HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 administrator guide

9.6.2 Sending a total update (full synchronization)
If there have been major changes to data, or synchronization attributes are added to pre-existing
Directory Server entries, it is necessary to initiate a resynchronization. Resynchronization is a
total update; the entire contents of synchronized subtrees are examined and, if necessary, updated.
Resynchronization is done without using the changelog. This is similar to initializing or
reinitializing a consumer in replication.
1. Go to the Configuration tab in the Console.
2. Open the Replication folder and expand the appropriate database.
3. Select the sync agreement.
4. Right-click on the agreement or open the Object menu.
5. Select Initialize Full Re-synchronization from the drop down menu.
Resynchronizing will not delete data on the sync peer; it sends and receives all updates and
add any new or modified Directory Server entries; for example, it adds a pre-existing
Directory Server user that had the ntUser object class added.
9.6.3 Sending sync updates in the command line
To send sync updates through the command line, add the nsDS5BeginReplicaRefresh
attribute to the synchronization agreement. For example:
ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -p 389 -h server.example.com
dn: cn=ExampleSyncAgreement,cn=sync replica,
cn="dc=example,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config
changetype: modify
