Modifies characteristics for the specified directory.

 SYNOPSIS

      SET DIRECTORY directory-name characteristic

 Arguments

 directory-name

 The full name of the directory to be modified.

 characteristic

 The name and value of the characteristic to be modified. Specify one
 or more of the following:

 DNS$Convergence [=] value
 DNS$InCHName [=] boolean
 DNS$UpgradeTo [=] v.n

 Description

 This command modifies characteristics for the specified directory.
 You can specify one or more of the listed characteristics to be
 modified. Use a comma to separate characteristics.

 Characteristics

 DNS$Convergence [=] value

 Specifies the degree of consistency among replicas. Specify the
 value argument as one of the following:

 Low            The next skulk distributes all updates that occurred
                since the previous skulk. Skulks occur at least once
                every 24 hours.
 Medium         DECdns attempts to 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           DECdns attempts to propagate an update to all
                replicas. If that attempt fails (for example, if
                one of the replicas is unavailable), a skulk is
                scheduled for within 1 hour. Background skulks will
                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 of the root directory
 is medium.

 DNS$InCHName [=] boolean

 Specifies whether a directory or any of its descendants can store
 clearinghouse names. The boolean argument can be specified as one of
 the following:

 True       The directory or its descendants can store clearinghouse
            names.
 False      The directory or its descendants cannot store
            clearinghouse names. This is the default value.

 DNS$UpgradeTo [=] v.n

 Controls the upgrading of a directory from one version of DECdns to
 another. By modifying this attribute, you can initiate the upgrading
 of a directory to a higher version of DECdns. Specify the value as
 v.n where v indicates the major version number and n specifies the
 minor version number. There is no default.

 ACCESS RIGHTS
 You must have write access to the directory whose attribute you
 intend to modify.
