Currently we use iPlanet Directory Server 5.0-SP1(moving to Netscape Dir Svr 6.11 in the future) which acts a supplier to several consumers. The changelog is set to unlimited, and the purge delay for all replication agreements is set to 7 days(the default).
1. Does this mean that if a replication agreement is down (for reasons unrelated to the Dir Svr product.e.g. network connectivity etc..) for a period longer than 7 days, we will need to reinitialize the consumer, since the purge delay is set to 7 days ? If yes, does this also mean that there is no point in having the changelog set to unlimited ? 2. The changelog location is specified in the console, so I can always go and check the size on the UNIX file system. How do I know the storage overhead for the purge delay ? Where is this information stored ? 3. What are the recommendations or best practices etc.. Thanks all.
