CLI completed, working on UI next...

Few things that we can probably improve:

  • While trying to set up replication with no role and no replica id specified we get a puzzling message

    Failed to set replication configuration
    No object exists given the filter criteria dc=example,dc=com
    
  • While creating any entry which requires password, I think, we shouldn't log the password

    CMD: Creating replication manager: /home/spichugi/src/389-ds-base/src/lib389/cli/dsconf -j ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd-local1.socket replication create-manager --name=cn=repl_m,cn=config --passwd=newpassword123
    
  • Updating Replica entry Advanced Settings doesn't actually update the settings (like nsds5ReplicaTimeout, etc.) But looks like it is a known issue.

  • Replication Managers DataTable isn't cleaned during the page reload. So if we add Replication Manager on instance1 and then we'll go to instance2 configuration, then Replication Managers DataTable will have the Replication Manager from instance1 in the list.

  • Create Replication Agreement form isn't cleaned when we press Create Replication Agreement button. It still has the fields filled with previous agreement data.

  • There is cryptic error message when we try to edit the existed agreement (I wrote wrong hostname and I wanted to fix it):

    Failed to edit replication agreement
    {'desc': 'Operations error'}
    
  • If you first add an agreement, then you try to edit it, and then you try to add another one - it will send you to Edit Replication Agreement form instead of Create Replication Agreement

  • As per documentation, we should initialize the MMR only once from one supplier. If we do so from UI on one instance agreement and then we go to another instance, the status says that the other agreement is not initialized and updates don't work.

  • Is there a way to abort CleanAllRUV Tasks?

That is for now :) Sorry if it's too much

How are you reproducing this error?

CMD: Creating replication manager: /home/spichugi/src/389-ds-base/src/lib389/cli/dsconf -j ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd-local1.socket replication create-manager --name=cn=repl_m,cn=config --passwd=newpassword123

Good point

Updating Replica entry Advanced Settings doesn't actually update the settings (like nsds5ReplicaTimeout, etc.) But looks like it is a known issue.

Hmmm that should be working - I'll look into it...

Replication Managers DataTable isn't cleaned during the page reload. So if we add Replication Manager on instance1 and then we'll go to instance2 configuration, then Replication Managers DataTable will have the Replication Manager from instance1 in the list.

Okay I'll look into this as well.

Create Replication Agreement form isn't cleaned when we press Create Replication Agreement button. It still has the fields filled with previous agreement data.

Ok, we have clear form function so this is very surprising.

There is cryptic error message when we try to edit the existed agreement (I wrote wrong hostname and I wanted to fix it):
Failed to edit replication agreement
{'desc': 'Operations error'}

If you first add an agreement, then you try to edit it, and then you try to add another one - it will send you to Edit Replication Agreement form instead of Create Replication Agreement

Is there a way to abort CleanAllRUV Tasks?

Yes it's right in the table itself - can't miss it ;-)

That is for now :) Sorry if it's too much

No worries, I'm surprised some of things you reported as I had previously tested those areas. Anyway I'll get them fixed. Thanks for the review.

How are you reproducing this error?

Set Replication Role to disabled and don't set Replica ID. It will fail with the error if you press Save

I haven't seen it in the table... But I'll test more. Maybe I need to reproduce the situation when CleanAllRUV Task is hanging.

Thank you! Very vast and good job anyway!

Works fine for me, maybe you are not fully describing what you are doing? I set the role to master, set replica id and hit save. then I set to disable (which automatically sets replica ID to nothing, and hit save, and it works.

I already addressed all of those issues

Yes, okay. There is a misunderstanding.
My concern was regarding 'puzzling message' which you get when you try to disable replication while there is no Replica entry (it still wasn't enabled).

Failed to set replication configuration
No object exists given the filter criteria dc=example,dc=com

Fix edvarious issues, and improved replication enabling/disabling process
