Netscape/iPlanet Changelog Connector
Overview
The Netscape/iPlanet Changelog Connector is a specialized instance of the
LDAP Connector. This Connector contains logic to iterate the changelog and parse
the changes attribute. The Connector can be used in batch oriented runs where it
starts at a specific change number and terminates after the last changelog
entry. It can also be run in continuous mode where you specify the timer values
for periodically checking for the next changelog entry.
The Connector will read changelog entries and automatically increase the
changelog counter by one for each iteration. When the Connector tries to read a
non existing changelog entry the Connector goes to sleep for a while (nsSleepInterval).
If the total time the Connector is waiting for a new entry exceeds the nsTimeout
value the Connector returns to the caller with a null value (end of iteration).
