-629 FFFFFD8B ENTRY IS NOT LEAF

Source

eDirectory™

Explanation

An attempt was made to remove an eDirectory object that has a subordinate count of nonzero.

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

A container object that does not contain any objects is considered a leaf object, and therefore can be deleted. If you attempt to delete a container object that contains an object of any class, the following error will be returned: "The utility can't delete Object Class=Object_name because it is not a leaf object." A container object that is a partition root cannot be deleted.

Action

Delete all objects under the container object that is being deleted or modified. If the object is a partition root, merge the partition with the parent partition using NDS® Manager, and then delete the object using NetWare* Administrator.

Possible Cause

A program fault occurred in the application used to remove the object.

Action

Contact the developer of the application.

Possible Cause

If this error occurs during an eDirectory background process, discrepancies might exist between the replicas of a partition.

Action

Perform a database repair on the target server using DSREPAIR.

- If DSREPAIR can resolve the issue and the target server does not hold the master replica of the partition, use DSREPAIR to perform a Receive All Updates from the Master to This Replica operation on the source server.

Warning:

The Receive All Updates from the Master to This Replica operation in DSREPAIR removes the replica and then places the replica back on the server. This operation cannot be performed on the server that holds the master replica. If this operation needs to be performed on the server holding the master replica, reassign the master replica to another replica ring using DSREPAIR before starting this operation.

- If DSREPAIR can resolve the issue and the target server holds the master replica of the partition, use DSREPAIR to perform a Send All Objects to Every Replica in the Ring operation on the target server.

Warning:

When a Send All Objects to Every Replica in the Ring operation is performed on large partitions or partitions with numerous replicas, considerable traffic on the network can result.

- If DSREPAIR cannot resolve the issue, you can remove the replica for the target server using the NDS Manager, provided the target server does not hold the master replica.
