2.1. Exporting Directory Data to LDIF Using the Console

Some or all of directory data can be exported to LDIF, depending upon the location of the final exported file. When the LDIF file is on the server, only the data contained by the databases local to the server can be exported. If the LDIF file is remote to the server, all of the databases and database links can be exported.

Export directory data to LDIF from the Directory Server Console while the server is running, and do the following:

1.Select the Tasks tab. Scroll to the bottom of the screen, and click Export Database(s). Alternatively, select the Configuration tab and click the Export from the Console menu. The Export Database dialog box opens.

2.Enter the full path and filename of the LDIF file in the LDIF File field, or click Browse to locate the file.

Browse is not enabled if the Console is running on a remote server. When the Browse

button is not enabled, the file is stored in the default directory,

/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif.1

3.If the Console is running on a machine remote to the server, two radio buttons are displayed beneath the LDIF File field.

Select To local machine to export the data to an LDIF file on the machine from which the Console is running.

Select To server machine to export to an LDIF file located on the server's machine.

4.To export the whole directory, select the Entire database radio button.

To export only a single subtree of the suffix contained by the database, select the Subtree radio button, and then enter the name of the suffix in the Subtree text box. This option exports a subtree that is contained by more than one database.
