NAME
       ldif2db - Directory Server script for importing a LDIF file

SYNOPSIS
       ldif2db	 [-Z   serverID]   -n  backendname  {-s	 includesuffix}*  [{-x
       excludesuffix}*] [-g [string] [-G  namespace_id]]  {-i  ldiffile}*  [-c
       chunksize] [-O] [-E] [-q] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       Imports a LDIF file.  Either the option '-n' or '-s' must be used.  The
       server instance must be stopped prior to running this command.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below:

       -Z Server Identifier
	      The server ID of the Directory Server  instance.	 If  there  is
	      only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.

       -n Backend Name
	      The name of the LDBM database to restore.	 Example: userRoot

       -s includeSuffix
	      Specifies	 the suffixes to be included or specifies the subtrees
	      to be included.

       -x excludeSuffix
	      Specifies the suffixes to be excluded or specifies the  subtrees
	      to be excluded.

       -i filename
	      Name for the LDIF file to import.

       -c Chunk size
	      The  number  of  entries to process before starting a fresh pass
	      during the import.  By default this is handled internally by the
	      server.

       -O
	      Requests	 that  only  the  core	database  is  created  without
	      attribute indexes.

       -g [string]
	      Generates a unique ID. Type none for no unique ID to  be	gener‐
	      ated  and	 deterministic for the generated unique ID to be name-
	      based. By default, a time-based unique ID	 is  generated.	  When
	      using  the  deterministic generation to have a name-based unique
	      ID, it is also possible to specify the namespace for the	server
	      to use, as follows:

	      -g deterministic namespaceId

	      namespaceId is a string of characters in the format 00-xxxxxxxx-
	      xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx.

       -G namespace_id
	      Generates a namespace ID as a name-based unique ID. This is  the
	      same as specifying the -g deterministic option.

       -E
	      Encrypts	data  during import. This option is used only if data‐
	      base encryption is enabled.

       -v
	      Display verbose ouput

       -h
	      Display usage

EXAMPLE
       ldif2db -Z instance1 -n userRoot -i /LDAP/ldif/data.ldif

       ldif2db -s "dc=example,dc=com" -i /LDAP/ldif/data.ldif

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit status is zero if no errors occur.	Errors result  in  a  non-zero
       exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
