Question : cannot import ldif file

Hi,

I'm exporting a .ldif file from sun ds 5.2 to importing it to sun ds 6.3. I have to make some changes in the .ldif file after exporting it.

in 5.2, dc=example,dc=com
in 6.3 dc=misc,dc=example,dc=com (adding dc=misc. can this be correct)

The following is the code. could you tell me what additions I have to make before importing it.

Also, is there any error in the following commands

./dsconf create-suffix -h localhost -p 8389 dc=misc,dc=example,dc=com
./dsconf import -h localhost -p 8389 /export/home/user/Example.ldif dc=misc,dc=example,dc=com

Example.ldif file is the exported file.

Answer : cannot import ldif file

Only have experience with OpenLDAP but I feel your pain so i'll offer up some suggestions. :)

Have you had a read of the DS migration guide? http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2762/dsoutline?a=view
Can you import the file without any changes?
Have you a test environment you could try stuff out on?

In section 3, there in some info about migrating user data manaully with steps:
