15.14. Removing the Changelog
The changelog is a record of all modifications on a given replica that the supplier uses to replay these modifications to replicas on consumer servers (or suppliers in the case of multi-supplier replication).
If a supplier server goes offline, it is important to be able to delete the changelog because it no longer holds a true record of all modifications and, as a result, should not be used as a basis for replication. A changelog can be effectively deleted by deleting the log file.
15.14.1. Removing the Changelog using the Command Line
To remove the changelog from the supplier server:
- Verify whether replication is disabled for all suffixes:
# dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://supplier.example.com replication list There are no replicated suffixes - Remove the changelog:
# dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://supplier.example.com replication delete-changelog
15.14.2. Removing the Changelog using the Web Console

- Open the Directory Server user interface in the web console. See Section 1.4, “Logging Into Directory Server Using the Web Console”.
- Select the instance.
