Destination Handler Options
The destination handler option (-D) specifies the destination of the export data. Only one of the
following can be specified on the command line.
LDIF Source Handler Options
The LDIF source handler reads data from an LDIF file, then sends it to the Novell Import
Conversion Export engine.
-SSCH Specifies that the source is a schema file.
For a list of supported SCH options, see “SCH Source Handler Options” on
page 162
-SLOAD Specifies that the source is a DirLoad template.
For a list of supported LOAD options, see “LOAD Source Handler Options” on
page 162 .
Option Description
-DLDIF Specifies that the destination is an LDIF file.
For a list of supported options, see “LDIF Destination Handler Options” on
page 156 .
-DLDAP Specifies that the destination is an LDAP server.
For a list of supported options, see “LDAP Destination Handler Options” on
page 158 .
-DDELIM Specifies that the destination is a comma-delimited file.
For a list of supported options, see “DELIM Destination Handler Options” on
page 161 .
Option Description
-f LDIF_file Specifies a filename containing LDIF records read by the LDIF source handler and
sent to the engine.
If you omit this option on Linux, Solaris, or AIX systems, the input will be taken from
stdin.
-a If the records in the LDIF file are content records (that is, they contain no
changetypes), they will be treated as records with a changetype of add.
-c Prevents the LDIF source handler from stopping on errors. This includes errors on
parsing LDIF and errors sent back from the destination handler. When this option is
set and an error occurs, the LDIF source handler reports the error, finds the next
record in the LDIF file, then continues.
-n Does not perform update operations, but prints what would be done. When this
option is set, the LDIF source handler parses the LDIF file but does not send any
records to the Novell Import Conversion Export engine (or to the destination
handler).
