Can the customer please run cl-dump.pl ?  We see this type of error pop up now and then, and I want to confirm if the CSN is actually in the replication changelog or not.  

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/configuration_command_and_file_reference/shell_scripts#cl_dump_Dump_and_decode_changelog

Then just grep the output file for that CSN.  


Now if this problem happens again, what would be very useful is getting the RUV's as soon as possible, using something like this, but replacing the parameters values as needed:

# ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=directory manager" -W -b dc=example,dc=com \
  '(&(nsuniqueid=ffffffff-ffffffff-ffffffff-ffffffff)(objectclass=nstombstone))

And also running cl-dump.pl to confirm if that CSN is present or not.

Please, if anyone sees this issue again, please get a replication change log dump (cl-dump.pl), and get the RUV's, as described in Comment #4.

Thanks!

the link is no longer valid, but it seems we can find old DS 10 docs here as pdf (which also means we can't get a link to a specific section):
https://access.redhat.com/sites/default/files/attachments/red_hat_directory_server-10-configuration_command_and_file_reference-en-us.pdf

and under this section:
10.4.2. cl-dump.pl (Dumps and Decodes the Changelog)

however, cl-dump.pl has many options, what is an example syntax?

is this the correct nsuniqueid or how do we derive the nsuniqueid to use?

we simply tried:
# cl-dump.pl -w (hidden) | grep (our long CSN #)
is this OK?

I see we use nsuniqueid from the cl-dump.pl output..

(lol, answering my own questions..)
