2.3.8.19. nsDS5ReplicaSessionPauseTime

This attribute sets the amount of time in seconds a supplier should wait between update sessions. The
default value is 0. If the attribute is set to a negative value, Directory Server sends the client a message
and an LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error code.

The nsDS5ReplicaSessionPauseTime attribute works in conjunction with the
nsDS5ReplicaBusyWaitTime attribute. The two attributes are designed so that the
nsDS5ReplicaSessionPauseTime interval is always at least one second longer than the interval
specified for nsDS5ReplicaBusyWaitTime. The longer interval gives waiting suppliers a better chance
to gain consumer access before the previous supplier can re-access the consumer.

If either attribute is specified but not both, nsDS5ReplicaSessionPauseTime is set automatically to
1 second more than nsDS5ReplicaBusyWaitTime.
If both attributes are specified, but nsDS5ReplicaSessionPauseTime is less than or equal to
nsDS5ReplicaBusyWaitTime, nsDS5ReplicaSessionPauseTime is set automatically to 1 second
more than nsDS5ReplicaBusyWaitTime.

When setting the values, ensure that the nsDS5ReplicaSessionPauseTime interval is at least 1
second longer than the interval specified for nsDS5ReplicaBusyWaitTime. Increase the interval as
needed until there is an acceptable distribution of consumer access among the suppliers.

Set the nsDS5ReplicaSessionPauseTime attribute at any time by using changetype:modify with
the replace operation. The change takes effect for the next update session if one is already in
progress.

If Directory Server has to reset the value of nsDS5ReplicaSessionPauseTime automatically, the value
is changed internally only. The change is not visible to clients, and it is not saved to the configuration file.
From an external viewpoint, the attribute value appears as originally set.

2.3.8.20. nsDS5ReplicatedAttributeList

This allowed attribute specifies any attributes that are not replicated to a consumer server. Fractional
replication allows databases to be replicated across slow connections or to less secure consumers
while still protecting sensitive information. By default, all attributes are replicated, and this attribute is not
present. For more information on fractional replication, see the "Managing Replication" chapter in the
Directory Server Administrator's Guide.

Parameter

Description

Entry DN

cn=ReplicationAgreementName, cn=replica,
cn=suffixDN, cn=mapping tree, cn=config

Valid Range
Default Value
Syntax

DirectoryString

Example

nsDS5ReplicatedAttributeList: (objectclass=*) $
EXCLUDE salary userPassword manager

2.3.8.21. nsDS5ReplicaTimeout

This allowed attribute specifies the number of seconds outbound LDAP operations waits for a response
from the remote replica before timing out and failing. If the server writes Warning: timed out
waiting
messages in the error log file, then increase the value of this attribute.

Find out the amount of time the operation actually lasted by examining the access log on the remote
machine, and then set the nsDS5ReplicaTimeout attribute accordingly to optimize performance.

Parameter

Description

Entry DN

cn=ReplicationAgreementName, cn=replica,
cn=suffixDN, cn=mapping tree, cn=config

Valid Range

0 to maximum 32-bit integer value (2147483647)
in seconds

Default Value

600
