#49070 ldif2db.pl script shows wrong usage for -n as instance, instead of database
Closed: wontfix None Opened 7 years ago by mreynolds.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6): Bug 1400997

Description of problem: Running ldif2db.pl --help shows -n instance, instead of
-n backend database name.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-85


How reproducible: Consistently with RHEL-6.9


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-85 build on RHEL-6.9
2. Create an instance and run ldif2db.pl script to check usage, with --help
3. ldif2db.pl displays wrong usage for -n option.

Actual results: It shows Instance name to be supplied for -n option. Where as
it is expected to be "backend database name".


Expected results: -n backend    - Backend database name.  Example: userRoot

Additional info: This is working with 389-ds-base-1.3.5.10 builds on RHEL7.3.

You have my ack, but I'm waring the reporter's hat... :)

This is the corresponding usage in the master branch. The reporter may complain they don't match. :) :)
print(STDERR " -n backend - Backend database name. Example: userRoot\n");

In the 1.2.11 branch, these "-n instance" are found. You may want to change db2index.pl and db2ldif.pl, as well...
template-db2index.pl.in: print(STDERR " -n instance [-t
template-db2index.pl.in: print(STDERR " : -n instance - instance to be indexed\n");
template-db2ldif.pl.in: print(STDERR " {-n instance} | {-s include} [{-x exclude}] \n");
template-db2ldif.pl.in: print(STDERR " : -n instance - instance to be exported\n");
template-ldif2db.pl.in: print(STDERR " -n instance | {-s include}
[{-x exclude}*] [-O] [-c]\n");
template-ldif2db.pl.in: print(STDERR " : -n instance - instance to be imported to\n");

Good catch, I was going to check them actually, but I got distracted and forgot :(
