Errors in the /users/unison/log/das.log file with "xitemid not unique".

Question

When reviewing /users/unison/log/das.log it is showing errors with
"xitemid not unique":
<P>
DATE = Current date
PID = 12492
DEXOTEK ERRCODE Ox1800B -> ctldap_ItemGetById: ctldap_LDAPEntryGetById
DATE = Current date
PID = 12743
DEXOTEK ERRCODE Ox1800B -> ctldap_LDAPEntryGetById: xItemId not unique
<P>
Also, when comparing the das.log to the directory server access log matching
the timestamp from the error above, you may see errors such as the
following:
[23/Jun/1998:15:45:28 -0700] conn=37 op=66 SRCH base="o=Ace Industries,c=US" scope=2
filter="(nscalxitemid=10000:00257)"
[23/Jun/1998:15:45:28 -0700] conn=37 op=66 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1
[23/Jun/1998:15:45:28 -0700] conn=37 op=67 BIND dn="uid=nuser1,o=Ace Industries,c=US"
method=128 version=3
[23/Jun/1998:15:45:28 -0700] conn=37 op=67 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0
[23/Jun/1998:15:45:28 -0700] conn=37 op=68 SRCH base="o=Ace Industries,c=US" scope=2
filter="(nscalxitemid=10000:*)"
[23/Jun/1998:15:45:28 -0700] conn=37 op=68 RESULT err=4 tag=101 nentries=2
in which an err= 4 is LDAP SIZELIMIT EXCEEDED. This means that the search
resulted in multiple entries with the same ID, so the server does not
know which value to return.
<P>
These log entries might be due to duplicate or multiple nscalxitemid attributes
in a replicated directory server, i.e., each calendar enabled user and resource
is suppose to have a single, unique nscalxitemid attribute.
<P>
An example attribute entry in the LDAP database of user 00257 on
node 10000 would be:
<P>
nscalxitemid: 10000:00257
<P>
To identify these duplicate or multiple nscalxitemid attributes, use the new calendar
server tool, unidsdiff, which can be downloaded from
http://help.netscape.com/business/filelib.html#caltools.
