Hi,

I'm preparing for an upgrade to 2.4 release but I've been looking for some documents related to: if it's needed to "dump" and "restore" the whole LDAP database (BDB actually) when changing openldap from 2.3 do 2.4? or perhaps it is irrelevant whether I use 2.3/2.4 BDB remains the same?

You want to slapcat on 2.3, then slapadd on 2.4

AFAICR I did nothing other than reindex my 2.3 directory (db_recover shouldn't be necessary) after going through pangs of WTF?

Best,

--Tonni

Thanks a lot. I will give it a goal.

Regards, Marcin

Well, you were lucky. There are never any guarantees that DB formats will remain compatible between releases, which is why the supported and documented procedure is to use slapcat / slapadd.

It's true though that the DB format in 2.4 is largely the same as in 2.3, with the exception of indexing enhancements made in 2.4.7.
