Performing an Import From the Console
When you perform an import operation from the Directory Server Console, an
ldapmodify
operation is executed to append data, as well as to modify and delete
entries. The operation is performed on all of the databases managed by your
Directory Server, and on remote databases to which your Directory Server has a
configured database link.
You must be logged in as the Directory Manager in order to perform an import.
