296 Red Hat Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference • May 2005
Parameter Description
includeSuffix Specifies the suffix or suffixes to include in the export. You
may use multiple -s arguments. If you do not specify -s or
-x, the server exports all suffixes within the database. If you
use both -x and -s arguments with the same suffix, the -x
operation takes precedence. Exclusion always takes
precedence over inclusion.
If you exclude one or more suffixes from the exported LDIF
file and you intend to import the LDIF file into your
configuration directory, do not exclude o=NetscapeRoot. If
you use -s to specify a suffix to include and you intend to
import the LDIF file into your configuration directory, make
sure that you use -s to include o=NetscapeRoot also.
Specifies that the uniqueID will not be included in the LDIF
output. By default, the server includes the uniqueID for all
entries with a uniqueID in the exported LDIF file.
Only use this option if you intend to use the exported LDIF to
initialize a 4.x consumer server; otherwise, this option does
not cause the server to create a uniqueID for entries but simply
takes what already exists in the database.
Outputs the contents of the database without wrapping lines.
excludeSuffix Specifies a suffix or suffixes to exclude in the export. You may
use multiple -x arguments. If you do not specify -s or -x, the
server exports all suffixes within the database. If you use both
-x and -s options with the same suffix, the -x operation takes
precedence. Exclusion always takes precedence over
inclusion. If you intend to import the LDIF file into your
configuration directory, do not exclude o=NetscapeRoot.
backendInstance Specifies the name of the backend instance to be exported.
