Export LDIF data
Use this window to export data from the database to an LDAP Data
Interchange Format (LDIF) file.
LDIF is used to represent LDAP entries in text form.
To export data to an LDIF file:
- Type the path and file name of the LDIF file in the Path and LDIF file name field.
Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the file.
- If you want to overwrite the data in an existing file, select the Overwrite if file
exists check box.
- If you want to export the creatorsName, createTimestamp, modifiersName, and modifyTimestamp
operational attributes, select the Export operational attributes check box.
- If you want to export only some of the data in the directory, complete the
Subtree DN field. The subtree DN identifies the top entry of the subtree
that is to be written to the LDIF output file. This entry, plus all entries below it
in the directory hierarchy, are written to the file.
If you do not specify this option, all directory entries stored in the database are
written to the output file based on the suffixes specified in the
IBM(R) Tivoli Directory Server configuration file.
- Click Export.
