Problem removing referrals in 5.2

Hi.
I've been trying to relocate some data from one set of DS installations to another set, on the same machines--which I did by replicating to the new master, promoting it to hub, adding the new replica, promoting the new master to master, enabling multimaster, then disabling replication from the old master and then taking it down. Everything went fairly smoothly, except I ended up with some strange behavior when changes are being made on the replica--and the only thing I can come up with to explain it is that there are referrals from the connections to the original pair of servers, which will NOT go away permanently.
The master has a referral to the old master, though it shouldn't be using it at all. However, nothing I can do will make this referral go away permanently. If i delete it from the console, directly, it goes away--then comes back either in a matter of minutes, or after a restart. Same if I delete it from the dse.ldif file. I can't find anything else which holds this referral data (including the o=netscaperoot area of the config directory), where it could be reloading every time I restart. Clearly the "Delete" function in the console is pointless since no delete will actually stick.
But I think my problem is on my replica, where I have referrals to two different servers, which may both have been the current master, but while it was on two different ports (btw, I'll point out as well that changing the port the server runs on via the console appears to leave a lot of configs pointing to the original install port, implying it's far from a clean port change). And my best guess as to the strange behavior I'm seeing is that somehow the replica is trying to pass referrals to both server instances, which are actually the same master, and the master is attempting to make the change twice. Which causes problems when you're doing adds and deletes--the first one works fine, but then you get an error that it already exists or that there's no such object.
I even brought back my original master instance and made sure to delete (rather than merely disabling) the original replication agreements, on the theory that only by deleting would the replica know to remove the referral, but that didn't work either. So as it stands, I have 2 bad referrals on 2 instances, and no way I can find anywhere, as to how to remove these referrals without completely replacing the instances. I may end up deciding I need to rebuild the replica anyway, in hopes this will clear up my problems, if I don't get a solution to this behavior very quickly. Getting errors every time you try to access/modify ldap is hardly a desirable state of affairs.
Anyone, help?

I had master:4389 -> replica:4389. I added master:3389 as consumer. I promoted master:3389 to hub and added replica:3389. I promoted master:3389 to master as part of a step-by-step process to verify at each stage things were still working properly. Made master:4389 and master:3389 multimaster. Then either demoted master:4389 to hub or just disabled its replication agreements and shut it down. Then with only master:3389 and replica:3389 left, I changed the ports for both instances to get them back to port 4389.
This left the master, now back to 4389, witha referral to master:4389 which was impossible to delete. And replica, now 4389, with referrals to both master:4389 and master:3389. Deleting the referrals didn't work, obviously.
A little while ago, I returned the new master:4389 to master:3389, and replica:4389 to replica:3389 (as mentioned, there were other references to the port number which didn't change with a console port-number change), brought back the old master:4389, and deleted both of its replication agreements. Referrals weren't automatically removed. Deleted them manually again. They stayed gone... until I restarted the directory servers. Are you claiming the only way to remove a referral to a nonexistent master is to completely turn off replication at the consumer? That seems kind of stupid, considering the whole point of this promotion-demotion thing is to enable smooth and flexible reorganization of your replication architecture--if I have to disable replication in order to do it safely, that seems an extremely questionable requirement, and certainly not one that's advertised anywhere I've been able to find.
And you can't make a server a master without promoting it. If you enable replication as a consumer in order to get the initial data populated from the old master, in order to change it to be a master itself, you are required to promote it to Hub, so it can add changelog configs, etc, and then promote it to be a master. I suppose if somehow I'd had any reason to know the built-in system for manipulating the replication architecture was this screwy, I might have chosen to turn off replication completely (which may or may not have removed the referral to the original master, I have no proof from anything I've done yet that it would work), then enable it again as a master.
But why would I do that? Without some reason to believe things wouldn't work as advertised??

    There are few things you need to make sure before you remove the federation, like permissions, TXT records etc.

