Enabling Replication (Change Log) Dialog

The replication wizard helps you to enable replication on a suffix or promote or demote the role of an enabled suffix. If it is not already configured, this dialog will prompt you for a path in which to store the change log required for hub and master replicas.

Hub and master replicas use the change log to store updates to suffix content before it is replicated to their consumers. Replicas of different suffixes on the same server share the same change log. Therefore, if you later need to delete or move the change log file, all consumers of replicas on your server will need to be reinitialized.

Data changes will be stored in the following disk location. Enter the full path of a directory on the server host machine, or click Browse to select a location. The Browse button is unavailable if you are not running the Directory Server console on the same host as your server.

The change log directory should be located on a disk with enough space for your intended change log size. The default change log directory is:

Solaris 9 platform

/var/ds5/slapd-serverID/changelogdb

Other platforms

/usr/sunone/servers/slapd-serverID/changelogdb

Further configuration of the change log is possible on the Replication tab of the Data node of the top-level Configuration tab.

Enter a change log location and click Next to proceed with the next required step.
