Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Administrator's Guide
9.1. Removing the Changelog
To remove the changelog from the supplier server, do the following:
1. In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.
2. Select the Replication Agreements folder in the left navigation tree and then the Supplier
Server Settings tab in the right pane.
3. Clear the Enable Changelog checkbox.
This deletes the changelog.
4. Click Save.
5. Restart the Directory Server.
6. Reinitialize the consumers, as in Section 10, “Initializing Consumers”.
NOTE
If the changelog is removed, the consumer servers must be reinitialized.
9.2. Moving the Changelog to a New Location
To delete the changelog while the server is still running and continuing to log changes, simply
move the changelog to a new location. By moving the changelog, a new changelog is created in
the specified directory, and the old changelog is deleted. Changing the location of the
changelog requires consumer reinitialization.
10. Initializing Consumers
Once a replication agreement is created, the consumer must be initialized; that is, the data must
be physically copied from the supplier server to the consumer servers. This section first
describes consumer initialization in detail and then provides instructions on the two different
methods for initializing consumers.
NOTE
Replication will not begin until the consumer is initialized.
