Option Description

be used with or without the -i option.
-D bindDn Specifies the Directory Server's bind DN. Defaults
to cn=Directory Manager if the option is
omitted.
-h host Specifies the Directory Server's host. This
defaults to the server where the script is running.
-i changelogFile Specifies the path to the changelog file. If there is
a changelog file and if certain changes in that file
are base-64 encoded, use this option to decode
that changelog.
-o outputFile Specifies the path, including the filename, for the
final result. Defaults to STDOUT if omitted.
-p port Specifies the Directory Server's port. The default
value is 389.
-P bindCert Specifies the path, including the filename, to the
certificate database that contains the certificate
used for binding.
-r replicaRoots Specifies the replica-roots whose changelog to
dump. When specifying multiple roots, use
commas to separate roots. If the option is omitted,
all the replica roots will be dumped.
-v Prints the version of the script.
-w bindPassword Specifies the password for the bind DN.

7.3.4 . db2ldif (Exports Database Contents to LDIF)
Exports the contents of the database to LDIF. This script can be executed while the server is still
running, except with the -r option. To export the replication state information, shut down the server first,
then run db2ldif with -r.
For information on the equivalent Perl script, see Section 7.4.5, “db2ldif.pl (Exports Database Contents to
LDIF)” .
For the shell scripts, the script runs the ns-slapd command-line utility with the db2ldif keyword. Ellipses
(...) indicate that multiple occurrences are allowed.
Syntax
db2ldif [[ -n backendInstance ] | [ -s includeSuffix ]] [ [ -x excludeSuffix ] ] [ -r ] [ -C ] [ -u ] [ -U
] [ -m ] [ M ] [ -a outputFile ] [ -1 ] [ -N ] [ -E ]
