ldif2db - Directory Server script for importing a LDIF file

ldif2db [-Z serverID] -n backendname {-s includesuffix}* [{-x excludesuffix}*] [-g [string] [-G namespace_id]] {-i ldiffile}* [-c chunksize] [-v] [-O] [-E] [-q] [-h]

Imports a LDIF file. Either the option ’-n’ or ’-s’ must be used. The server instance must be stopped prior to running this command.

A summary of options is included below:

-Z Server Identifier
	The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
-n Backend Name
	The name of the LDBM database to restore. Example: userRoot
-s includeSuffix
	Specifies the suffixes to be included or specifies the subtrees to be included.
-x excludeSuffix
	Specifies the suffixes to be excluded or specifies the subtrees to be excluded.
-i filename
	Name for the LDIF file to import.
-c Chunk size
	The number of entries to process before starting a fresh pass during the import. By default this is handled internally by the server.
-O	Requests that only the core database is created without attribute indexes.
-v	Display version
-g [string]
	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.
-G namespace_id
	Generates a namespace ID as a name-based unique ID. This is the same as specifying the -g deterministic option.
-E	Encrypts data during import. This option is used only if database encryption is enabled.
-v	Display version
-h	Display usage

Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
