Replace DTSS clock by NTP

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

We have about 100 VMS nodes of which 4 are DTSS local servers and of which 2 are connected to a Hopf clock and thus are global servers.

We want to remove the clocks and use NTP to get the time.

What do I need to do to continue using DTSS but get the correct time using NTP ?

This seems it.

Anyone using this dtss$ntp_provider.c ?

Wim,

one of our customers uses DTSS$NTP_PROVIDER on some of their DTSS servers and then distributes the time using DTSS.

Volker,

Did they need to modify it ? Bugs/pitfalls ?

Wim,

AFAIK, they used the version from

http://antinode.org/dec/sw/dtss_ntp.html

Try it on a test system first...

Hi Wim

we are using dtss$provider_ntp.exe since at least two years. The machines running this image get the time from ntp and distribute this time via DTSS to our OpenVMS Environment. We never had problems with it until now.

Im' on 7.3. Where do I get dtss$provider.h ?

[Volker Halle]

Wim,

try SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DTSS]DTSS$PROVIDER.H

Did you install/configure DECnet-Plus to include DTSS server ?

Volker.

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

Yes DTSS is configured. But no .h file.

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

Don't know why but found the files on 1 system.
