Forcing Replication Updates

8.Stop the destination Directory Server if it is running.

service dirsrv stop slapd-example2

9.On the destination server, restore the archives with the bak2db script, using the optional -nparameter to specify the backend instance name. This -nparameter is similar to the -nused with ldif2db and db2ldif. For example:

/usrlib/dirsrv/slapd-example2/bak2db /tmp/archiveDirectory -n userRoot

10.Restart the destination Directory Server. For example:

service dirsrv start slapd-example2

Replication will begin on schedule as soon as the destination server is restarted.

For more information on using these scripts, see the Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference.

11. Forcing Replication Updates

When a Directory Server involved in replication is stopped for regular maintenance, it must be updated immediately when it comes back online. In the case of a supplier in a multi-master environment, the directory information needs to be updated by the other supplier in the multi-master set. In other cases, when a hub or a dedicated consumer is taken offline for maintenance, when they come back online, they need to be updated by the supplier server.

Even if the replication agreements are configured to keep the supplier and consumer servers always in sync, it is not sufficient to bring back up-to-date a server that has been offline for over five minutes. The Always Keep in Sync option means that the server generates a replication operation for every update operation it processes. However, if this replication operation cannot be performed because the consumer is offline, the operation times out after 10 minutes.

NOTE

The procedures described in this section can only be used when replication is already set up and consumers have been initialized.

To ensure that directory information will be synchronized immediately when a server comes back online, use either the Directory Server Console on the supplier server that holds the reference copy of the directory information or a customizable script.
