Creating A Replication Agreement - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.02 - ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual

In the Common Settings section, specify a Replica ID (an integer between 1 and
5.
254 inclusive).
You must specify the same replica ID as for the read-write replica that supplies
updates to this replica. The replica ID must be unique for a given suffix.
In the Common Settings section specify a purge delay in the Purge delay field.
6.
This option indicates how often the state information stored in the replicated
entries is purged.
In the Replica Update Settings section, specify the supplier bind DN or entry
7.
DN that the supplier will use to bind to the replica.
This bind DN should correspond to the entry created in Step 2. Note that the
bind DN corresponds to a privileged user, because it is not subject to access
control.
Specify any supplier servers to which you want to refer updates.
8.
By default, all updates are first referred to the supplier servers that you specify
here. If you specify none, updates are referred to the supplier servers that have
a replication agreement that includes the current replica.
You can choose to either add the supplier servers that you specify to the
automatically generated list, or to use the supplier servers that you specify to
replace the automatically generated list of servers.
Click Save to save the replication settings for the database.

Creating a Replication Agreement

This section explains how to create a replication agreement. You must create a
replication agreement on the supplier server for each read-write replica that is
supplied to a consumer server or a hub supplier.
Before you can create a replication agreement, you must:
• Configure supplier settings on the server, as described in "Configuring
Supplier Settings," on page 287.
• Configure replication settings for suppliers, as described in "Configuring a
Read-Write Replica," on page 288.
• Configure replication settings for hub suppliers (if any), and consumers, as
described in "Configuring a Read-Only Replica," on page 289.
