!! Overview
[{$pagename}] are IDM driver cache files (#####.TAO) in the [eDirectory DIB directory|Files In Dib Directory] are named by the driver’s [LocalEntryID] on each server.%%warning
Be careful TAO files are the IDM driver's cache of events.
%%
If you just stop it, the TAO file caches events until you start it again.
! [Ndstrace]
If the [DirXML-DriverTraceLevel] is >=3\\
DSTRACE +DXML shows caching of events and anything related to the TAO (driver cache) file !! How to Find The driver for the TAO File
A little known fact is that the "local ID" is available from LDAP as [LocalEntryID]. Also interestingly, the [localEntryID] is stored in decimal, the same as the file names.
So when we look a the the TAO files, they look something like:
{{{
l /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/*.TAO
-rw------- 1 root root 72 Sep 7 10:38 /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/44279.TAO
-rw------- 1 root root 782 Aug 27 20:06 /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/44285.TAO
-rw------- 1 root root 72 Aug 23 07:28 /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/45670.TAO
}}}
So we wrote a script does all the work for us. You need to runt he following command first:
{{{
LIST=`ls /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/*.TAO`
}}}
This puts the file TAO filenames in the LIST varible. You can check this with:
{{{
> echo $LIST
/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/44279.TAO /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/44285.TAO /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/45670.TAO
}}}
Then, use the attached script to determine which file goes with which driver by running:
{{{
> ./taofiles.sh $LIST
The output will look similar to:
44279.TAO = dn: cn=Generic Loopback,cn=driverSet,ou=idm,dc=willeke,dc=com
44285.TAO = dn: cn=MAD,cn=driverSet,ou=idm,dc=willeke,dc=com
45670.TAO = dn: cn=WorkOrder,cn=driverSet,ou=idm,dc=willeke,dc=com
}}} We are pretty sure some of you will come up with imporvements, so let us know.
