DTSS re enable

DTSS re enable

According to thread number 694612 (to disable DTSS message on console) i've disable DTSS on my system (net$logicals.com file with net$disable_dtss true)

But... there's no more daylight saving time on my system...

So... i need to re-enable DTSS

What's the best way ?
thanks in advance for all...

Re: DTSS re enable

what version of VMS? If V7.3 or later then you could use the daylight savings time change built in to VMS.

Re: DTSS re enable

Berlioz,

if you want the DTSS functionality of automatic daylight saving time switching and just want to suppress the 'too few servers detected' event messages sent to OPCOM (console and OPERATOR.LOG), just disable them (as also shown in the referenced thread). The suggested way to disable these messages is:

Copy SYS$MANAGER:NET$EVENT_LOCAL.TEMPLATE to NET$EVENT_LOCAL.NCL

Add the following line to the file:

BLOCK EVENT DISPATCHER OUTBOUND STREAM local_stream GLOBAL FILTER -
((NODE,DTSS), too few servers detected)

Issueing this command once via NCL disables these messages in the running system (e.g. after re-starting DTSS).

Re: DTSS re enable

Here is the way we normally restart DTSS :
MC SYSMAN
SET E/C (if you have more than 1 node)
DO MC NCL DISA DTSS
DO MC NCL DEL DTSS
SETPROFILE /PRIVILEDGE=LOG_IO
CONFIG SET TIME hh:mm:ss
(this being the machine time - not the speaking clock)
DO @SYS$STARTUP:DTSS$STARTUP
EXIT
This is as long as your startup files are still in place.

Re: DTSS re enable

Terry,

mostly okay with that, but why would you do a CONFIG SET TIME, if immediately after that enable DTSS, which sets the time to be synchronised with your time provider?

fwiw,

Re: DTSS re enable

There is much information here
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/faq/vmsfaq_004.html#time4

However I was refering to the new System parameter AUTO_DLIGHT_SAV (OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3 and later which is documented here

Re: DTSS re enable

Jan,
this example comes from a vax 4000 series machine that uses vms 6.2 - it works as proven very recently) - so don't knock it !
We haven't had any problems on out vms 7.x machines to prove whether it works on them or not.
Happy Christmas
Yours Terry.

Re: DTSS re enable

Berlioz,

from your forum profils:

I have assigned points to 27 of 92 responses to my questions.

Maybe you can find some time to do some assigning?

Mind, I do NOT say you necessarily need to give lots of points. It is fully up to _YOU_ to decide how many. If you consider an answer is not deserving any points, you can also assign 0 ( = zero ) points, and then that answer will no longer be counted as unassigned.
Consider, that every poster took at least the trouble of posting for you!

Proost.

Have one on me.

Re: DTSS re enable

If you ar running OVMS 7.3-2 you should use the sys$manager:UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM for managing the dst. For this to work you will have to apply the VMS732_TDF-V0200 patch. This patch will fix some problems with UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM
Also you should add the line DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC NET$DISABLE_DTSS "YES" in sylogicals
