Using the Retro Change Log Plug-In

NOTE
Using the Retro Change Log Plug-In
The retro change log plug-in enables you to configure Directory Server to maintain
a change log that is compatible with the change log implemented in Directory
Server 4.0, 4.1, 4.11, 4.12, and 4.13. Maintaining a retro change log is essential in
deployments where Directory Server coexists with Netscape Meta Directory. You
might also need to maintain a retro change log if you have directory clients that
depend on a Directory Server 4.x style change log.
To use the retro change log plug-in, Directory Server must be configured as a
supplier server in a single-master replication scenario.
When you have configured Directory Server to maintain a retro change log, this
change log is stored in a separate database under a special suffix
The retro change log consists of a single level of entries. Each entry in the change
log has the object class
Table 8-2.

The Directory Server Console will not prevent you from
configuring a database as a read-write replica and enabling legacy
consumer settings. This makes migration easier because you can
configure your Directory Server as you want it to be after the
migration, and activate legacy consumer settings just for the
duration of the transition.
