Description
Specifies the debug level to use during the
db2ldif runtime. For further information, refer
Section 2.3.1.42, "nsslapd-errorlog-level (Error
to
Log Level)".
Specifies the location of the server configuration
directory that contains the configuration
information for the export process. This must be
the full path to the configuration directory, /etc/
dirsrv/slapd-instance_name.
Decrypts an encrypted database during export.
This option is used only if database encryption is
enabled.
Sets minimal base-64 encoding.
Uses several files to store the output LDIF, with
each instance stored in instance filename, where
filename is the filename specified in option -a.
Specifies the name of the backend instance to be
exported.
Specifies that entry IDs are not to be included
in the LDIF output. The entry IDs are necessary
only if the db2ldif output is to be used as input
to db2index.
Exports replication state information. The server
must be shut down before exporting using this
option.
Specifies the suffix or suffixes to include in the
export. There can be multiple -s arguments.
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 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.
Specifies a suffix or suffixes to exclude in the
export. There can be multiple -x arguments.
If neither -s or -x is not specified, the server
exports all suffixes within the database. When
using both -x and -s options with the same
suffix, the -x operation takes precedence.
Exclusion always takes precedence over
inclusion. If the LDIF file will be imported into
