Creating Indexes
358 Netscape Directory Server Administrator’s Guide • May 2002
The second entry you add specifies the sorting order you want for the returned
attributes:
dn:cn=sort_cn_givenname_o_ou_sn,cn="dc=example,dc=com",cn=Example1,
cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectClass:top
objectClass:vlvIndex
cn:cn=sort_cn_givenname_o_ou_sn
vlvsort:cn givenname o ou sn
The
cn
contains the browsing index sort identifier. We recommend you use a sort
identifier which clearly identifies the search sorting order for the browsing index
you create, such as the explicit sort identifier
cn=sort_cn_givenname_o_ou_sn
in
this example. The entry is a member of the
vlvIndex
object class. The
vlvsort
attribute value specifies the order in which you want your attributes to be sorted,
in this example
cn
,
givenname
,
o
,
ou
and then
sn
.
Running the vlvindex Script
Once you have created the two browsing indexing entries or added additional
attribute types to an existing indexing browsing entries, run the
vlvindex
script to
generate the new set of browsing indexes to be maintained by the Directory Server.
Once you run the script, the new set of browsing indexes is active for any new data
you add to your directory and any existing data in your directory.
To run the
vlvindex
script:
1.
From the command line, change to the following directory:
/usr/netscape/servers/slapd-
serverID
/
where
serverID
is the name of your Directory Server.
2.
Run the
vlvindex
script.
For more information about using this script, refer to Netscape Directory Server
Configuration, Command, and File Reference.
Two examples of generating browsing indexes using the
vlvindex
script follow.
NOTE This first browsing index entry must be added to the
cn=
instanceName
,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
directory tree node and the second entry must be a child of the first
entry.
