Hi tbordaz,

I Assume the fix verification for this bug is ::
=================================
1. Create Master-consumer replication with fractional replication.
2. Afetr total init, check on cosumer side, the keep alive entry should not be created
3. Create a dummy entry on master and modify it with filtered updates in fraction replication, till it reaches 100.
4. Now check on consumer, keep alive entry should be there.

Here is what I have done ::
=======================
[root@ipaqa64vml yum.repos.d]# rpm -qa | grep 389
389-ds-base-libs-1.2.11.15-71.el6_7.x86_64

And as soon as I add the replication agreement, It adds the keep alive entry in the consumer server.

Please advice, what is the expected behavior and the verification steps.
Thanks,

Hello Ami,

The described 'fix verification' (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1309962#c4) steps 1 and 3 are IMHO incorrect.

Each instance in the topology (master or consumer) may have created a 'keep alive' entry. The 'cn=repl keep alive 1' is created by the instance with replicaId:1 (here the master). The consumer (replicaId:2) may create a 'cn=repl keep alive 2' entry if it needs to.

The bug was that the consumer (replicaId:2) created the entry 'cn=repl keep alive 2' but the entry was cleared from its changelog and so not replicated. It basically existed only on the consumer.

Step 1 : In IPA all replica are actually masters, I mean can be updated. In the deployement make sure that both master and consumer are nsdsreplicatype: 3 (masters). 

Step 2 : 'cn=repl keep alive 2' should not exist. The notion of master and consumer are said only for the role during initialization, the consumer is also a master (can handle updates) but has been initialized by the 'master'

Step 3: The dummy entry can be created on master or consumer. But the filtered updates must be applied on the consumer. So after you created more than 100 filtered updates on the consumer, the replica will create 'cn=repl keep alive 2'.

Step 4: ok

Hope it will help, do not hesitate to ping me.

thanks

Hi Theirry ,

Thanks for the reply, here are the steps I have followed now::
M1 - 389
M2 - 1389

Both are masters but only one line is missing in M2 agreement i.e. :: "nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh: start" so that only M1 initializes M2 and not vise verse.

On M1 the agreement looks like ::
 ================================
ldapmodify -v -h localhost -p 389 -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 << EOF
dn: cn=ExampleAgreement,cn=replica,cn="dc=example,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config
changetype: add
objectclass: top
objectclass: nsds5replicationagreement
cn: ExampleAgreement
nsds5replicahost: localhost
nsds5replicaport: 389
nsds5ReplicaBindDN: cn=replication manager,cn=config
nsds5replicabindmethod: SIMPLE
nsds5replicaroot: dc=example,dc=com
description: agreement between Master and Slave
nsds5replicatedattributelist: (objectclass=*) $ EXCLUDE mail
nsds5replicacredentials: Secret123
nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh: start

At this point, M1 has created keep alive entry in M2, But M2 has not created any entry in M1 ::
=====================================================
M1 ::
[07/Mar/2016:01:57:58 -0500] NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=ExampleAgreement" (localhost:1389): replay_update: Sending add operation (dn="cn=repl keep alive 1,dc=example,dc=com" csn=56dd2670000100010000)

M2::
[07/Mar/2016:01:57:58 -0500] @A - urp_add (cn=repl keep alive 1,dc=example,dc=com): an entry with this uniqueid already exists.

[root@ipaqa64vml ~]# grep -li "cn=repl keep alive 1" /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-*/errors
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-M1/errors
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-M2/errors
[root@ipaqa64vml ~]# grep -li "cn=repl keep alive 2" /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-*/errors
[root@ipaqa64vml ~]# 

I have executed this script on M2::
================================
Entry added on M2::
$ldapadd -x -h localhost -p 389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123  << EOF
dn: uid=ami,dc=example,dc=com
cn: ams
sn: ams
givenname: ams
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
uid: ami
mail: ams
userpassword: Secret123
EOF

[root@ipaqa64vml export]# cat modify.sh 
CPT=0
while [ $CPT -ne 100 ]
do
        # do this update 'mail' that is not replicated
        # so after more than 100 update, it will create the consumer keep alive entry
        #
        /usr/bin/ldapmodify -x -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 << EOF
dn: uid=ami,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: mail
mail: aamii
EOF
	CPT=`expr $CPT + 1`
done


Which does 100 times modifications on mail attribute which is skipped under fractional replication.
Still I don't see keep alive entry on M1.

PFA for the error logs on both the servers.
Please let me know in case any step in missing or need modification.

Thanks,
Ami

Thanks Thierry for help with reproducing.

Two agreements on M1 and M2, where M2 is initialized by M1, but M1 is not by M2.

3. On M2 Keep alive is created at the time of initialization, but it was not present on M1.

4. After doing 100+ updates on mail attribute on M2, Keep Alive entry got created ::

The number 100 may not be accurate here, but may be entry creation is taking some time.

But as it is not breaking the replication and original reported issues is solved, I am marking this bug as VERIFIED.

Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
