Limber

Limber ensures that the replica pointer table is updated when a server name or address is changed. Such changes occur when

• The server is rebooted with a new server name or IPX^TM internal address.
• An address is added for an additional protocol.
• Any time the database is opened, such as after running DSREPAIR or unloading and loading NDS.
• When communication is established with an additional server in the tree.

When a server is booted, the limber process compares the server's name and IPX address with those stored in the replica pointer table. If either are different, NDS^TM automatically updates all replica pointer tables that contain a listing of that server.

The limber process also checks that the tree name is correct for each server in a replica ring.

Limber runs by default five minutes after the server boots up and then every three hours.
