Hi

I have been doing some testing to see how a database(netscapedb) will catch up with replicated changes when the server has been shutdown and/or broken.

 

My test is very basic:

Shutdown master2

Add an entry to netscapedb on master1

Bring up master2

Tail error log for replication messages and check console on master2 for presence of data.

 

I know this is imprecise but my observation has been so far that if master2 was down for a short period of time it will automatically catch up but if it were down for a longer period of time (more than an hour) and I bring it up, new updates are not automatically send. I have to click on send updates in the 389-console for the latest changes to be reflected.

 

Is there more definitive rules that govern when a database will be updated automatically and when the process becomes manual?

 

Best Regards
