No replication conflict resolution control

The No replication conflict resolution control explains its use with the server and provides the results.

Description

When present, a replica server accepts a replicated entry without trying to resolve any replication conflict for this entry. This control can be used by the replication topology extended operation to ensure data consistency between a supplier and a consumer.

Note: If environment variable IBMSLAPD_REPL_NO_CONFLICT_RESOLUTION is set on a replica, a replica server acts as if all the update requests that coming from the suppliers are specified with this control. The replica accepts the replicated entries without attempting to resolve any replication conflicts. This environment variable is useful in a network topology in which one supplier and one or multiple consumers are defined.
