/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb DCE_DTS, dtscp_commands, change  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 NAME

   change - Alters the epoch number and time on the local node

 SYNOPSIS

   dtscp change epoch integer [time absolute-time]

 OPTIONS

   epoch integer
             Specifies the new epoch number (0-255).
              This argument is required.

   time absolute-time
             Specifies a clock setting for the new epoch. If you do not
             supply this argument and a value, the server uses the
             current clock time with an unspecified inaccuracy and
             initiates a synchronization.  This argument is optional.

 DESCRIPTION

   The change command sets the time and changes the epoch of the DTS
   server on which it is entered. Use this command to isolate a server
   from the rest of the servers in the network before changing the time.

   Permissions Required

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

 NOTES

   This command is valid only for servers. The new epoch number you
   specify must be different from the current epoch number.

   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 change the epoch number:

        dtscp> change epoch 1

    2.  The following example shows how to change the epoch number and
        time:

        dtscp> change epoch 1 time 1990-11-30-10:58:00.000-05:00I0.000
