Sun Microsystems 8190994 manual Replication Configuration Attributes, Change Log Attributes

Migrating Configuration Data Manually

The Netscape Root database has been deprecated in Directory Server 6.0. If your old instance made specific use of the Netscape Root database, the attributes under o=netscaperoot must be migrated. Otherwise, they can be ignored.

Replication Configuration Attributes

Before migrating replication configuration attributes, ensure that there are no pending changes to be replicated. You can use the insync command to do this.

In addition to the configuration attributes, all entries under cn=replication,cn=config must be migrated. You must manually update the host and port on all replication agreements to the new instance, as well as the path to the change log database (nsslapd-changelogdir).

The following sections list the replication configuration attributes that must be migrated:

Change Log Attributes

TABLE 3–1Change Log Attribute Name Changes

Old Attribute Name	Directory Server 6.0 Attribute Name
nsslapd-changelogmaxage	dschangelogmaxage
nsslapd-changelogmaxentries	dschangelogmaxentries

In addition, these attributes must be moved from cn=changelog5,cn=config to cn=replica,cn=suffixname,cn=mapping tree,cn=config entries (for each suffix name).

Fractional Replication Configuration Attributes

If your topology uses fractional replication, the following attribute names must be changed.

TABLE 3–2Fractional Replication Attribute Name Changes

Old Attribute Name	Directory Server 6.0Attribute Name
dsFilterSPType == fractional_include	dsReplFractionalInclude
dsFilterSPType == fractional_exclude	dsReplFractionalExclude

Replica Configuration Attributes

The values of the following replica configuration attributes must be migrated:

ds5ReferralDelayAfterInit

nsDS5Flags

nsDS5ReplicaBindDN
