Novell GROUPWISE 7 - USERS Manual page 11

Parent: If you are importing objects that belong to a GroupWise-related eDirectory class or a
GroupWise-only class, the parent attribute is required unless:
The class is the eDirectory User class, in which case the object can be optionally
associated with GroupWise by specifying a value here.
The value is in the import file and is explicitly imported by your positioning the NGW:
Post Office attribute in the File Fields list box, explained below. In this case, if the value
obtained from the file is blank, the Post Office field value, if any, is used.
Import File: Specify the full path and file name of the ASCII text file.
Attributes / File Fields: This list displays the attributes of the selected class. Move the
attributes to correspond to the fields in the ASCII text file to the File Fields list.
Some attributes are marked with an exclamation point (!), indicating that a value for that
attribute must exist for a successful import. The import also requires a value for either the
object name or distinguished name.
Starting Destination Context: Specify the destination eDirectory context for the objects to be
imported. If DN or Context from Root is selected as an import field, the value in this field is
ignored because both DN and Context from Root specify the destination context.
An imported object's position in the tree can be constructed in a flexible manner using the
Context from Root, Context from Starting, DN, and Object Name class attribute fields and the
Starting Destination Context field. The following combinations are valid:
DN
Object Name +
Starting Destination
Context
Object Name +
Context from Starting +
Starting Destination
Context
Object Name +
Context from Root
Skip the First Line of the Import File: This directs the import to skip the first line if it
contains the attribute names.

export file. For more information, see

An import.log file is created in the same directory as the import file and contains a list of the
imported objects.
Loading or Saving a Configuration File
An import or export configuration can be saved and loaded, saving you the trouble of manually
filling in the fields for multiple imports or exports. A configuration saved from an export can be
Each object's name and context are found in this field value.
Each object name in the Object Name field is added to the context
specified in Starting Destination Context.
Each object name in the Object Name field is added to the context
obtained by concatenating the value in the Context from Starting field
and the value specified in Starting Destination Context.
Each object name in the Object Name field is added to the context read
from the Context from Root field.
