This article was previously published under Q185155

SUMMARY

Using directory export, it is possible to extract all connector information from the directory to a CSV file. This can be useful for analyzing connector information, because unlike saving the routing information, all option fields are exposed.

MORE INFORMATION

A command line export needs to be used to extract the connector information. The following is an example of the command line:

Admin /E <export file> /O <option file>

The option file used should look like the following example:
   [export]
   ExportObject=All
   Subcontainers=Yes
   Basepoint=/o=<Your Org Name>/ou=<Our Site Name>/cn=Configuration
   Container=Connections
				

The Export CSV file can contain any or all of the following connector related fields in the header:

Obj-Class
Delivery-Mechanism
Directory Name
Home-MTA
Home-Server
