-665 FFFFFD67   NEW EPOCH

Source:  eDirectory or NDS

Explanation:  An attempt was made to manipulate objects on a server that is using a newer epoch of the data.

WARNING:  Applying all solutions mentioned in this topic could make the problem worse if the actual cause of the problem is not known. Before following a course of action, make sure that you understand the cause of the error and the consequences for the actions suggested.

Possible Cause:  This error could occur during the replica synchronization process. If the following message is displayed while using DSTRACE with the Synchronization flag set on the source server, the target server has a newer epoch than the source server.

SYNC: <TargetServerName> has newer epoch. Delaying sync.

Action:  Contact a Novell Support Provider.

Possible Cause:  This error could occur during the inbound replica synchronization process. If the following message is displayed while using DSTRACE with the Schema Synchronization flag set on the target server, the source server has an older epoch than the target server.

UNMATCHED EPOCHS on <ReplicaRootEntryID>--> LOCAL EPOCH: EpochNumber <TargetServer EntryID> EPOCH: EpochNumber

Action:  This error is transitory and will be handled by the eDirectory or NDS replica synchronization process.

Possible Cause:  This error could occur during the schema synchronization process. If the following message is displayed while using DSTRACE with the Schema Synchronization flag set on the target server, the source server has a newer epoch on its eDirectory or NDS schema than the target server.

*DSAStartUpdateSchema: Client <SourceServerEntryID>, New Epoch: Timestamp:Replica Number

Action:  This error is transitory and will be handled by the eDirectory or NDS schema synchronization process.
