This chapter tells how to backup and restore both small and large directories. It contains these topics:
Introduction to Backing Up and Restoring Oracle Internet Directory
Backing Up and Restoring a Small Directory or Specific Naming Context
You can back up a small directory or a specific naming context by using ldifwrite
. For larger directories, perform an Oracle Fusion Middleware backup. See the chapters on backup and recovery in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
To backup and restore a small directory or specific naming context in directory, do the following:
Back up the node, as follows:
Ensure that the environment variable ORACLE_INSTANCE is set correctly.
Ensure all Oracle Internet Directory servers, both LDAP and replication, are stopped on the node.
Enter this command:
ldifwrite connect="connect_string" basedn="naming_context" \ ldiffile="backup.ldif"
Start the directory server on the new node by entering this command:
opmnctl startproc process-type=OID
Load data into the new node by using the bulkload
utility. Enter this command:
bulkload connect="connect_string" check="TRUE" generate="TRUE" \ load="TRUE" restore="TRUE" append="TRUE" file="/complete_path/backup.ldif"
Note:
If you back up data from an earlier version of Oracle Internet Directory, such as 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2), then restore it on a node running 10g (10.1.4.0.1) or later, you must update the password policy entries as described in "Password Policy and Fan-out Replication" on page 30-32.For instructions on backing up and restoring a large directory, see the backup and recovery chapter in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
