Parameter Description
-a outputFile Defines the output file in which the server saves the exported
LDIF. This file is stored by default in the directory where the
command-line utility resides.
-d debugLevel Specifies the debug level to use during the db2ldif runtime.
For further information, see “nsslapd-errorlog-level (Error
Log Level),” on page 58.
-D configDir Specifies the location of the server configuration directory that
contains the configuration information for the export process.
You must specify the full path to the slapd-serverID
directory.
-N Specifies that entry IDs are not to be included in the LDIF
output. The entry IDs are necessary only if the db2ldif
output is to be used as input to db2index.
-r 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.
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.
