Object Naming - Quick Question

[jaybo71]

Is there a problem using the same object name over and over again? Example - User object JSMITH is deleted and re-created again immediatley in the same container? Should I wait until a short period of time has passed to make sure the replicas agree that old user JSMITH is gone before creating a new JSMITH?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes you should. The more replicas you have the longer you should wait.

Is your server/DS heathy? If so, it shouldn't take too long.

Yes, tree is healthy ( knock on wood )..

I believe the replicas sync every 4 minutes or so.. So as long as I wait a that short period of time, I recreate an object over and over without any hangups? correct?

Thanks..

Hi,

Yes that should be plenty of time for a few replicas. But if you have more than a few I would wait a bit longer. Not all replicas are updated at the same exact time.

you can tell if it's causing an issue by checking if you have any stuck obits

i like to do this monthly in case they come back and haunt you

Just out of curiosity, why are you creating and deleting the same user name over and over again?

You can check to see if the deleted object has been flushed by checking in DSBROWSE.. Just load it on the server and drill down to the container where the user was located. If the object shows up as [DELETED OBJECT], It hasn't been completely processed. I would wait till it's completely gone before trying to create a new one.
