Thanks Emmanuel I've got to that bit, and I'm seeing loads of data now, much much better
The only issue now is that it's not in the correct order, and it's failing creating items, when their parent item hasn't been created yet but is further down in the file. We're not passing a -S option, but we are passing a -s, but I don't think that relates to the order of the results, whilst -S does. Any ideas what switch to use to ensure the results follow the correct parent first pattern so I can import it? Thanks again Emmanuel ________________________________________ From: Emmanuel Lécharny [elecha...@gmail.com] Sent: 11 February 2020 13:11 To: dev@directory.apache.org Subject: Re: Importing a backup of data On 11/02/2020 11:24, Davies, Matt wrote: > Hi there > > A colleague of mine recently exported what we believed to be all the data > from a running apacheds v24 server like so > > ldapsearch -h hostname -x -p 10389 -b "dc=org" -s sub "(ObjectClass=)" + > > backup_060220.ldif > > I've then ran through a number of ldif scripts, adding them to a new > installation to build up the same structure on a different machine, but when > I try to add the backup file it's failing right at the start > > ldapadd -h localhost -p 10389 -x -w [PASSWORD] -D "uid=admin,ou=system" -f > /tmp/backup_060220.ldif > > adding new entry "dc=DansOrg2,dc=org" > ldap_add: Object class violation (65) > additional info: OBJECT_CLASS_VIOLATION: failed for MessageType : > ADD_REQUEST > Message ID : 2 > Add Request : > Entry > dn[n]: dc=DansOrg2,dc=org > > subschemaSubentry: cn=schema > createTimestamp: 20191018141712.279Z > entryUUID: a98fa576-d440-49d5-b336-5f175a5c619e > entryDN: dc=DansOrg2,dc=org > nbSubordinates: 2 > entryCSN: 20191018141712.279000Z#000000#001#000000 > entryParentId: 2115906e-3e4d-433e-95f3-3311038027b2 > nbChildren: 2 > creatorsName: 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1=admin,2.5.4.11=system > : ERR_60 Entry dc=DansOrg2,dc=org does not contain a STRUCTURAL ObjectClass > > > Looking at the backup ldif file, there are numerous entries at the beginning > that don't have any objectclass defined, here's the first one > > # DansOrg2.org > dn: dc=DansOrg2,dc=org > entryCSN: 20191018141712.279000Z#000000#001#000000 > nbSubordinates: 2 > nbChildren: 2 > createTimestamp: 20191018141712.279Z > creatorsName: 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1=admin,2.5.4.11=system > subschemaSubentry: cn=schema > entryDN: dc=DansOrg2,dc=org > entryUUID: a98fa576-d440-49d5-b336-5f175a5c619e > entryParentId: 2115906e-3e4d-433e-95f3-3311038027b2 > > We're very new to apacheds, so I don’t know if we're creating the backup > incorrectly, or importing it incorrectly, or a bit of both. > > I don't really understand how it could import without an object class. You specified that you wanted only the operational attributes in your search request ( the '+' at the end of ...-s sub "(ObjectClass=)" +) Replace it with '*', that should do the trick. Or use '*' and '+'. Note : you should normally not specify either of them. The operational attributes are internal attributes that are not necessarily needed (except in some corner cases) and teh default is for a search to return all the other attributes (ie you don't have to add the '*') Hope it helps.
