A summary of what I posted below . I have several subordinate databases and
each subordinate database acquires there data via a refreshOnly syncrepl.
Instead of storing the contextCSN on the subordinate database the contextCSN
gets stored on the superior database. As a result the superior databases
contextCSN is the maximum of the subordinate databases. This causes all but
the syncprov server with the latest contextCSN to abort the sync with
"consumer state is newer than provider!"
It seems a configuration option needs to be added that allows storing and
reading of the contextCSN on the subordinate databases as well as the maximum
contextCSN on the superior database.
