Tivoli® Directory Server provides the tombstone feature to record information, such as all the attributes, of a to-be deleted entry into a tombstone subtree before the entry gets deleted from the backend database.
Using the tombstone feature, you can move the to-be-deleted entries to the tombstone subtree, cn=Deleted Objects. Subsequently, the attribute table is updated for the entry to mark the entry as deleted by adding an attribute such as isDeleted.
The tombstone feature is defined by the ibm-slapdTombstoneEnabled attribute in the cn=Directory, cn=RDBM Backends, cn=IBM Directory, cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration entry of the ibmslapd.conf file. Additionaly, the ibm-slapdTombstoneLifetime attribute in the cn=Directory, cn=RDBM Backends, cn=IBM Directory, cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration entry of the configuration file defines the tombstone lifetime. The tombstone lifetime determines the time that deleted entries are retained, the default value being 7 days.
Use any of following methods to enable or disable tombstone-:
