To Reinitialize a Suffix Using the DSCC

This method requires a replication agreement between the supplier and the consumers suffixes. Use this method to reinitialize a single suffix or to reinitialize many small suffixes.

If you are using an earlier version of the Directory Server console, go to the Configuration panel and select the Replication node. Select the suffix you want to initialize in the consumer. Select the replication agreement to the consumer. Right click the agreements and select Initialize consumer now.

1. On the supplier server, log in to DSCC.

2. Click the Directory Servers tab, then click the Suffixes tab.

3. In the Suffixes tab, select the suffix or suffixes that you need to reinitialize.

   Select Initialize Suffix from Data from the drop-down menu.

4. In Step 1, select Initialize Using Existing Replication Agreements.

5. In Step 2, specify the supplier suffix from which you want to copy the data.

6. Verify that the import is complete by checking the errors log of the consumers.
