Examining Startup Messages
During startup, WindchillDS displays some information about replication. These messages are also written to the server.out log. The following are sample messages you might see.
[25/May/2012:13:44:58.829 -0500] category=SYNC severity=NOTICE msgID=15138878
msg=Replication is up and running for domain cn=admin data with replication
server id 19468 host1/192.168.11.186:8989 - local server id is 27305
- data generation is 138072 [25/May/2012:13:45:01.814 -0500] category=SYNC
severity=NOTICE msgID=15138878
msg=Replication is up and running for domain o=ptc with replication server id 19468
host1/192.168.11.186:8989 - local server id is 29597 - data generation is 8425
These messages indicate that replication is up and running and also provide the data generation value, sometimes called the generation ID. If the generation ID values for a baseDN are the same across all servers, all servers should be successfully replicating data. If the generation ID values are different across different servers, then some servers will be blocked from replicating data and will need to be synchronized. For repair, refer to the Servers no longer in synch section found in Recovery.
