Exporting Target LDAP Structure from Windchill Directory Server

Windchill 11.1 F000 onward supports Windchill Directory Server version 3.0, in which the append functionality has been removed from the import command compared to previous versions. Export the target LDIF by appending the source LDIF to it, so that the source and target LDAP structures are on the same LDAP server.

For information on exporting source LDAP structure, see Exporting Source LDAP Structure from Windchill Directory Server.

This section includes instructions for exporting from Windchill Directory Server. The export command exports the entire LDAP structure, including all top level nodes and their children.

Make sure that your Windchill Directory Server server is shut down before you execute the export command.
