OID 10g conforming replication server and start replicatoin commands

To Ensure the Directory Replication Servers are Started commands

The exact procedure for starting the replication servers depends on whether this is a one-way or a two-way replica.

• For one-way LDAP replication, you must start the replication server at the consumer. Type:
  

  oidctl server=oidrepld connect=connect_string_of_consumer_replica \   
     instance=instance_number_of_consumer_replica  \
     flags= "-p port_of_oid_server_running_at_consumer \
             -h hostname_of_sponsor_replica -m false" start
  
  

  Using the -m false option is recommended when starting the Oracle Internet Directory replication server at the consumer for one-way LDAP replication. It disables conflict resolution for better performance.
• For two-way LDAP replication, you must start the Oracle Internet Directory replication servers at both the sponsor replica and the new replica, as follows:
  
  1. Start or restart the replication server at the sponsor replica. Type:
     

     oidctl server=oidrepld connect=connect_string_of_sponsor_replica \ 
        instance=instance_number_of_sponsor_replica \
        flags= "-p port_of_oid_server_running_at_sponsor_replica 
                -h hostname_of_consumer_replica" start
     
     

  2. Start the replication server at the new replica. Type:
     

     oidctl server=oidrepld connect=connect_string_of_consumer_replica \
         instance=instance_number_of_consumer_replica \
         flags= "-p port_of_oid_server_running_at_new_replica  \
                 -h hostname_of_consumer_replica"
      
     

 

When the replication server is started, it will start to bootstrap the data from the supplier to the consumer. Once the bootstrap has completed successfully, the replication server will automatically change to ONLINE mode to process changes from the supplier to the consumer.
