RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.3.4.0-18.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When multiple replica update vector (RUV) updates were skipped in fractional replication, RUV was not updated at the end of the session, and the next session restarted evaluating the same skipped updates. This update prevents the unnecessary replays.

Description Noriko Hosoi 2015-09-03 21:53:15 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48266

In MMR topology with Fractional replication, the updates are evaluated by the RA to determine if they should be skipped or sent.

During a replication session, if from the starting CSN all the CSNs will be skipped, then the next session will start at the same starting point and will evaluate the same set of already skipped CSN.
This does not prevent fractional replication to work, because the next update to send will increase the consumer RUV (starting point).
But this behaviour should be improve.

However it can create problem, if the set of skipped CSN is large. In that case the supplier takes time to evaluate all of them. During that time it prevent others suppliers to acquire the consumer replica and to send their own updates.
The increasing delay of the backoff timer of the others supplier, will give them less and less chance to send their updates.

Some cases reported delayed replication by more than 1h.
Comment 2 thierry bordaz 2015-09-04 16:33:48 UTC 
 Workaround:

Under extreme condition (if all updates are skipped and the list of them is large) replication can appear to be broken. A workaround is to apply periodic dummy updates on all servers.
Those updates need to be replicated ones (not updating filtered attributes). Periodicity could be 1/h or less, depending on the update rate.

Bug fix introduced a new regression, so marking this bug as ASSIGNED per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1243970#c10 and #c11.
Comment 11 Sankar Ramalingam 2015-09-23 10:04:46 UTC 
Tested with the latest build of 389-ds-base-1.3.4.0-18 build and found no crash for mmraccept tests. Hence, marking the bug as Verified.

The test execution for mmraccept shows 2/67 FAIL which is the same as previous build 1.3.4.0-15.
