The distributed directory setup tool

The Distributed Directory Setup (ddsetup) tool splits an LDIF file into separate LDIF files that can be loaded onto individual directory servers.

The ddsetup tool can be used in a non-distributed environment to merely split up an LDIF file into separate pieces. The user has the option of splitting the DIT at one or more subtrees, specifying the split points by DN. It uses the proxy server's ibmslapd.conffile to partition entries. The data is split using the partition algorithm specified in ibm-slapdDNPartitionPlugin attribute of the configuration file.
