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

To specify or modify transaction batching while the server is running, use the ldapmodify
command line utility to add the nsslapd-db-transaction-batch-val attribute to the
cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config entry.
For more information on the syntax and values of the nsslapd-db-transaction-batch-val
attribute, see HP-UX Directory Server configuration, command, and file reference. For instructions
on using ldapmodify, see “Adding and modifying entries using ldapmodify” (page 112).
16.3 Managing special entries
The cn=config entry in the simple, flat dse.ldif configuration file is not stored in the same
highly scalable database as regular entries. As a result, if many entries, particularly entries that
are likely to be updated frequently, are stored under cn=config, performance will probably
suffer. Although HP recommends that simple user entries not be stored under cn=config for
performance reasons, it can be useful to store special user entries such as the Directory Manager
entry or replication manager (supplier bind DN) entry under cn=config because this centralizes
configuration information.
