Last Updated shows the last time this server attempted to communicate with the server and
found out it was down. If this column is not showing, all servers are currently up.
7.4.5 Viewing Replica Information
From the Partitions page, you can view information about the replicas on the server you are
communicating with. You can filter the page by selecting from the options in the Assistant frame on
the left side of the page.
Server Partition Information let you view information about the server's partition, including the
entry ID, replica state, purge time, and last modification time.
Partition let you view information about the partition Tree object on the server.
Purge Time indicates the time when you can remove previously deleted data from the database
because all replicas have seen the deletion.
Last Modification Time lets you view the last-issued time stamp of data written to the database for
the replica. This lets you see if time is in the future and if synthetic time is being used.
Replica Synchronization lets you view the Replica Synchronization Summary page that refers to the
partition. The Replica Synchronization page shows information about the partition synchronization
status and replica status. You can also view lists of partitions and replicas.
7.4.6 Controlling and Configuring the DS Agent
From the Agent Configuration page, you can control and configure the DS Agent. The functionality
you have on this page will depend on the rights of the current identity and the version of eDirectory
you are looking at.
1 In iMonitor, click Agent Configuration .
2 Choose from the following options:
Agent Information let you view the connection information for your server.
Partitions lets you view the replicas on the server you are communicating with.
Replication Filters lets you view the replication filters configured for the specified eDirectory
agent. NDS eDirectory 8.5 (build version 85. xx ) is the first eDirectory version to implement a
feature known as Filtered Replicas. See “Filtered Replicas” on page 54 for more information
on what Filtered Replicas are, why they are used, and how to configure them.
Agent Triggers initiate certain background processes. These triggers are equivalent to using the
SET DSTRACE=* option command.
Background Process Settings modify the interval at which certain background processes run.
These settings are equivalent to the SET DSTRACE=! option command.
Agent Synchronization lets you disable or enable inbound or outbound synchronization. You
can specify in hours the amount of time you want synchronization disabled.
Database Cache lets you configure the amount of database cache used by the DS database
engine. Various cache statistics are also provided to assist you in determining whether you have
an appropriate amount of cache available. Having an inadequate amount of cache might
severely impact your system’s performance.
Login Settings lets you disable the queuing of login updates. You can also increase or decrease
the amount of time between updates if updates are enabled.
