The issue is with operation 3 being sent *but not applied* during online init. At least, this was the *previous* behaviour of the server prior to 48755. So, in the previous behaviour of the server, with 3 being skipped, how was the modrdn applied? You are claiming the RUV of the consumer is set to that of the supplier which would mean that operation 3 would *never* be applied to the consumer, causing inconsistency. Prior to 48755, the only way to send 3, was to set the RUV of the consumer to some low value, ie start of the changelog. This way, the changelog would be replayed as a whole. I seem to remember Mark fixing a bug in URP earlier this year, related to this topic. Because the consumer RUV was set to an earlier CSN, the modrdn was being replayed. In the case the entries *were* in order, and was able to be applied, the URP was failing to double-apply the modrdn. The fix I think Mark applied was just to skip the failing update. This bug could only have existing *because* of the consumer having it's RUV set to a low CSN, and after the init, having the CL replayed. Given I don't know my way around the repl code very well, can you point me to the location where the consumer ruv is updated as part of the replication total init?

[389-devel] Re: Replication after full online init
Hi William, the reason that after a total init the consumer does not have the latest state of the supplier RUV and is receiving updates based on the RUV at start of the total init is independent of the modrdn problem. When a supplier is performing a total init it is still accepting changes, the total init can take a while and there are scenarios where an entry which is already sent is updated before total init finishes. We cannot loose these changes. Therfor the update resolution/ entry state resolution on the consumer side has to handle this, ignore changes already applied and apply new changes. And it handles it, if there are bugs they have to be fixed. Now, I am no longer sure if the fix for 48755 handles correctly all modrdns received after the id list was prepared, the parentid might change while the total init is on progress. This brings up my origimal suggestion to handle the modrdn problems also on the consumer side.
