Diagnosis of replication errors
To identify the source of replication errors, you must
understand the replication topology, know how to monitor replication
status, and view replication logs and messages.
Sample replication topology Use the example of a basic replication topology to set up your replication topology correctly.Replication status You can use the idsldapsearch command to get replication status information. Use the operational attributes to search for various details that can help you monitor the replication status.Viewing replication errors with the Web Administration Tool You can use the Web Administration Tool to view replication updates that were not completed because of errors that occurred during replication. Viewing this information can help you identify the source of your replication problem.Viewing replication errors with the idsldapsearch command You can use the idsldapsearch to display replication errors. Viewing this information can help you identify the source of your replication problem.Lost and found log The lost and found log (lostandfound.log ) archives entries that are replaced because of replication conflict resolution. You can use the log of these entries to recover the data in the replaced entries, if necessary. Write and replicated write messages To identify replication conflicts and related issues, you must understand the difference between write and replicated write messages.ibm-replicaSubentry object class in a replication topology Understanding the behavior of the ibm-replicaSubentry object class (ReplicaSubEntry) in a replication topology can help you identify and troubleshoot replication errors.Command-line utilities to view replication status To determine issues that are related to replication, it is important to view the status of a replication agreement. You can use command-line utilities to view the appropriate operational attributes that are associated with replication.IBMSLAPD_REPL_UPDATE_EXTRA_SECS environment variable You can use the IBMSLAPD_REPL_UPDATE_EXTRA_SECS environment variable to extend the time duration for update operations in replication.
