HP UX Red Hat Direry Server Software manual Running the vlvindex Script

Command-Line

the browsing index; in this example, the ou=People,dc=example,dc=com entry. Red Hat recommends using the dn of the entry for the browsing index identifier, which is the approach adopted by the Directory Server Console, to prevent identical browsing indexes from being created. The entry is a member of the vlvSearch object class.

•The vlvbase attribute value specifies the entry on which you want to create the browsing index; in this example, the ou=People,dc=example,dc=com entry (the browsing index identifier).

•The vlvscope attribute is 1, indicating that the scope for the search you want to accelerate is 1. A search scope of 1 means that only the immediate children of the entry specified in the cn attribute, and not the entry itself, will be searched.

•The vlvfilter specifies the filter to be used for the search; in this example,

((objectclass=*)(objectclass=ldapsubentry)).

3.Add the second entry, to specify the sorting order for the returned attributes:

dn: cn=by MCC ou=People dc=example dc=com,cn=MCC ou=People dc=example dc=com, cn=userRoot, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn= config

objectClass: top

objectClass: vlvIndex

cn: by MCC ou=People dc=example dc=com

vlvSort: cn givenName o ou sn

•The cn contains the browsing index sort identifier. The above cn is the type created by the Console by default, which has the sorting order as being set by the browsing index base. The entry is a member of the vlvIndex object class.

•The vlvsort attribute value specifies the order in which you want your attributes to be sorted; in this example, cn, givenName, o, ou, and then sn.

NOTE

This first browsing index entry must be added to the

cn=database_name,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config directory tree node, and the second entry must be a child of the first entry.

2.4.2. Running the vlvindex Script

After creating the two browsing indexing entries or added additional attribute types to an existing indexing browsing entries, run the vlvindex script to generate the new set of browsing indexes to be maintained by the Directory Server. After running the script, the new set of browsing indexes is active for any new data added to the directory and any existing data in the
