Collecting Data: Read first for all Security Directory Server - REPLICATION issues

Troubleshooting


Problem

MustGather (Collecting Data) documents aid in problem determination and save time resolving Problem Management Records (PMRs). This document helps you collect data for IBM Security Directory Server (formerly IBM Tivoli Directory Server, or ITDS) problems related to replication.

Resolving The Problem


Must Gather Replication information based on Directory Server version:

For all versions of Directory Server the basic items Support needs to begin diagnosing any Replication issues are as follows:

  1. A clear problem description (is this a new setup or a problem with an existing topology).
  2. The ibmslapd.log and ibmslapd.conf files from SDS/TDS instance, in your replication environment.
  3. The current replication agreements and status.
  4. The Directory Server and OS version information.
  5. A description of the intended replication topology.
  6. Additionally we may need to collect ASCII, and / or Binary tracing.

Use the links below to find the Directory Server version specific instructions.
