Agent Synchronization

Use this page to view the synchronization status of your partitions. You can filter the information on this page by selecting from the options listed in the Assistant frame on the left side of the page.

Partition Synchronization Status
Lists the partition, number of errors, last successful synchronization, maximum ring delta, and the replica's perishable data delta.

Partition
For each partition, lists the partition type and links to object information for the partition.

Errors
Lists the number of replicas with errors since the last synchronization.

Last Successful Sync
Lists the amount of time since all replicas of an individual partition were successfully able to synchronize from this server.

Maximum Ring Delta
Lists the amount of data which might not be successfully synchronized to all the replicas in the ring. For example, if a user has changed his or her login script within the past 30 minutes, and the maximum ring delta has a 45-minute allocation, the user's login might not be successfully synchronized, and he or she might get the previous login script when he or she attempts to log in. However, if the user changed his or her login script more than 45 minutes ago, he or she should get the new login script consistently from all replicas.

If Unknown is listed under the Maximum Ring Delta, then the transitive synchronized vector is inconsistent and the maximum ring delta cannot be calculated because of a problem, such as replica/partition operations in progress.

Replica's Perishable Data Delta
Lists the amount of data on the partition which has not been successfully replicated yet and which would be lost if the server went down immediately. For example, if you lost the hard drive where your directory database (DIB) resides, the changes made on this machine in the last time frame x (Perishable Data Delta) have not been replicated to another machine and would be lost from the system as if they had never happened.
