5.4 - Replication

5.4.1 Replication overview

ApacheDS supports both Producer-Consumer and Multi-Producers replication based on the syncrepl specification.

Initial steps

The below initial conditions must be met before configuring the replication in any mode.

• Make sure all the servers are up and running

• Add the configuration of the partition whose data needs to be replicated. For example if we like to replicate the partition dc=apache,dc=org then make sure to configure this partition in all the servers that are configured to replicate. See Adding Partition

Configuring Producer-Consumer replication

Assuming that the Producer is running on localhost at port 10389 and consumer on localhost at port 11997 and we want to replicate the data from partition dc=apache,dc=org

The below configuration must be added in the Consumer server and it should be restarted.
