286 Netscape Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference • December 2003
Parameter Description
Causes the server to include the copiedFrom attribute and its
contents in the LDIF output when importing the LDIF file to a
consumer server. This information is required by the server by
the replication process.
Note that if you use the -r option, you also need to specify the
suffix you want to export by using the -s option. You must
shut down the server before exporting using this option.
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.
Note 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 also use -s to include o=NetscapeRoot.
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.
Use this option if you intend to use the exported LDIF to
initialize a 4.x consumer server. However, do not use this
option when you are importing into a 5.x consumer, as it 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.
