NAME
show - Displays current information about the DTS entity
SYNOPSIS
dtscp show attribute-group | attribute-name
ARGUMENTS
The name of an attribute group or individual attribute to be displayed. The following values are valid: all all characteristics all coun-
ters all status global servers local servers The name of a specific attribute from the characteristics, counters, or status group. The
attribute specifiers global servers and local servers do not contain any other attributes.
DESCRIPTION
The show command displays the names and values of the specified attributes or attribute groups. For attribute groups, if you do not supply
a group name with the all argument, all characteristics and their values are displayed. The following sections list names of individual
attributes, categorized by group.
Note that the attributes displayed by the show command might be different, depending upon whether you have requested information about a
server or a clerk.
Characteristics
Characteristic arguments can contain a maximum of 80 characters and are recalculated to a normalized date format. For example:
Input value: 0-0025:10:99.99999999 Result: 1-01:11:39.990
Specifies whether a backup courier is currently functioning as a courier. If the role is noncourier, the node is not attempting to synchro-
nize with global servers. This characteristic is shown only for servers.
Default: noncourier Value: courier or noncourier
Specifies whether automatic changes to the time differential factor are enabled or disabled; the value is determined by the operating sys-
tem.
Default: true Value: true/false
Specifies the amount of time between checks for faulty servers. Applicable only to servers that have external time providers. This charac-
teristic is shown only for servers.
Default: 0-01:30:00.00 Value: 0-00:00:30.000 - 10675199-02:48:05.478
Specifies the rate at which the DTS server or clerk entity adjusts the node's clock during a synchronization.
Specifies the amount of time between system clock ticks. The value is determined by the operating system.
Specifies a server's interaction with the set of global servers. This characteristic is shown only for servers. The local server becomes
a courier if none are available on the LAN. The local server synchronizes with the global set of servers. The local server does not syn-
chronize with the global set of servers.
Default: noncourier
Specifies the DTS software version installed on the node.
Specifies the server's epoch number. The change command modifies this characteristic. This characteristic is shown only for servers.
Default: 0 Value: 0-255
Specifies the maximum separation allowed between the local clock and the computed time before synchronizations become abrupt rather than
gradual (monotonic).
Default: 0-00:10:00.000 Value: 0-00:00:00.500 - 10675199-02:48:05.478 Specifies the amount of time the node waits for a response to a WAN
synchronization request before sending another request or declaring a global server to be unavailable. The number of attempts made to reach
the server is controlled by the query attemps characteristic.
Default: 0-00:00:15.000 Value: 0-00:00:00.000 - 0-00:10:00.000
Specifies the amount of time the node waits for a response to a synchronization request before sending another request or declaring a
server to be unavailable. The number of attempts made to reach the server is controlled by the query attemps characteristic.
Default: 0-00:00:05.000 Value: 0-00:00:00.000 - 0-00:10:00.000
Specifies the Time Differential Factor (TDF), which is the amount of time the server varies from Greenwich mean time (GMT) or Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC).
Default: 0-00:00:00.000 Value: -13-00:00:00 - 13-00:00:00 Specifies the worst-case drift rate of the node's clock, in nanoseconds per sec-
ond, as determined by the manufacturer's specifications.
Specifies the inaccuracy limit for the node. When the node exceeds the maximum inaccuracy setting, it attempts to synchronize.
Default: 0-00:00:00.100 Value: 0-00:00:00.0 - 10675199-02:48:05.478
Specifies the future time at which the time differential factor is automatically changed. The value is determined by the operating system.
Specifies the number of attempts that a node makes to contact a server before the node considers the server unavailable.
Default: 3 Value: 1-10
Specifies a server's ACL entry name; <hostname> represents the name of the system or node that is the server's client. The default setting
is the recommended value. This characteristic is shown only for servers.
Default: /.:/hosts/<hostname>/dts-entity Specifies the security group name for the time servers within the cell.
Default: /.:/subsys/dce/dts-servers
Specifies a server's principal name for authentication purposes; <hostname> represents the name of the system or node that is the server's
client. The default setting is the recommended value. This characteristic is shown only for servers.
Default: /.:/hosts/<hostname>/self
Specifies the minimum number of servers required for a synchronization. Settings of 1 or 2 may cause unreliable computed times.
Default: 3 Value: 1-10
Specifies the interval a node must wait to synchronize. Also specifies synchronization frequency when a node reaches the value specified by
the maximum inaccuracy characteristic.
Clerks:
Default: 0-00:10:00.0 Value: 0-00:00:30.0 - 01 00:00:00.00
Servers:
Default: 0-00:02.00.0 Value: 0-00:00:30.0 - 01 00:00:00.00
Specifies whether or not the entity used an external time provider at the last successful synchronization. This attribute applies to
servers only.
Specifies the timestamp format used by the node.
Specifies whether the node is a DTS server or clerk. The create command modifies this characteristic.
Counters
Specifies the number of times the node clock has been set nonmonotonically (abruptly).
Specifies the time at which the DTS entity was created and the counters were initialized.
Specifies the number of times the node received time response messages from servers or clerks that had epoch numbers different from its
own. This counter is shown only for servers.
Specifies the number of times the DTS has been disabled.
Specifies the number of times the DTS has been enabled.
Specifies the number of times the server's epoch has changed.
Specifies the number of times the node has been unable to allocate virtual memory.
Specifies the number of times that a local server was contacted, but it was not in the dts security group.
Specifies the number of times the node's time interval failed to intersect with the computed interval of the servers.
Specifies the number of times the courier server could not contact any global servers. This counter is shown only for servers.
Specifies the number of times the local node failed to process a received message containing an incompatible protocol version.
Specifies the number of times that a non-local server was contacted, but it was not in the dts security group. This counter is shown only
for servers.
Specifies the number of times the courier server could not contact a specific global server. This counter is shown only for servers.
Specifies the number of times a server has detected faulty servers (other than itself). This counter is shown only for servers.
Specifies the number of times the node successfully synchronized.
Specifies the number of times a DTS operation detected a system error.
Specifies the number of times the external time provider signaled a failure or the node was unable to access the time provider.
Specifies the number of times a dtsd server process initiated contact with a time provider and did not receive the initial response within
the interval specified by local set timeout (the default interval is 5 seconds). This counter is shown only for servers.
Specifies the number of times the local node failed to process a received message containing an incompatible timestamp format.
Specifies the number of times a node failed to synchronize because it could not contact the required minimum number of servers.
Specifies the number of times a server has attempted to update its clock. This counter is shown only for servers.
Status
Specifies the current time on the node.
Specifies the set of global servers known by the node.
Specifies the computed time at the last attempted synchronization.
Specifies the set of local servers known by the node.
Specifies the state of the DTS entity. The DTS entity is disabled. The DTS entity is enabled. The DTS entity is synchronizing. The DTS
entity is updating the time.
Specifies the entity's unique identifier, which is generated when the entity is created. This attribute is shown only for servers.
Privilege Required
You must have read permission on the ACL associated with the DTS entity in order to execute the command.
NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
