Class CompareLDAPSchemas


  • @ThreadSafety(level=NOT_THREADSAFE)
    public final class CompareLDAPSchemas
    extends MultiServerLDAPCommandLineTool
    This class implements a command-line tool that can be used to retrieve the schemas from two LDAP servers and identify any differences between them.
    NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

    Comparisons that this tool may perform include:
    • Definitions that are present in one server but not another.
    • Corresponding definitions with the same OID but different names or sets of names.
    • Corresponding definitions with different descriptions, obsolete state, or sets of extensions.
    • Corresponding attribute types with differences in syntaxes, matching rules, superior type, single-valued/multivalued behavior, usage, collective state, or NO-USER-MODIFICATION state.
    • Corresponding object classes with differences in required or optional attributes, superior class, or object class type.
    • Corresponding DIT content rules with differences in required, optional, or prohibited attributes, or allowed auxiliary classes.
    • Corresponding name forms with differences in structural class, required attributes, or optional attributes.
    • Corresponding DIT structure rules with different name form IDs or superior rule IDs.
    • Corresponding matching rule uses with different sets of applicable attribute types.

        Runs this tool with the provided set of arguments, using the default streams for standard output and standard error.
        Parameters:
        args - The command-line arguments to use to run this program. It must not be null, but may be empty.
      • main

        @NotNull
        public static ResultCode main​(@Nullable
                                      java.io.OutputStream out,

                                      java.lang.String... args)
        Runs this tool with the provided set of arguments, using the provided streams for standard output and standard error.
        Parameters:
        out - The output stream to use for standard output. It may be null if standard output should be suppressed.
        err - The output stream to use for standard error. It may be null if standard error should be suppressed.
        args - The command-line arguments to use to run this program. It must not be null, but may be empty.
        Returns:
        The result code with information about the result of processing. A result code of SUCCESS indicates that all processing completed successfully and no differences were identified. A result code of COMPARE_FALSE indicates that all processing completed successfully, but one or more differences were identified between the server schemas. Any other result code indicates that some problem occurred during processing.
      • getToolName

        @NotNull
        public java.lang.String getToolName()
        Retrieves the name of this tool. It should be the name of the command used to invoke this tool.
        Specified by:
        getToolName in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        The name for this tool.
      • includeAlternateLongIdentifiers

        protected boolean includeAlternateLongIdentifiers()
        Indicates whether the LDAP-specific arguments should include alternate versions of all long identifiers that consist of multiple words so that they are available in both camelCase and dash-separated versions.
        Overrides:
        includeAlternateLongIdentifiers in class MultiServerLDAPCommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool should provide multiple versions of long identifiers for LDAP-specific arguments, or false if not.
      • supportsInteractiveMode

        public boolean supportsInteractiveMode()
        Indicates whether this tool should provide support for an interactive mode, in which the tool offers a mode in which the arguments can be provided in a text-driven menu rather than requiring them to be given on the command line. If interactive mode is supported, it may be invoked using the "--interactive" argument. Alternately, if interactive mode is supported and CommandLineTool.defaultsToInteractiveMode() returns true, then interactive mode may be invoked by simply launching the tool without any arguments.
        Overrides:
        supportsInteractiveMode in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool supports interactive mode, or false if not.
      • supportsPropertiesFile

        public boolean supportsPropertiesFile()
        Indicates whether this tool supports the use of a properties file for specifying default values for arguments that aren't specified on the command line.
        Overrides:
        supportsPropertiesFile in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool supports the use of a properties file for specifying default values for arguments that aren't specified on the command line, or false if not.
      • supportsOutputFile

        protected boolean supportsOutputFile()
        Indicates whether this tool should provide arguments for redirecting output to a file. If this method returns true, then the tool will offer an "--outputFile" argument that will specify the path to a file to which all standard output and standard error content will be written, and it will also offer a "--teeToStandardOut" argument that can only be used if the "--outputFile" argument is present and will cause all output to be written to both the specified output file and to standard output.
        Overrides:
        supportsOutputFile in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool should provide arguments for redirecting output to a file, or false if not.
      • supportsDebugLogging

        protected boolean supportsDebugLogging()
        Indicates whether this tool supports the ability to generate a debug log file. If this method returns true, then the tool will expose additional arguments that can control debug logging.
        Overrides:
        supportsDebugLogging in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if this tool supports the ability to generate a debug log file, or false if not.
      • logToolInvocationByDefault

        protected boolean logToolInvocationByDefault()
        Indicates whether to log messages about the launch and completion of this tool into the invocation log of Ping Identity server products that may include it. This method is not needed for tools that are not expected to be part of the Ping Identity server products suite. Further, this value may be overridden by settings in the server's tool-invocation-logging.properties file.

        This method should generally return true for tools that may alter the server configuration, data, or other state information, and false for tools that do not make any changes.
        Overrides:
        logToolInvocationByDefault in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        true if Ping Identity server products should include messages about the launch and completion of this tool in tool invocation log files by default, or false if not.
      • getToolCompletionMessage

        @Nullable
        protected java.lang.String getToolCompletionMessage()
        Retrieves an optional message that may provide additional information about the way that the tool completed its processing. For example if the tool exited with an error message, it may be useful for this method to return that error message.

        The message returned by this method is intended for informational purposes and is not meant to be parsed or programmatically interpreted.
        Overrides:
        getToolCompletionMessage in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        An optional message that may provide additional information about the completion state for this tool, or null if no completion message is available.
      • getExampleUsages

        @NotNull
        public java.util.LinkedHashMap<java.lang.String[],​java.lang.String> getExampleUsages()
        Retrieves a set of information that may be used to generate example usage information. Each element in the returned map should consist of a map between an example set of arguments and a string that describes the behavior of the tool when invoked with that set of arguments.
        Overrides:
        getExampleUsages in class CommandLineTool
        Returns:
        A set of information that may be used to generate example usage information. It may be null or empty if no example usage information is available.
