory: dcecp> directory modify /.:/host -add {CDS_UpgradeTO  1.2}
       -single
       dcecp> directory synchronize /.:/host
