[Fedora-directory-users] Is it possible to migrate Berkeley 4.2(32bit) based directory to 4.2 (64bit)

[Reinhard Nappert]

Thanks Rick,

You are saying, I have to export it at first.

Initially, I just built 1.1 in 32bit mode (with the identical db
library). With that, I even was just using the same directory and it
worked fine. So, I guess I have to go the export/import way.

Cheers,
-Reinhard

Are you talking about the migration script migrate-ds-admin.pl?  If so,
then yes.  You will first have to export your databases to ldif e.g. for
a Fedora DS 1.0.4 installation:
cd /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/db
../db2ldif -n userRoot -a `pwd`/userRoot.ldif ../db2ldif -n NetscapeRoot
-a `pwd`/NetscapeRoot.ldif ... repeat for each database instance

The migration script will look for a file called
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/db/<db instance name>.ldif and use that
rather than the binary files.

You should also run the migration script with the -x option to force it
to use cross platform mode.
