<p>
For best results, you should synchronize the clocks used by all
machines in a replication group. If you are using a time-based
consistency policy, this is an absolute requirement
(see <a class="xref" href="consistency.html#timeconsistency" title="Time Consistency Policies">Time Consistency Policies</a> for more information).
Time synchronization is easily achieved using a mechanism like <a class="ulink" href="http://www.ntp.org/" target="_top">NTPD</a>.
</p>
<p>
In addition, time synchronization is also a requirement for
internal JE HA bookkeeping. For example, JE checks for clock
skew between the Master and a Replica
when the Replica performs its startup handshake with the
Master. This handshake will abort and throw
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentFailureException.html" target="_top">EnvironmentFailureException</a> if the clock skew between the
two machines is greater than the value set for the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationConfig.html#MAX_CLOCK_DELTA" target="_top">MAX_CLOCK_DELTA</a> property. This property can be set using the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationConfig.html#setMaxClockDelta(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)" target="_top">ReplicationConfig.setMaxClockDelta()</a> method, or in the JE
configuration file using the
<code class="literal">je.rep.maxClockDelta</code> property.
</p>
<p>
Finally, well synchronized clocks make it easier to correlate
events in the logging output from different nodes in the group.
