Environment
Novell eDirectory 8.7.3.9 for Windows 2003
Situation
An import of user entries randomly fails, i.e. different users
can't be added on each attempt. The import is done with the
ice utility. This only appears to happen with a large number
of entries - ten thousand or more. The ice error message
returned is the following:
LBURP operation failed: 19 (Constraint violation), dn:
cn=user1,o=novell
With the ldap option set, the ndstrace log displays this
message:
NDAPaddentry failed (-613)
Resolution
There's a number of possible work-arounds:
- Split up the LDIF into separate files with less than ten thousand user entries.
- Use the continue on error option in ice. Keep running ice until all the entries have been added.
- Try ldapmodify instead.
