Core Server
Stopping the server during export, backup, restore, or index creation may cause it to crash (#4678334)
Database becomes unavailable if the LDIF file is inaccessible during import (#4884530)
If a non-existent file is specified for an online import, the server still deletes the existing database.
Chained suffixes return mixed case DNs in lower case (#4917152)
A mixed case DN retrieved using
getDN
will be returned exactly as originally specified. If the DN is
retrieved using a chaining suffix, the DN will be returned all lower case.
When exporting a subtree using the db2ldif -s option, an error message may be generated despite the
operation having been successful (#4925250)
When using the -s option of the
db2ldif
script to export a subtree, the following incorrect error
message may be generated and can therefore be discounted:
Failed to fetch subtree lists (error -30991) DB_NOTFOUND: No
matching key/data pair found
Incorrect error message if the transaction log directory is missing (#4938877)
If you try to start Directory Server with a custom transaction log directory and that directory either
does not exist or is not writable, then the server will not be able to start. The error log indicates
erroneously that the database home directory is the cause.
Backend instances (databases) called “Default” will not function (#4966365)
Workaround
Do not name your database “Default” as it will not function correctly. Should you need to rename
your database you can do so by selecting the Options button in the New Suffix panel and then enter
your database name in the Use custom text field of the Database Information section.
Installing 64-bit packages locks out the 32-bit Directory Server databases (#4786900)
Running db2ldif with the -r option results in a disorderly shutdown of the database (#4869781)
Deleting an attribute subtype value deletes all attribute values (#4914303)
If you create an entry with an attribute which has, for example, 3 values, one of which has a subtype
tag on it, and you then delete the attribute with the subtype tag, every value of that attribute is
deleted.
