-629 FFFFFD8B ENTRY IS NOT LEAF
Explanation: An attempt was made to remove an NDS object that has a nonzero subordinate count. Only leaf objects can be deleted. A container object that does not contain any objects is considered a leaf object and therefore can be deleted. A container object that contains other objects or is a partition root cannot be deleted.
symptom
Error -629 during NDS synchronization
During NDS synchronization the sending and receiving servers report a -629 error for a container object.
cause
The root cause was that the NT server was receiving an instruction to delete a container ' .org-unit.org.tree.' that still contained leaf objects. One of the OBITUARY NOTIFY attribute values on the .R71.org-unit.org.tree container was contained the delete obituary instruction.
fix
In order to capture a detailed trace use the following DSTRACE filters on the sending and receiving servers.
SET DSTRACE=ON
SET DSTRACE=+SYNC
SET DSTRACE=+PART
SET DSTRACE=+LOST
SET DSTRACE=+DETAIL
SET DSTRACE=+MISC
SET DSTRACE=+IN
If you see the message below, then you will need to call Novell Tech Support to assist you.
Lost: Process delete notify for
Lost: removing
OR
Using the replica on the receiving server as a good copy and then sending out that copy to the other servers may be a solution. But this may be a bit drastic. See other TID's which instruct you on using 'DSREPAIR Send all Objects' and 'Receive All Objects'.
