That is the notification for slurpd to update the replica

You have to configure slurpd to update the slave server, and you have
to run a slave server aka replica as well. Slurpd gets its
configration parameters from slapd, but don't forget that slurpd is a
client to slapd, not a server application.
See man (5) slapd.conf and man (5) slapd.replog
and http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin21/
