To Configure Fractional Replication

To configure fractional replication, you must specify the suffix, determine whether to include or exclude attributes on that suffix, then choose which attributes to include or exclude. If you choose to exclude attributes on a suffix, all other attributes are automatically included. Likewise, if you choose to include certain attributes on a suffix, all other attributes are automatically excluded.

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.

1. Configure fractional replication on a replication agreement located on the source server.

   $ dsconf set-repl-agmt-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN consumer-host:consumer-port property:value

   where property is either repl-fractional-exclude-attr or repl-fractional-include-attr.

   For example, if you want to configure a fractional agreement to exclude JPEG and TIFF photos from being replicated on the suffix dc=example,dc=com, use this command:

   $ dsconf set-repl-agmt-prop -h host2 -p 1389 dc=example,dc=com host1:1389 repl-fractional-exclude-attr:jpegPhoto repl-fractional-exclude-attr:tiffPhoto

   To add an attribute to an existing list of attributes that should be excluded, use this command:

   $ dsconf set-repl-agmt-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN consumer-host:consumer-port repl-fractional-exclude-attr+:attribute
