Data Import Overview

By default, the server imports data with a fixed set of parameters. You can change the default behavior in two ways:

• Adjust the appropriate configuration properties for the database to which the data will be imported.

• Use the dsjavaproperties command to set the appropriate Java arguments before running the import-ldif command.

A single thread reads the LDIF file to be imported and places the entries in a queue. The import thread then takes these queued entries and processes them into intermediate binary files that are eventually merged into the database.
