VMS Help DCE_CDS, cdscp, show_replica, DESCRIPTION  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

   The show replica command displays the directory-specific attributes
   as well as the per-replica attributes of the specified directory.  If
   you do not supply any attributes, the command displays all attributes
   and their values; any application-defined attributes that might exist
   will be included in the output of this command. You can enter one or
   more of the following attributes:

   CDS_AllUpTo
             Indicates the date and time of the last successful skulk on
             the directory.  All replicas of the directory are guaranteed
             to have received all updates whose timestamps are less than
             the value of this attribute.

   CDS_Convergence
             Specifies the degree of consistency among replicas. This
             attribute's value is defined as one of the following:

             low       CDS does not immediately propagate an update.
                       The next skulk distributes all updates that
                       occurred since the previous skulk.  Skulks occur
                       at least once every 24 hours.

             medium    CDS attempts to immediately propagate an update
                       to all replicas.  If the attempt fails, the next
                       scheduled skulk makes the replicas consistent.
                       Skulks occur at least once every 12 hours.

             high      CDS attempts to immediately propagate an update
                       to all replicas.  If the attempt fails (for
                       example, if one of the replicas is unavailable),
                       a skulk is scheduled for within one hour.
                       Skulks usually occur at least once every 12 hours.
                       Use this setting temporarily and briefly, because
                       it uses extensive system resources.

   By default, every directory inherits the convergence setting of its
   parent at creation time. The default setting on the root directory is
   medium.

   CDS_CTS   Specifies the creation timestamp (CTS) of the directory of
             which this replica is a copy.

   CDS_DirectoryVersion
             Specifies the minimum of all the values of the
             CDS_ReplicaVersion attribute on the directory replicas.

   CDS_Epoch A UUID that identifies a particular incarnation of the
             directory.

   CDS_LastSkulk
             Records the timestamp of the last skulk performed on this
             particular replica of a directory.

   CDS_LastUpdate
             Records the timestamp of the last update to any attribute
             of the replica, or any change to the contents of the
             replica, including object entries, child pointers, and soft
             links.

   CDS_ObjectUUID
             Specifies the unique identifier of the directory of which
             this replica is a copy.

   CDS_ParentPointer
             Contains a pointer to this directory's parent in the
             namespace.

   CDS_Replicas
             Specifies the address, UUID, and name of every
             clearinghouse where a replica of this directory is
             located.  This attribute also specifies whether the
             replica in a particular clearinghouse is a master or
             read-only replica.

   CDS_ReplicaState
             Specifies the internal state of a replica. When you create
             or delete a replica, it goes through various states.

   CDS_ReplicaType
             Specifies the replica type of a directory.

   CDS_ReplicaVersion
             Specifies the replica version of a directory.

   CDS_RingPointer
             Specifies the UUID of a clearinghouse containing another
             replica of this directory.  This attribute is written by
             the system and is read-only to users.  It will appear on
             older directories, but not on DCE 1.1 directories.

   CDS_UTS   Specifies the timestamp of the most recent update to an
             attribute of the directory.

   RPC_ClassVersion
             Specifies the RPC runtime software version that can be used
             to import on the directory.

   Privilege Required

   You must have read permission to the directory from which the replica
   is created.
