The State status attribute indicates the current state of a DSA
entity. A DSA may be in one of the following states at any one
time:
- CREATING The DSA has received a CREATE directive,
and is in the process of creating.
- OFF The DSA has either been disabled or just
created. It is unavailable for communication
with applications or other DSAs. It is available
for most management directives.
- ENABLING An ENABLE directive has been issued and the DSA
is making itself available for communication.
It is the transition between the OFF and ON
states.
- ON The DSA has been enabled and is ready for use.
The DSA can now communicate with
applications and other DSAs.
- DISABLING A DISABLE directive has been issued and the DSA
is disabling itself from service. It is the
transition between the ON and OFF states.
- UPDATING The DSA is in the processing of replicating
information with another DSA. The DSA is either
supplying or consuming naming contexts.
