Description Têko Mihinto 2018-07-15 11:49:20 UTC 
Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/configuration_command_and_file_reference/perl_scripts#Perl_Scripts-bak2db.pl_Restore_database_from_backup


Section Number and Name: 

10.4.1. bak2db.pl (Restores a Database from Backup)


Describe the issue: 

Customer was trying to restore a single database using the Perl script bak2db.pl

RHDS documentation states that restoring a single database should be done with the shell version bak2db and with the server down:

Suggestions for improvement: 

Remove the option "-n" from the bak2db.pl documentation.


Additional information: 

Bug 1601229 - Restoring a single database with bak2db.pl fails.
Comment 4 Marc Muehlfeld 2018-07-16 14:59:31 UTC 
The update is now available on the Customer Portal.
Comment 5 Marc Muehlfeld 2018-07-18 15:09:17 UTC 
I also removed the option from the description of the bak2db shell script and republished the guide.
