Initialize Consumer

Use this dialog box to determine if you want to initialize the consumer when the server creates the replication agreement.

Do Not Initialize Consumer. Select this radio button if you do not want to initialize the consumer immediately or create an LDIF file. If you are replicating a directory with a large number of entries (>10,000), you should select this option. If you do select this option, you need to initialize the consumer manually before replication can occur.

Initialize Consumer Now. Select this if you want the server to initialize the consumer when you finish creating the replication agreement. This is not recommended for databases larger than 10,000 entries.

Create Consumer Initialization File. Select this option if you want the server to export the replicated tree to an LDIF file so you can manually import it to the consumer.

LDIF Filename. If you choose to generate an LDIF file, supply the LDIF filename in the field provided. Click Browse to locate an LDIF file on your machine.
