To import data from the Directory Server Console:
On the Directory Server Console, select the Tasks tab. Scroll to the bottom of
1.
the screen and select Import Database.
You can also import by going to the Configuration tab and selecting "Import"
from the Console menu.
The Import Database dialog box is displayed.
In the "LDIF file" field, enter the full path to the LDIF file you want to import
2.
or click Browse to select the file you want to import.
If you are running the console on a machine remote to the directory, the field
name appears as "LDIF file (on the machine running the console)." This
reminds you that when you do a browse, you are not browsing your current
directory. Instead, you are browsing the file system of the machine running the
console.
In the Options box, select one or more of the following options:
3.
Add Only. The LDIF file may contain modify and delete instructions in
addition to the default add instructions. If you want the server to ignore
operations other than add, select the "Add only" check box.
Continue on Error. Select the "Continue on error" checkbox if you want the
server to continue with the import even if errors occur. For example, you might
use this option if you are importing an LDIF file that contains some entries that
already exist in the database in addition to new ones. The server notes existing
entries in the rejects file while adding all new entries.
In the "File for Rejects" field, enter the full path to the file in which you want
4.
the server to record all entries it cannot import or click Browse to select the file
which will contain the rejects.
For example, the server cannot import an entry that already exists in the
database or an entry that has no parent object. The console will write the error
message sent by the server to the rejects file.
If you leave this field blank, the server will not record rejected entries.
Click OK.
5.
The server performs the import and also creates indexes.
