Setting up LDSU Instances (Imports and Exports)

This chapter contains the steps for setting up a single LDSU "instance". An "instance" is a single run of LDSU which does an import or export against an LDAP directory.

To create an instance, run the command file ldsu_create_instance in the LDSU "bin" subdirectory. This will do the following actions:

Next, based on your design, edit the following files:

If any User Written procedures are required, create those as well. See User Written Procedures section.

You are now ready to get your data and begin testing and running this LDSU instance. See running LDSU section.

Running LDSU_CREATE_INSTANCE

To run the ldsu_create_instance procedure do the following from the LDSU root directory (depending on the operating system):

Windows NT bin\ldsu_create_instance <name> <type>
UNIX bin/ldsu_create_instance <name> <type>
OpenVMS @[.bin]ldsu_create_instance <name> <type>

where:

<name>
is the subdirectory name. This should be a descriptive name that describes the instance. Although it must follow the rules of a legal directory name for the operating system (usually no spaces,dots). Good examples would be export_exchange, import_profs.
<type>
is the instance type. Allowable values are IMPORT, TRANSACTION, EXPORT, CHANGES, EXPORT1, and CHANGES1. Parameter can be Upper, Lower, or Mixed Case. (Except on Unix where the case must match the template file name.)

Note: You may create your own ldsu_config.dat template by creating a file in the templates directory called ldsu_config_XXXX.dat where XXXX would be the name of the instance type. Or edit the existing templates if desired.

Examples:

bin\ldsu_create_instance export_exchange export

On Windows NT, create an instance to export data out of exchange.

bin/ldsu_create_instance import_hr_to_x500 import

On Unix, create an instance to import HR Data to X.500

@[.bin]ldsu_create_instance export_dir1_to_mail1 changes1

On OpenVMS, create an instance to export changes in DIR1 for MAIL1
