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

       db2ldif -s 'dc=example,dc=com' -a /LDAP/ldif/export.ldif -m -E -q

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.

NAME

       slapcat - SLAPD database to LDIF utility

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/slapcat [-v] [-c] [-d level] [-b suffix] [-n dbnum] [-f slapd.conf] [-l ldif-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Slapcat	is  used  to generate an LDAP Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) output based upon the contents of a slapd(8) database.  It opens
       the given database determined by the database number or suffix and writes the corresponding LDIF to standard output or the specified file.

       The LDIF generated by this tool is suitable for use with slapadd(8).  As the entries are in database order, not superior first order,  they
       cannot be loaded with ldapadd(8) without being reordered.

OPTIONS

       -v     enable verbose mode.

       -c     enable continue (ignore errors) mode.

       -d level
	      enable debugging messages as defined by the specified level.

       -b suffix
	      Use  the	specified  suffix  to  determine  which database to generate output for.  The -b cannot be used in conjunction with the -n
	      option.

       -n dbnum
	      Generate output for the dbnum-th database listed in the configuration file.  The -n cannot  be  used  in	conjunction  with  the	-b
	      option.

       -f slapd.conf
	      specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.

       -l ldif-file
	      Write LDIF to specified file instead of standard output.

Limitations
       Your slapd(8) should not be running (at least, not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency of the database.

EXAMPLES

       To make a text backup of your SLAPD database and put it in a file called ldif, give the command:

	    /usr/sbin/slapcat -l ldif
