!!! Overview
[EDirectory] [{$pagename}] is located on each server tracks all changed entries in the local replicas and contains EntryID and Creation Timestamp and are to be part of the [EDirectory Synchronization] process.

!! Enable or Disable  
You can enable or disable the Inline Change Cache for a server. 

You can disable Inline [{$pagename}] only when Outbound Synchronization is disabled. 
Enabling Outbound Synchronization also enables Inline[{$pagename}].

!! What Goes into [{$pagename}]
* Attributes that are marked [X-NDS_NOT_SCHED_SYNC_IMMEDIATE] are added to the [{$pagename}]as a Slow Convergent or (30 second hold time).
* Attributes that are marked [X-NDS_SCHED_SYNC_NEVER] are added to the [Change Cache] which will sync whenever the next [EDirectory Synchronization] cycle happens but not longer than the [N4u.nds.heartbeat-data] interval.
* Any other Attributes will initiate an immediate [EDirectory Synchronization].
* [Priority Synchronization] - This process does NOT use [{$pagename}].
* [X-NDS_NEVER_SYNC] - Are not synchronized and therefore are never placed in [{$pagename}]!! Asynchronous Outbound Synchronization
Prior to [EDirectory 8.8.8.0 (20801.46)] there was one [thread] responsible for iterating through all entries in the [{$pagename}] to see if there was a new value that needed to be sent to other servers.  This same thread was also responsible for putting the values in a [packet], sending the packet over the wire and waiting on an [acknowledgement] from the receiving server before proceeding.  Performing these tasks sequentially were costly in terms of time required to process the changes out to other servers.  In [EDirectory 8.8.8.0 (20801.46)]+ the work has been split between two [threads].  

One [thread] examines the [{$pagename}], prepares the outgoing packets then fills a queue with the [packets].  The second [thread] picks up the [packets] from the [queue] and sends them the remote server one at a time.  This has reduced the time to get changes out to other servers by up to 50% in some cases.

The __default__ setting for Asynchronous Outbound Synchronization is __disabled__.  In [EDirectory 8.8.8.0 (20801.46)] [imonitor] provides an interface to enable this feature.  If this feature is enabled the server will be much more aggressive in sending changes out to the remote servers.  This can put pressure on the receiving servers resulting in higher utilization.  Therefore, another setting has been included with this feature, the Async Dispatcher Thread Delay.  This setting allows the administrator to control, in milliseconds, the frequency in which changes are sent to the remote servers.  The Async Dispatcher Thread Delay setting, by default, has no delay (0 [milliseconds]).  The allowed range for this setting is 0 - 999 [milliseconds].  If this value is very small, meaning the thread fires more often, higher CPU and I/O utilization may be seen on the receiving servers due to the higher amount of inbound traffic.  Therefore, this setting should be monitored and fine tuned for the specific environment.

%%warning
In [EDirectory 9.0.0.0 (40002.79)] Asynchronous Outbound Synchronization is turned on by default and is using the Background Process Delay with a Maximum CPU Utilization  of 80%.
