This can't be answered consistently without knowing what this returned value is used for. But I'll try: If you just created an object instance of the DN class without assigning any real DN to it method toString() should return NULL instead of "". > But if the question is : > "How do I represent a DN in a structure when I do a toString() on this > structure", then the answer would be : > - null if the DN member is null I guess with "DN member" you're referring to the class' attribute for storing the DN. So I guess this is the case I described above. > - "" if the DN does not hold any value. I doubt that this is right or maybe I misunderstood "does not hold any value". Again: "" refers to the rootDSE or is the root naming context in search requests with scope!=base. If you pass "" to any other method (e.g. for a modify request) then it has a specific meaning (e.g. modifying the rootDSE). Well, not being a Java programmer I will stay out of further discussion because I don't know what's common in the Java world. Ciao, Michael.

hyc(a)OpenLDAP.org writes: > slapindex.8 1.28 -> 1.29 > Document truncate mode Please clarify the doc of this. I mean, I had no idea slapindex had a non-truncate mode. Does slapindex by default not delete old indexes, or does is mean something else? When should one _not_ use truncate mode? -- Hallvard

ITS#5069, syncrepl on demand
by Howard Chu 21 Nov '07

Another approach that may be worthwhile would be to add the list of queued runqueue tasks to back-monitor. (Currently it only displays runqueue tasks that are actually executing at the time you look.) Then do an ldapmodify on back-monitor to change the scheduled time of the task. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

There's been an ITS for the very out of date one on our site for ages now.

That could be part of the roadmap for 2.4, as there isn't anything for 2.4.x/2.5.x > But I'm not a C programmer. I can only help with > testing. And docs! ;-) It would be much appreciated if anyone would pick up a Overlay and/or backend section. They don't take long. I'm currently working on the Replication sections. Thanks, Gavin.

And a wee note in the Upgrading/Migrating section of the Admin Guide. Saying that, 2.3.x -> 2.4.x will be a slapcat, so maybe no point. Gavin.