  • Problem removing Zombie GS

    Hey all. Having a problem removing Zombie Gunship from my Game Center. Basically, I want to delete my current progress and start over, thanks to my nephew messing up my config.
    So, I've deleted Zombie GS and it prompts me to remove the data and that my progess will be removed from the leader boards. So I do all that, restart it, blah blah blah. After I've reinstalled the app, my old config/progress/money is still there.
    I've emailed the game company and of course no response. So what am I missing or doing wrong? Or is this a situation where I can never start over?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I've got the same problem. I am revisiting the game and I want to start again from scratch but it seems Game Center has other plans for me. Dammit Apple gestapo!

    Hello,
    I've got a problem removing files from CVS :
    - I right-click on the file I want to remove -> Versioning -> Remove
    - The file is removed from local directory, and it appears in "Pending changes" view, on "Outgoing" tab. Its status is "scheduled for removal".
    - When I commit the file in the "Pending Changes" view, and click OK, then nothing happens. The file stay with "scheduled for removal" status, and it is not deleted on CVS server.
    I tried to commit the package or the project, but it's the same thing.
    Files additions and modifications work correctly.
    I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3 Preview version.
    Is this a bug ? Or do I do something wrong ? Is there an other way to solve my problem ?
    Thanks.

    Here is the message displayed in the log window when I remove file (in Versioning menu) :

  • Problem removing focused object from a table

    Hi.
    I have a problem removing a component that is focused from a table. The
    whole row is removed except a single component (JSpinner) in one row.
    My table has three columns, the first two are String fields
    (not editable) and the last is a JSpinner. Since there is no
    Default cell renderer or cell editor for JSpinner I had to
    create them.
    So, if no element of the row is focused then calling the function:
    public void clearTable() {
    setVisible(false);
    dataVector.removeAllElements(); // clear data vector
    setVisible(true);
    works just fine
    but if a spinner in a row is focused them that spinner is left alone "floating" on an otherwise empty table.
    Questions:
    1) Any one has an ideia of what might be the problem?
    2) Do I have to play with Focus to solve this? (hate the idea,
    since always been told to avoid messing with focus, because
    of the problems it normally brings)
    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Rgds,
    Jorge

    The problem is that you need to properly stop the editing operation first.if( myTable.isEditing() ) {
        // If you want to throw away any edits use...
        myTable.getCellEditor().cancelCellEditing();
        // If you want to apply any edits, then end use...
        myTable.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();

    Actually,
    response.addHeader("Expires", "-1");should be enough.
    The browser should then contact the Web server for updates to that page via a conditional If-Modified-Since request. You don't want a cache disabling 'overkill', since you'd still want the page to remain in the disk cache and used in appropriate situations without contacting the remote Web server, such as when the BACK and FORWARD buttons are pressed...
    Anyway, try this first, and if it doesn't solve your problem, add the other cache-disabling headers, as outlined in the previous post.
    If you're using JSP, verify also that your page has
    <%@ page session="true"%>

    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

  • Problem removing files and other issues

    Hello, i have been using Solaris 10 now for almost a week. I am starting to see a lot of flaws in it. I hate to go back to Linux when I have wanted Unix for so long. well here are my problems.
    Removing files from the DIR /export/home/ gives me this error:
    Error "Not on the same file system" while deleting "/export/hom...-1.src.rpm".
    would you like to continue?
    [Skip] [X_Cancel] [Retry]
    I seem to get that error everytime I try to delete a downloaded file, also I am logged in as root. (because I created a user account, assigined the user a group and password and I still can't log in with it)
    I also configure my panel, and add applications like the cd player, and when i reboot my computer, the applications are question marks wich are also dead links.
    I can't set my clock. the timezone seems to be messed up.
    When I reboot my computer or shut it down, it takes longer everytime to boot back up. I have timed it. The computer has passed infant mortality, but it is still young, and runs good. So i am assuming all my hardware is fine. since i have installed the os, I have installed firefox. and I have used firefox. that is about it. I am loggin in as root, so i am extremely carefull with what i do, I just seem to have a new problem with each log in. I am starting to feel like Unix is losing it's special value, but i want to try and fix the problems before giving up, after all, it has been less than a week.
    If you have any information on anything that i babbled on about thank in advance.
