Behavioral Changes in Directory Server Enterprise Edition

This section describes the behavioral changes that were made in Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition11g R1 (11.1.1.5.0).

Replica Update Vector in LDIF

Starting with Directory Server Enterprise Edition 11gR1 (11.1.1.5.0), the export processes dsadm export and dsconf export always put the Replica Update Vector (RUV) at the beginning of the exported LDIF file.

Change of Schema Definition

The schema definition for changeNumber (as used in the retro-changelog) has changed to include the SINGLE-VALUE specifier, causing the attribute to accept only one value.

Changes in Error Log Output

The dsadm export and dsconf export messages, and the dsadm reindex and dsconf reindex messages now use the same format used by the dsadm import and dsconf import messages. A message is generated every 20 seconds instead of every 1000 processed entries. Moreover, some statistics are now explicitly reported.

Change in Product Layout

Since Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0, the product layout changed as follows:

• All commands are available in install-path/dsee7/bin.

• The plug-ins are available in install-path/dsee7/lib.
