Using the Windchill DS Control Panel
The following section provides examples on how to find and open the Windchill DS control panel, as well as possible locations of the people node that is used in the examples.
The Windchill DS control panel executable file is available from the following location: WindchillDS\server\bat\control-panel
1. To access LDAP information, log in with cn=<Manager> and the appropriate password.
2. In the sidebar under the Directory Data section, click Manage Entries.
3. Navigate down the tree for the server instance to review the paths for people nodes.
4. Note the node path by clicking each people node. You might have content under more than one node (for example, Administrative LDAP and Enterprise LDAP).
Examples:
ou=people,cn=AdministrativeLdap,cn=serverName,o=ptc
ou=people,cn=EnterpriseLdap,cn=serverName,o=ptc
5. To perform the export, use the command-line tools to export and import data. See
https://java.net/projects/opends/pages/2_2_CommandLineUsageGuide for step‑by-step instructions on how to export and import data with Windchill DS. This link contains the specific steps needed for pre- and post-import and export of Windchill DS data.
