NAME

       db2ldif - Directory Server script for exporting the database

SYNOPSIS

       db2ldif [-Z serverID] {-n backend_instance}* | {-s includeSuffix}* [{-x excludeSuffix}*] [-a outputFile] [-m] [-M] [-r] [-u] [-U] [-C] [-N]
       [-E] [-1] [-q] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       Exports the contents of the database to a LDIF file. This script can be executed while the server is still running, except when	using  the
       -r option.

OPTIONS

       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 reindex.  Example: userRoot

       -s includeSuffix
	      Specifies suffixes to be included in the LDIF file.

       -x excludeSuffix
	      Specifies suffixes to be excluded from the LDIF file.

       -a Output File
	      The name for the LDIF file.

       -m
	      Minimize the base64 encodings in the exported LDIF file.

       -M
	      Exported ldif is stored in multiple files. These files are named : <instance>_<filename>
	      By default, all instances are stored in the filename specified by the -a option.

       -r
	      Export replication data(information required to initialize a replica when the LDIF is imported).

       -u
	      Do not export the unique-id attribute.

       -U
	      Requests that the output LDIF is not folded.

       -C
	      Uses only the main database file.

       -N
	      Suppress printing sequential number

       -E
	      Decrypts any encrypted data during export.

       -1
	      Deletes, for reasons of backward compatibility, the first line of the LDIF file that gives the version of the LDIF standard.

       -q
	      Quiet mode.  Suppresses output of the script.

       -h
	      Display the usage.

EXAMPLE

       db2ldif -Z instance3 -n userRoot -a /LDAP/ldif/export.ldif
