Migrate to Latest Version
Hi,
I'm looking for a clue on migration.
I've got a server running ApacheDS 1.5.7 for like 2 years. And I want to
build a new server and run 2.0.0-M17.
How can I migrate all the data from 1.5.7 to 2.0.0-M17?
Any information will be appreciated.
Regards,
Sunny

One important thing to know : the extracted LDIF file contains unordered
entries. It's very likely that you get some entry present before their
parent.
If you want to import the full data, you have to run the import as many
times as you have levels in your hierarchy. You have to check a box in
the Studio import facility : "continue when you get an error" (from the
top of my head). This will ignore the errors, and keep going with the
import.
The first import will fail to inject all the entries which are not top
level, but will import the top level entry. The second import will fail
to import the top level entry, but will import all the entries directly
under the top level entry, and will fail for any entry under this second
level. Etc.

otherwise the import will fail
how many entries do you have?

feel free to let us know if you still have issues with importing (after
sorting the entries manually)

Thanks for your help, Kiran. But I didn't make it.
I used Apache Directory Studio to export all the subtree from 'dn=company,
dn=com' to a LDIF file. Then I imported that file to the new server but
failed. I couldn't recall the exact error message. But I remember there
were more than 1 errors. After changing the password policy, one of the
errors was gone.
Anyway, my export/import method seemed not working. And I'm worried if the
password attribute could work correctly or not after the export/import. I
need the attribute for user authentication.
Is there other ways to export the data? Or did I do something wrong?
Thanks and regards,
Sunny
