NAME
       db2ldif.pl - Directory Server perl script for exporting a database to a LDIF file


SYNOPSIS
       db2ldif.pl  [-Z  serverID]  [-D  rootdn]  {  -w  password  |  -w  -  |  -j pwfilename } [-P protocol] {-n
       backendname}* | {-s includeSuffix}* [{-x excludeSuffix}*] [-m] [-M] [-r] [-u] [-C] [-N]  [-E]  [-1]  [-U]
       [-a filename] [-h]


DESCRIPTION
       Exports the contents of the database to LDIF. This script creates an entry in the directory that launches
       this dynamic task.


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.

       -D Root DN
              The  Directory  Manager  DN,  or  root  DN.   If  not specified, the script will search the server
              instance configuration for the value.

       -w password
              The rootdn password.

       -w -
              Prompt for the rootdn password.

       -j password filename
              The name of the file that contains the root DN password.

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

       -s includeSuffix
              The suffix DN to be included in the exported LDIF file.

       -x excludeSuffix
              The suffix DN to be excluded from the exported LDIF file.

       -a filename
              Name for the exported LDIF file.

       -P Protocol
              The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server.  Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI,
              and  LDAP.   If  this  option is skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used.  For
              LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.

       -m
              Minimize the base64 encodings in the exported LDIF file.

       -M
              Exported ldif is stored in multiple files. These files are named : <instance>_<filename>
              By default, all instances are stored in the filename specified by the -a option.

       -r
              Export replication data(information required to initialize a replica when the LDIF is imported).

       -u
              Do not export the unique-id attribute.

       -U
              Requests that the output LDIF is not folded.

       -C
              Uses only the main database file.

       -N
              Suppress printing sequential number

       -E
              Decrypts any encrypted data during export.

       -1
              Deletes, for reasons of backward compatibility, the first line of the LDIF  file  that  gives  the
              version of the LDIF standard.

       -h
              Display usage


EXAMPLE
       db2ldif.pl -Z instance3 -n userRoot -a /LDAP/ldif/export.ldif -P STARTTLS

              Note:  security  must  be  enabled to use protocol STARTTLS.  If STARTTLS is not available it will
              default to next strongest/available protocol automatically.

       db2ldif.pl -s 'dc=example,dc=com' -a /LDAP/ldif/export.ldif -m -E -q


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.
