Q.
How can I read the NDS "Partition Status" attribute?
A.
The "Partition Status" attribute of a partition object (see http://developer.novell.de/ndk/doc/ndslib/schm_enu/data/sdk4728.htm) has the syntax SYN_OCTET_STRING, but the structure of the returned octet string currently is not available in the documentation.
To decode the data part of the octet string, you can use this structure:
nuint32 version (0) nuint32 flags (0: local error; 1: remote error; 2: in sync) nuint32 syncTime nuint32 replicaNumber (0: reserved) nuint32 error (0: success) nuint32 reserved nuint32 serverNameLength unicode serverName[MAX_DN_CHARS] nuint32 reserved[..]
