Re: syncrepl (refreshAndPersist) consumer cannot reconnect after provider

["Jong-Hyuk" <jongchoi@OpenLDAP.org>]

The default behavior of syncrepl consumer is to stop replication thread when
it cannot connect to the provider.

You can configure consumer to retry by specifying a syncrepl directive as
follows:

syncrepl
    ...
    retry="RetryInterval1 RetryNum1 RetryInterval2 RetryNum2 ... "
    ...

For example,

    retry="60 10 300 20"

lets syncrepl consumer retry every 60 seconds for the first 10 times
and then retry every 300 seconds for the next 20 times before stop retrying.

    retry="60 10 300 +"

Here, + means the second retry (with 300 sec interval) will continue until
success for the indefinite number of retries.

This syncrepl directive is yet to be documented in the admin guide.
