HP UX Red Hat Direry Server Software manual Initializing Consumers, Removing the Changelog

Moving the Changelog to a New Location

9.1. Removing the Changelog

To remove the changelog from the supplier server, do the following:

1.In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.

2.Select the Replication Agreements folder in the left navigation tree and then the Supplier Server Settings tab in the right pane.

3.Clear the Enable Changelog checkbox. This deletes the changelog.

4.Click Save.

5.Restart the Directory Server.

6.Reinitialize the consumers, as in Section 10, “Initializing Consumers”.

NOTE

If the changelog is removed, the consumer servers must be reinitialized.

9.2. Moving the Changelog to a New Location

To delete the changelog while the server is still running and continuing to log changes, simply move the changelog to a new location. By moving the changelog, a new changelog is created in the specified directory, and the old changelog is deleted. Changing the location of the changelog requires consumer reinitialization.

10. Initializing Consumers

Once a replication agreement is created, the consumer must be initialized; that is, the data must be physically copied from the supplier server to the consumer servers. This section first describes consumer initialization in detail and then provides instructions on the two different methods for initializing consumers.

NOTE

Replication will not begin until the consumer is initialized.
