When Can Priority Sync Fail?
Priority sync can fail under any of the following circumstances:
• Network failure: Priority sync will not store modifications if it is unable to send them to the
remote server in the case of network failure.
• Priority sync queue size reaches its maximum: Priority sync will ignore the changes in the
priority sync queue if the number of entries exceeds the priority sync queue size.
• Failure in schema synchronization: If the schema is not synchronized, priority sync process will
fail.
• Object does not exist on other servers: If the creation of the object is itself not synchronized,
priority sync fails.
• Mixed servers in the replica ring: If you have both eDirectory 8.8 and pre-eDirectory 8.8
servers, priority sync fails.
When priority sync fails because of any of the above reasons, the changes to the critical data are
synchronized through normal synchronization.
