3.7.7 dnaRangeRequestTimeout

One potential situation with the Distributed Numeric Assignment Plug-in is that one server begins to run out of numbers to assign. The dnaThreshold atttribute sets a threshold of available numbers in the range, so that the server can request an additional range from the other servers before it is unable to perform number assignments.

The dnaRangeRequestTimeout attribute sets a timeout period, in seconds, for range requests so that the server does not stall waiting on a new range from one server and can request a range from a new server.

For range requests to be performed, the dnaSharedCfgDN attribute must be set.

Parameter	Description
Entry DN	cn=Distributed Numeric Assignment Plugin, cn=plugins, cn=config
Valid Range	1 to the maximum 32-bit integer on 32-bit systems and to the maximum 64-bit integer on
	64-bit systems
Default Value	10
Syntax	Integer
Example	dnaRangeRequestTimeout: 15
