Description:

This Snap renames an entry from a given old name to its new name. In the LDAP v2, this corresponds to the modify RDN operation that renames an entry within the same context (that is renaming a sibling). In the LDAP v3, this corresponds to the modify DN operation, which is like modify RDN, except that the old and new entries need not be in the same context.

  • Expected upstream Snaps: Upstream Snap can be given. File reader followed by any file parser  followed by Structure.
  • Expected downstream Snaps: Any file  Formatter followed by File Writer.
  • Expected input: Old name, New name
  • Expected output: This Snap will give the output data as status of entered New name that the Old name is renamed to New name or not.

A DN is a sequence of relative distinguished names (RDN) connected by commas. An RDN is an attribute with an associated value in the form attribute=value, normally expressed in a UTF-8 string format. The following lists typical RDN attribute types as: DC = domainComponent, CN = commonName, OU = organizationalUnitName,O = organizationName, STREET = streetAddress, L = localityName,ST = stateOrProvinceName, C = countryName, UID = userid.
ExampleCN=AbcUser,CN=Users,DC=server,DC=gaianlabs,DC=com

Default value: [None]


New entry


Required. The New name is the DN value of an entry. Please refer to the Old name property for the description of  DN and RDN values.
ExampleCN=NewAbcUser,CN=Users,DC=server,DC=gaianlabs,DC=com

Default value: [None]

Default value: Not selected

  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

4.23 Patch423patches8210 Latest

Fixes an issue of fetching search records in the Active Directory Search Snap by adding a new field, Limit, to specify the number of search records to be fetched from the Active Directory.

  • Previously the Page Size field worked similar to the Limit field, that is, it sets the limit on fetching records instead of fetching all the records. 
  • The Active Directory Search Snap output now displays the number of records that you specify in the Limit field under Settings. If your Pipelines use the Snap with the Page Size field, they may fail to execute if the downstream Snap expects the same count. To retrieve all the records, configure the Snap with default settings, that is, Limit: 0 and Page Size: 1000.
4.23 Patch423patches7454 Latest

Adds the Pass through check box in all the Snaps to include pass-through functionality. Select this check box to embed the upstream input documents under the original field of the output document along with other records.
