Kyle, Before you change the OpenLDAP version to 2.4.215, let me build and submit 2.4.15 ;) Craig ________________________________ From: openldap-software-bounces+worganc=nortel.com(a)openldap.org [mailto:openldap-software-bounces+worganc=nortel.com@openldap.org] On Behalf Of Sean Burford Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 3:03 PM To: openldap-software(a)openldap.org Subject: ldapmodify command line tool results in 'deferring operation: too many executing' [originally sent to wrong list] Hi, During a recent ldapmodify of 1000 records, I got some "deferring operation: too many executing" messages from OpenLDAP slapd 2.3.39. I am surprised by this, since I thought that since ldapmodify waited for the result of each operation nothing would be queued. Could this be caused by there being too many operations in progress across the entire server? This was the ldapmodify command line: ldapmodify -v -H "ldaps://master.example.com" -x -W -D "uid=person,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -c -f file.ldif The ldif only contained OpenLDAPaci attribute deletes that fit this template: dn: cn=host1000.example.com,ou=servers,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify delete: OpenLDAPaci The ldapmodify output looked normal: delete OpenLDAPaci: modifying entry "cn=host1000.example.com,ou=servers,dc=example,dc=com" modify complete delete OpenLDAPaci: modifying entry "cn=host1001.example.com,ou=servers,dc=example,dc=com" modify complete But the logs show the 'deferring operation: too many executing': Feb 24 08:27:54 server slapd[9433]: conn=19226 op=640 MOD dn="cn=host1000.example.com,ou=servers,dc=example,dc=com" Feb 24 08:27:54 server slapd[9433]: conn=19226 op=640 MOD attr=OpenLDAPaci Feb 24 08:27:54 server slapd[9433]: conn=19226 op=640 RESULT tag=103 err=0 text= Feb 24 08:27:54 server slapd[9433]: connection_input: conn=19226 deferring operation: too many executing Feb 24 08:27:54 server slapd[9433]: conn=19226 op=641 MOD dn="cn=host1001.example.com,ou=servers,dc=example,dc=com" Feb 24 08:27:54 server slapd[9433]: conn=19226 op=641 MOD attr=OpenLDAPaci Feb 24 08:27:54 server slapd[9433]: conn=19226 op=641 RESULT tag=103 err=0 text= -- Thanks, Sean Burford -- Thanks, Sean Burford
