Replica Perishable Data Delta is extremely high in single replica environment

All health check stats are fine and server is in sync

cause

Perishable data is how much data has not been replicated to any other server and would perish if you experienced a catastrophic failure and didn't have a backup.   In  a single server tree by definition ALL data on the server is perishable, since it has not replicated.  You may also see this for partitions where there is only ONE replica of the partition.

fix

If you don't want this number to cause a red flag to show up in Agent Health, you can modify the ndsimonitorhealth.ini file located in SYS:SYSTEM on NetWare or c:\Novell\NDS on Windows and change the perishable_data setting.  The ndsimonhealth.ini file is well documented and will explain how to do this.
