WindchillDS Import

In WindchillDS 11.0, there is an Append to existing Data button which has been required in past upgrades to bring in the older version LDIF file into the current version.

In Windchill 11.1 M020, that button is not there. When I did an import of my 11.0 LDIF, it overwrote the whole LDAP and the UpgradeManager now fails.

How do we import/Append the LDIF from Windchill 11.0 into Windchill 11.1?

You append on Export not Import.

 

1. Export from source system

1a. Export OOTB ldif from target as a backup

2. Copy export from source to a folder on target system

3. Export from target to append to the source system ldif you copied to a folder on target

4. Import to target the file you just appended to.

 

That’s it!
