Ldife Import / Export problem

[nico93100]

Hi,
I have a little problem with the ldifde command. Here it is :

1) EXPORT from the server : pl2source

I'm exporting from the server : pl2source a ldif file with the following command :

ldifde -f personnes.ldf -s localhost -t 389 -d "OU=centrale,OU=personnes,DC=adc,DC=education,DC=fr" -p subtree

Here is an extract of this file :

2) IMPORT from the server : pl2dest

I'm trying to import personnes.ldif from the destination server : pl2dest

ldifde -i -f personnes.ldf -s localhost -t 389

Here is the message I'm getting :

C:\WINDOWS\ADAM>ldifde -i -f personnes.ldf -s localhost -t 389
Connexion à "localhost" en cours

L'erreur du côté serveur est : 0x208d Objet de l'annuaire non trouvé.
L'erreur serveur étendue est :

f:

0 entrées modifiées.
Une erreur s'est produite dans le programme

Does someone know where is the problem ?
Thank you
:)

looks like the partition (or a required subtree of) DC=education,DC=fr
that you are attempting to import into does not exist on PL2DEST?

I ve got it right after about three days of struggle.

Here is the trick.

Exporting:

when you export you have to use the -m switch to omit the attributes that cannot be written. IE:GUID s and stuff. This is one main reason for the error.

So the command would be:
ldifde -f c:\Dper.ldf -m -s localhost -t 10389 -d "OU=Dev,OU=Configurations,O=config" -p subtree

Importing:

Before you import you have to open the .ldf file and change the name of your destination OU if you are going to import this to the same ADAM instance you exported it from. Otherwise no change needed.

Command: ldifde -i -f c:\Dper.ldf -s localhost -t 10389
