Initializing Consumers Online Using the

To initialize or reinitialize a consumer online, do the following:

1.Create a replication agreement.

2.On the supplier server, on the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.

3.Expand the Replication folder, then expand the replicated database. Right-click the replication agreement, and choose Initialize Consumer from the pop-up menu.

A message opens warning that any information already stored in the replica on the consumer will be removed.

4.Click Yes in the confirmation box.

Online consumer initialization begins immediately. To check the status of the online consumer initialization, open the Summary tab in the Status box. If online consumer initialization is in progress, the status shows that a replica is being initialized.

To update this window, right-click the replicated database icon in the navigation tree, and choose Refresh Replication Agreements. When online consumer initialization finishes, the status changes to reflect this.

For more information about monitoring replication and initialization status, see Section 17, “Monitoring Replication Status”.

10.3. Initializing Consumers Online Using the Command Line

Online consumer initialization can be performed through the command line by adding the nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh attribute to the replication agreement entry. This attribute is absent by default, and it will be automatically deleted once the consumer initialization is complete.

1.Find the DN of the replication agreement on the supplier server that is for the consumer to be initialized. For example:

ldapsearch -h supplier1.example.com -p 389 -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -s sub

-b cn=config "(objectclass=nsds5ReplicationAgreement)"

This command returns all of the replication agreements configured on the supplier in LDIF format. Get the DN of the replication agreement with the consumer to be initialized. This is the replication agreement which will be edited.

2.Edit the replication agreement, and add the nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh attribute:

ldapmodify -h supplier1.example.com -p 389 -D "cn=directory manager" -w password
