CLEANALLRUV.PL(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 CLEANALLRUV.PL(8)

NAME

       cleanallruv.pl - Directory Server perl script for issuing a cleanAllRUV task

SYNOPSIS

       cleanallruv.pl [-v] [-Z serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - | -j filename } -b basedn -r rid  [-A] [-P protocol] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       Creates and adds a cleanAllRUV task to the Directory Server

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.

       -D Root DN
	      The Directory Manager DN, or root DN.  If not specified, the script will search the server instance configuration for the value.

       -w password
	      The rootdn password.

       -w -
	      Prompt for the rootdn password.

       -j password filename
	      The name of the file that contains the root DN password.

       -b basedn
	      The replicated suffix that needs to be cleaned.

       -r rid
	      The replica ID that needs to be removed.

       -P Protocol
	      The  connection  protocol  to  connect  to the Directory Server.	Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP.  If this option is
	      skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used.  For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.

       -A
	      Abort a cleanAllRUV task that is currently running.

       -v
	      Display verbose ouput

       -h

EXAMPLE

       cleanallruv.pl -Z instance1 -D 'cn=directory manager' -j /tmp/pw.txt -b 'dc=example,dc=com' -r 87 -P STARTTLS

	      Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS.	If STARTTLS is not available it will default to  next  strongest/available
	      protocol automatically.

       cleanallruv.pl -j /export/rootdnpw.txt -b 'dc=example,dc=com' -A -r 87

DIAGNOSTICS

       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.
