Scheduling LDIF export as a recurring task

You can create an LDIF export recurring task and add it to a recurring task chain to automate the export with a custom schedule. Learn more in LDIF export as a recurring task.

To create a recurring LDIF export task:

Steps

  1. Sign on to the admin console.

  2. In the sidebar, select Configuration, and in the Core section, select Recurring Tasks.

    Screen capture of the Configuration page with Recurring Tasks highlighted in the Core section.

    1. Click New Recurring Task and select LDIF Export Recurring Task.

    2. In the Name field, enter the desired name of the task.

    3. Populate the rest of the task’s properties according to the tooltips.

      You must configure a value for either the Retain Previous LDIF Export Count field, which specifies the minimum number of previous LDIF exports preserved after a new export, or the Retain Previous LDIF Export Age field, which specifies the minimum age of previous LDIF exports preserved after a new export. If each of these properties has a value, then only LDIF exports failing to satisfy both criteria are candidates for removal.

    4. Click Save.

  3. In the Core section of the Configuration page, click Recurring Task Chains.

    1. Click New Recurring Task Chain.

    2. In the Name field, enter the desired name of the task chain.

    3. In the Recurring Task list, select your newly created recurring task.

    4. Enter the scheduling details according to the tooltips.
