Test the configuration

About this task

If the create-sync-pipe-config tool was not used to create the synchronization configuration, two properties must be verified on each endpoint: proxy-server and use-changelog-batch-request. The proxy-server property should specify the name of the proxy server. The use-changelog-batch-request property should be set to true on the Sync Source only. The use-changelog-batch-request property is not available on the destination endpoint.

The PingDataSync connection parameters (hostname, port, bind DN, and bind password) are required.

Steps

The following commands check the properties on a Sync Source.

On the Sync Source:

$ bin/dsconfig --no-prompt \
  get-sync-source-prop \
  --source-name "Ping Identity Proxy 1" \
  --property "proxy-server" \
  --property "use-changelog-batch-request"

On the Sync Destination:

$ bin/dsconfig --no-prompt \
  get-sync-source-prop \
  --source-name "Ping Identity Proxy 2" \
  --property "proxy-server"

From the server root directory, run the dsconfig command to set a flag indicating that the endpoints are PingDirectoryProxy servers:

$ bin/dsconfig --no-prompt \
  set-sync-source-prop \
  --source-name "Ping Identity Proxy 1" \
  --set proxy-server:ldap-west-01 \
  --set use-changelog-batch-request:true

$ bin/dsconfig --no-prompt \
  set-sync-source-prop \
  --source-name "Ping Identity Proxy 2" \
  --set proxy-server:ldap-east-01

Run the resync --dry-run command to test the configuration settings for each Sync Pipe and debug any issues.
```
$ bin/resync --pipe-name "Ping Identity Proxy 1 to Ping Identity Proxy 2"
--dry-run
```

Run realtime-sync set-startpoint to initialize the starting point for synchronization.

$ realtime-sync set-startpoint --end-of-changelog \
  --pipe-name "Ping Identity Proxy 1 to Ping Identity Proxy 2" \
  --port 389 \
  --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" \
  --bindPassword password

For synchronization through proxy deployments, the --change-number option cannot be used with the realtime-sync set-startpoint command, because PingDataSync cannot retrieve specific change numbers from the backend directory servers. Use --change-sequence-number, --end-of-changelog, or other available options.

Run the resync command to populate data on the endpoint destination server if necessary.

$ bin/resync --pipe-name "Ping Identity Proxy 1 to Ping Identity Proxy 2"
\
  --numPasses 3

Run the realtime-sync start command to start the Sync Pipe.

$ bin/realtime-sync start \
  --pipe-name "Ping Identity Proxy 1 to Ping Identity Proxy 2"

Monitor PingDataSync using the status commands and logs.
