HP-UX Directory Server Administrator Guide HP-UX Directory Server Version 8.1 (5900-3098, May 2013)

9.6 Sending synchronization updates
Synchronization occurs as frequently as is set in the winSyncInterval setting (for retrieving
changes from the Active Directory domain) or nsds5replicaupdateschedule setting (for
pushing changes from the Directory Server). By default, changes are retrieved from Active Directory
every five minutes, and changes from the Directory Server are sent immediately.
A sync update can be triggered manually. It is also possible to do a full resynchronization, which
sends and pulls every entry in the Directory Server and Active Directory as if it were new. A full
resynchronization includes existing Directory Server entries which may not have previously been
synchronized.
9.6.1 Performing a manual sync update
During normal operations, all the updates made to entries in the Directory Server that need to be
sent to Active Directory are maintained in the changelog, then replayed during an incremental
update.
1. Go to the Configuration tab in the Console.
2. Open the Replication folder and expand the appropriate database.
3. Select the sync agreement.
4. Right-click on the agreement or open the Object menu.
5. Select Send and Receive Updates from the drop down menu.
