Re: DSA is busy error

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

I note that sluprd development has basically ceased as
we focus energies on LDAP-sync based replication.  I
suggest that those attempting to implement heterogeneous
replication consider adding LDAP-sync provider and
consumer support to their DSAs (or asking their DSA vendor
to provide such support).  LDAP sync is described in
draft-zeilenga-ldup-sync-xx.txt.

Yes.

Then the administrator might never become aware that
replication is stuck due to a busy error.  Administrators
tend to watch the reject file for errors.

I don't believe there is one.

Timing out is not necessarily a good option.
