1 – Characteristics
o acting courier role
Default: noncourier Value: courier or noncourier
Specifies whether a backup courier is currently functioning
as a courier. If the role is noncourier, then the node is not
attempting to synchronize with global servers.
o advertisement interval
Default: 0-01:30:00.000 Value: 0-00:00:30.000-99-99:99:99.999
Specifies the amount of time between a server's advertisement
broadcasts.
o check interval
Default: 0-01:30:00.00 Value: 0-00:00:30.000-99-99:99:99.999
Specifies the amount of time between checks for faulty servers.
Applicable only to servers that have external time-providers.
o clock adjustment rate
Specifies the rate at which the DECdts server or clerk entity
adjusts the node's clock during a synchronization.
o courier role
Default: noncourier Value: See following description.
Specifies a server's interaction with the set of global servers.
backup courier The local server becomes a courier if none are
available on the LAN.
courier The local server synchronizes with the global set
of servers.
noncourier The local server does not routinely synchronize
with the global set of servers.
o DNA Version
Specifies the Distributed Network Architecture version to which
the DECdts software conforms.
o DTSS Version
Specifies the DTSS module/DECdts software version installed on the
node.
o epoch number
Default: 0 Value: 0-255
Specifies the server's epoch number. The change command modifies
this characteristic.
o error tolerance
Default: 0-00:10:00.000 Value: 0-00:00:00.500-99-99:99:99.999
Specifies the maximum separation allowed between the local clock
and the computed time before synchronizations become abrupt rather
than gradual (monotonic).
o global directory
Specifies the full name of the DECdns directory that contains the
list of DECdts servers that belong to the global set.
o lan timeout
Default: 0-00:00:02.000 Value: 0-00:00:01.000-0-00:05:00.000
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 node sends
three requests before declaring a non-responding server to be
unavailable.
o maximum clock drift rate
Specifies the worst case drift rate of the node's clock, in
nanoseconds per second, as determined by the manufacturer's
specifications.
o maximum inaccuracy
Default: 0-00:01:40.00 Value: 0-00:00:00.0 - 99 99:99:99.99
Specifies the inaccuracy limit for the node. When the node exceeds
the maximum inaccuracy setting, it attempts to synchronize.
o query attempts
Default: 3 Value: 1-10
Specifies the number of attempts that a node makes to contact a
server before the node considers the server unavailable.
o servers required
Default: 3 (servers) Value: 1-32
1 (clerks)
Specifies the minimum number of servers the specified node must
successfully query for time values before it can synchronize.
o synchronization hold down
Default: 0-00:10:00.0(Clerks) Value: 0-00:00:30.0- 01 00:00:00.00
0-00:02.00.0-(Servers)
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.
o time provider present
Default: false Value: True or false
Specifies whether or not the entity used an external time-provider
at the last synchronization. This attribute applies to servers
only.
o time representation version
Specifies the timestamp version (format) used by the installed
DECdts software.
o type
Specifies whether the node is a DECdts server or clerk. The create
command modifies this characteristic.
o wan timeout
Default: 0-00:00:15.000 Value: 0-00:00:01.000-0-00:10:00.000
Specifies the amount of time the node waits for a response to a
WAN synchronization request before sending another request and
declaring a global server to be unavailable. The node sends three
requests before declaring a non-responding global server to be
unavailable.
2 – Counters
o clock settings
Specifies the number of times that the node clock has been set
nonmonotonically (abruptly).
o creation time
Specifies the time at which the DECdts entity was created and the
counters were initialized.
o different epochs detected
Specifies the number of times that the node received time response
messages from servers or clerks that had epoch numbers different
from its own.
o disable directives completed
Specifies the number of times that DECdts has been disabled.
o enable directives completed
Specifies the number of times that DECdts has been enabled.
o epoch changes completed
Specifies the number of times that the server's epoch has changed.
o insufficient resources detected
Specifies the number of times that the node has been unable to
allocate virtual memory.
o invalid messages detected
Specifies the number of times that the local node failed to
process a received message that had an unknown message type or
incorrect length.
o local times not intersecting
Specifies the number of times that the node's time interval failed
to intersect with the computed interval of the servers.
o no global servers detected
Specifies the number of times that the courier server could not
contact any global servers.
o protocol mismatches detected
Specifies the number of times that the local node failed to
process a received message containing an incompatible protocol
version.
o server times not intersecting
Specifies the number of times that a server has detected faulty
servers (other than itself).
o servers not responding
Specifies the number of times that the courier server could not
contact a specific global server.
o synchronizations completed
Specifies the number of times that the node has successfully
synchronized.
o system errors detected
Specifies the number of times a DECdts operation has detected a
system error.
o time provider failures detected
Specifies the number of times that the external time-provider
signaled a failure or the node was unable to access the time-
provider.
o time representation mismatches detected
Specifies the number of times that the local node failed to
process a received message containing an incompatible timestamp
format.
o too few servers detected
Specifies the number of times that a node failed to synchronize
because it could not contact the required minimum number of
servers.
o too many servers detected
Specifies the number of times that the responses to a
synchronization request overflowed the assigned system buffer.
o updates initiated
Specifies the number of times that a server has attempted to
update its clock.
3 – Status
o current time
Specifies the current time on the node.
o last synchronization
Specifies the computed time at the last synchronization.
o state
Specifies the state of the DECdts software.
Off The DECdts process is disabled.
On The DECdts process is enabled.
Synchronizing The DECdts process is synchronizing.
Updating The DECdts process is updating the time.
o uid
Specifies the entity's unique identifier, which is generated when
the entity is created.
