Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-2077: ---------------------------------------------- Ok, problem fixed : the {{LdifReader}} was correctly fixed but in the case of an empty human readable attribute (like {{ads-baseDn}}), we were trying to store a {{byte[]}} instead of {{""}} in the attribute, which led to a (silentely ignored) error. I fixed that with {{commit 1c8afb1cffff011d6dc16e1d2ab369cd70d49d49}} and {{commit d81e587885309f1f5b5e5efbf30220e8c7c61b1d} for the previous fix. It's still in a branch, I need more tests before moving those fixes to trunk. > Provide tools to migrate the config or the data between releases > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DIRSERVER-2077 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-2077 > Project: Directory ApacheDS > Issue Type: Task > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M20 > Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 2.0.0-M24 > > > We have been lazy in the past, by not provided tools to migrate from one > version to the other, simply because they were milestones. > There are three things we need to migrate : > - configuration > - schemas > - data > for each of those data, we have to provide a tool that helps the migration > from one version to the next one. > Ideally, this should be cumulative : ie, migrating from N to, say, N+3 should > migrate those data from N to N+1, then N+1 to N+2 and finally N+2 to N+3 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
