NCLHELP.HLB  —  Directory Module, DSA  Characteristics  DIT Check Interval
 The DIT Check Interval attribute defines how often the DSA
 writes its database to disk.

 When you modify directory entries, the DSA applies the
 modifications to the copy of the database that it holds in memory.
 It also keeps a log of all modifications in an update log file.

 After every DIT check interval, the DSA writes the database to disk.
 It then opens a new update log file for the next interval.

 In the event of a system problem, the DSA can recover its database by
 reading it from disk and applying the changes logged in the most recent
 update log file.

 Syntax:
 	SET  DSA DIT CHECK INTERVAL "<time>"
 	SHOW DSA DIT CHECK INTERVAL

 The full syntax for specifying a time is as follows: DDD-HH:MM:SS

 where DDD is days, HH is hours, MM is minutes, and SS is seconds.
 If you specify more than 366 days, the DSA uses 366 days as its
 DIT check interval. The DSA displays the value you specified if
 you use the SHOW directive.

 The default value is "12:00:00", indicating 12 hours. If you have a
 DSA that handles a lot of modifications, then you might want to
 specify a shorter interval. This prevents the update log file from
 becoming too large.
