Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description Nathan Kinder 2013-03-06 18:14:44 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/451

I've started a regular db2ldif backup of my database with:

{{{
/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-cora/db2ldif -n userRoot > /dev/null
/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-cora/db2ldif -n NetscapeRoot > /dev/null
}}}

However, I still get the following output:

{{{
ldiffile: /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-cora/ldif/cora-userRoot-2012_09_07_054839.ldif
[07/Sep/2012:05:48:40 -0600] - export userRoot: Processed 429 entries (100%).
[07/Sep/2012:05:48:41 -0600] - All database threads now stopped

[07/Sep/2012:05:48:41 -0600] - All database threads now stopped
}}}

It would be nice to have it be able to be quiet unless a problem occurred.  This is with 389-ds-base-1.2.10.14-1.el5.
Comment 1 Rich Megginson 2013-10-01 23:25:41 UTC 
moving all ON_QA bugs to MODIFIED in order to add them to the errata (can't add bugs in the ON_QA state to an errata).  When the errata is created, the bugs should be automatically moved back to ON_QA.

QUESTION
-------------
Only Test Case which is not working as expected is :: db2ldif with -q expected to fail, it gives an illusion like its passing, though logs the error in error logs ::
[root@dhcp201-149 ~]# db2ldif -Z slapd-dhcp201-149 -n userRoot -a /export/test1.ldif -q
Exported ldif file: /export/test1.ldif

So, is it OK or should I file another bug for it?

Amita, could you give me some more explanation why the first one (exporting to /export/test.ldif) is supposed to pass and the next one (exporting to /export/tests1.ldif) is not?

I assume you prepared a file /export/test1.ldif with no write permission or something?  If so, as you pointed out, the error is logged in the error log, and 2) you could check the exit status just after the command line execution, which should show non zero.
 
> [root@dhcp201-149 ~]# db2ldif -Z slapd-dhcp201-149 -n userRoot -a /export/test1.ldif -q

# echo $?
255
 
I'd think this is good enough for the DS administrators.

The file itself does not exists - /export/tests1.ldif, that's why it should give an error.

Ok, but as in all other test cases execution gives error/warning on screen with -q, it should also behave in similar way?

But if that's good enough to log in error logs, I will mark the bug as VERIFIED.
Thanks Noriko :)

The file itself does not exists - /export/tests1.ldif, that's why it should give an error.

<== I'm still confused...  This is db2ldif (export).  The path specified with -a is a file to be generated and written by the utility.  That's said, the file /export/tests1.ldif is not expected to exist?  Am I missing something?

<== Thank you, Amita!  Yeah, I'd agree with you that it'd be nicer to show the error in the utility's output.  But what'd happen would be the admin opens the output file /export/tests1.ldif and finds it empty, then s/he'll go to see the error log and/or try to run it without -q and find the cause of the problem.

***************************************************
File can be generated with utility only if user nobody has permissions to write the output file under specified path?
Like "-a /tmp/test1.ldif" should pass AND 
"-a /export/tests1.ldif" should fail due to permission issue. 

NOTE :: Both /export/ami1.ldif and /tmp/ami1.ldif files does not exists.

[root@dhcp201-149 ~]# db2ldif -Z slapd-dhcp201-149 -n userRoot -a /export/ami1.ldif
Exported ldif file: /export/ami1.ldif
ldiffile: /export/ami1.ldif

Please correct me if my understanding is wrong or expected results are different

yeah, bit lengthy procedure for admin to find the actual cause :)
Comment 8 Noriko Hosoi 2014-01-10 18:05:23 UTC 
Aha, in the comment 3, you wanted to put /tmp/test.ldif instead of /export/test.ldif?  And the location of test1.ldif is correctly noted as /export/test1.ldif?  If so, I got it.

Test Case 1 (db2ldif)::
=======================
without -q
-----------
[root@dhcp201-149 ~]# db2ldif -Z slapd-dhcp201-149 -n userRoot -a /export/test.ldif 
Exported ldif file: /export/test.ldif
ldiffile: /export/test.ldif
[08/Jan/2014:17:54:15 +051800] - export userRoot: Processed 9 entries (100%).
[08/Jan/2014:17:54:15 +051800] - All database threads now stopped

with -q expected pass
------------------------
[root@dhcp201-149 ~]# db2ldif -Z slapd-dhcp201-149 -n userRoot -a /export/test.ldif -q
Exported ldif file: /export/test.ldif
[root@dhcp201-149 ~]# vim /export/test.ldif

with -q expected to fail
-------------------------
[root@dhcp201-149 ~]# db2ldif -Z slapd-dhcp201-149 -n userRoot -a /export/test1.ldif -q
Exported ldif file: /export/test1.ldif
