Hi Rich, Thanks a lot for your reply. Does it produce a core dump, or just exit? It's only just exit. There is a force exit ( PR_ASSERT (0);) after putting the below error meaasge File: /ldapserver/ldap/servers/plugins/replication/repl5_replica.c else /* error */ { char ebuf[BUFSIZ]; slapi_log_error(SLAPI_LOG_FATAL, repl_plugin_name, "replica_write_ruv: failed to update RUV tombstone for %s; " "LDAP error - %d\n", escape_string(slapi_sdn_get_dn(r->repl_root),ebuf), rc); PR_ASSERT (0); } Why are you trying to put the db into read-only mode? To make sure no more changes can reach to the database. But this I am doing while changes are coming in. What platform? What version of 389-ds-base? It's HP-UX. 1.2.1 Version of 389-ds-base.
