DbEnv::rep_set_clockskew(u_int32_t fast_clock, u_int32_t slow_clock); </pre>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::rep_set_clockskew()</code> method sets the clock skew ratio
among replication group members based on the fastest and slowest
measurements among the group for use with master leases. Calling this
method is optional; the default values for clock skew assume no skew.
The user must also configure leases via the <a class="xref" href="repconfig.html" title="DbEnv::rep_set_config()">DbEnv::rep_set_config()</a>
method. Additionally, the user must also set the master lease timeout
via the <a class="xref" href="repset_timeout.html" title="DbEnv::rep_set_timeout()">DbEnv::rep_set_timeout()</a>
method and the number of sites in the replication group via the
<a class="xref" href="repnsites.html" title="DbEnv::rep_set_nsites()">DbEnv::rep_set_nsites()</a>
method. These methods may be called in any order. For a description
of the clock skew values, see <a href="../../programmer_reference/rep_clock_skew.html" class="olink">Clock skew</a>
in the <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide</em>. For a
description of master leases, see
<a href="../../programmer_reference/rep_lease.html" class="olink">Master leases</a> in the
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide</em>.
</p>
<p>
These arguments can be used to express either raw measurements of a
clock timing experiment or a percentage across machines. For example, if
a group of sites has a 2% variance, then <span class="bold"><strong>fast_clock</strong></span> should be set to 102, and
<span class="bold"><strong>slow_clock</strong></span> should be set to 100. Or,
for a 0.03% difference, you can use 10003 and 10000 respectively.
</p>
<p>
The database environment's replication subsystem may also be
configured using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The
syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string
"rep_set_clockskew", one or more whitespace characters, and the
clockskew specified in two parts: the fast_clock and the slow_clock.
For example, "rep_set_clockskew 102 100". Because the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is
read when the database environment is opened, it will silently
overrule configuration done before that time.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::rep_set_clockskew()</code> method configures a database
environment, not only operations performed using the specified
<a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter 5. The DbEnv Handle">DbEnv</a> handle.

<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::rep_set_clockskew()</code> method may not be called after the

<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::rep_set_clockskew()</code> <span>

exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
