Need to be careful of impact to sync repl...

Comment 6 Jamie Chapman 2021-03-18 13:38:48 UTC

Just to be clear on the requirement here:

Would the customer like the capability to exclude some retro changelog attributes from a search using dsconf or is it something larger ?

For example: sudo dsconf -D "cn=dm" inst01 plugin retro-changelog show --exclattr dontshowme --exclattr dontshowmeeither
