Sets the current replicator position. When using this option, the -seqno, -epoch, -event-id, and -source-id options must be specified to set the corresponding values in the replicator.

For example:

shell> dsctl set -seqno 22 -epoch 22 -event-id "mysql-bin.000014:0000000000005645;-1" -source-id tr-11
Service "alpha" datasource "global" position was set to: seqno=22 epoch_number=22 »
    eventid=mysql-bin.000014:0000000000005645;-1 source_id=tr-11

When used with the -reset, the datasource is reset before the set operation:

shell> dsctl set -seqno 17 -epoch 11 -event-id "mysql-bin.000082:0000000014031577;-1" -source-id "ubuntu" -reset
Service "alpha" datasource "global" catalog information cleared
Service "alpha" datasource "global" position was set to: seqno=17 epoch_number=11 » 
    eventid=mysql-bin.000082:0000000014031577;-1 source_id=ubuntu

Adding the -reset option to the dsctl get -ascmd command also adds the option to the generated command:

shell> dsctl get -ascmd -reset
dsctl set -seqno 17 -epoch 11 -event-id "mysql-bin.000082:0000000014031577;-1" -source-id "ubuntu" -reset
