Moving Groups from LDAP Server to Windchill Database
Starting with Windchill 12.0.1.0, the directory server is not bundled with the new Windchill deployment. If you are upgrading or updating to Windchill 12.0.2.0 release, all groups from default LDAP of the source is moved to Database. Manually created groups can be stored in the database or V3 compliant directory server of your choice. In this case, you have the option to move the groups from the earlier supported Windchill Directory Server to the Windchill database. The Participant Administration utility provides the action (Move Groups from Directory Server to Windchill) to move the selected groups to the Windchill database.
