Input File

-i InputFile directs commdirmig to read a user-created text file, InputFile, which contains a list of commdirmig options and arguments. commdirmig uses the information in the file to migrate the directory.

The command-line version of an option overrides the InputFile version of the same option. That is, if you enter an option in the command line and the same option exists in the InputFile, commdirmig uses the command-line option and ignores the option in the InputFile.

Formatting the Input File

The InputFile is a new-line separated ASCII text file. For each option to be specified in the InputFile, type the option letter, then a space, then the option arguments. Do not type a dash (-) before the option letters.

In the following example, an InputFile named commdirmig.input.txt specifies the Directory Server login ID and a file containing the password of the Directory Server user, the Directory Server host name and port number, and the OSI root and DC root:

D "cn=Directory Manager"
w /opt/SUNWcomm/passwd
X ldaphost
p 389
b "o=isp"
r "o=internet"

Uses of the Input File

If you use this option, you do not have to type all the options in the command line when you run the utility. Also, you can edit and reuse the InputFile, which makes it easier to run the utility multiple times. For example, you can do the following:

• Run the utility once to migrate a test directory and later to migrate the production directory.

• Migrate several domains, one at a time.

  Before you reuse the file, alter the -d or -f option to point to the domains or the directory you intend to migrate.

• Migrate to Schema 2, compatibility mode, and later to Schema 2, native mode. Before you perform the second migration, alter the -t option to specify the correct target Schema version and mode.

Example

commdirmig -i /home/user/commdirmig.input.txt
