Table A-2 ldif2db options (continued)

Option

Description

-ildifFile

Specifies the LDIF file to be imported. This option is required. There can be multiple -i

 

arguments to import more than one LDIF file at a time. When importing multiple files, the

 

server imports the LDIF files in the order they are specified on the command line.

-n backendInstance Specifies the name of the backend to be imported.

-O

Specifies that no attribute indexes are created for the imported database. If this option is

 

specified and the indexes need to be restored later, the indexes have to be recreated by hand.

 

See the HP-UX Directory Server administrator guide for further information.

 

 

-sincludeSuffix

Specifies the suffix or suffixes within the LDIF file to import.

 

 

-xexcludeSuffix

Specifies suffixes within the LDIF file to exclude during the import. There can be multiple

 

-xarguments. This option can selectively import portions of the LDIF file. If both -xand

 

-sare used with the same suffix, -xtakes precedence. Exclusion always takes precedence

 

over inclusion. If -xor -sare not specified, then all available suffixes will be imported

 

from the LDIF file. To import the LDIF file into the configuration directory, do not exclude

 

o=NetscapeRoot.
