HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 configuration, command, and file reference

Table A-1 db2ldif options (continued)
DescriptionOption
Specifies that entry IDs are not to be included in the LDIF output. The entry IDs are necessary
only if the output of the db2ldif command is to be used as input to the db2index
command.
-N
Exports replication state information. The server must be shut down before exporting using
this option.
-r
Specifies the suffix or suffixes to include in the export. There can be multiple -s arguments.-s includeSuffix
Specifies that the uniqueID will not be included in the LDIF output. By default, the server
includes the uniqueID for all entries with a uniqueID in the exported LDIF file. Only use
this option to use the exported LDIF to initialize a 4.x consumer server; otherwise, this
option does not cause the server to create a uniqueID for entries but simply takes what
already exists in the database.
-u
Outputs the contents of the database without wrapping lines.-U
Specifies a suffix or suffixes to exclude in the export. There can be multiple -x arguments.
If neither -s or -x is not specified, the server exports all suffixes within the database. When
using both -x and -s options with the same suffix, the -x operation takes precedence.
Exclusion always takes precedence over inclusion. If the LDIF file will be imported into the
configuration directory, do not exclude o=NetscapeRoot.
-x excludeSuffix
A.4 Utilities for restoring and backing up databases: ldif2db
Imports LDIF files to the database.
Syntax
ns-slapd ldif2db -D configDir -i ldifFile [ -d debugLevel ] [ -g string ] [ -n
backendInstance ] [ -O] [ -s includeSuffix ] [ -x excludeSuffix] [ -E]
Enter the full path to the server configuration directory (configdir). ldifFile is the name
of the file containing the LDIF to be imported. There is an example LDIF file under the
/var/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif directory. Either the -n or the -s option
must be specified.
Options
Table A-2 ldif2db options
DescriptionOption
Specifies the debug level to use during runtime. For further information, refer to
“nsslapd-errorlog-level (Error log level)”.
-d debugLevel
Specifies the location of the server configuration directory that contains the configuration
information for the import process. This must be the fulle path to the configuration directory,
/etc/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name.
-D configDir
Decrypts an encrypted database during export. This option is used only if database
encryption is enabled.
-E
Generates a unique ID. Type none for no unique ID to be generated and deterministic
for the generated unique ID to be name-based. By default, a time-based unique ID is
generated.
When using the deterministic generation to have a name-based unique ID, it is also
possible to specify the namespace for the server to use, as follows:
-g deterministic namespaceId
namespaceId is a string of characters in the format
00-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.
Use this option to import the same LDIF file into two different Directory Servers and the
contents of both directories should have the same set of unique IDs. If unique IDs already
exist in the LDIF file being imported, then the existing IDs are imported to the server,
regardless of the options specified.
