ledger_accept

[Source]

The ledger_accept method forces the server to close the current-working ledger and move to the next ledger number. This method is intended for testing purposes only, and is only available when the rippled server is running stand-alone mode.

The ledger_accept method is an admin method that cannot be run by unprivileged users!
