2.When ldifwrite command is run with correct oid Password it fails in with last message as below:
$ ldifwrite -c "<TNS_ALIAS>" -b "cn=Groups,dc=<COMPANY NAME>,dc=com" -f /tmp/Groups_prod.ldif
This tool can only be executed if you know database user password for OiD
Enter OiD Password ::
------------------------------------------------------------
Reading entries under BaseDN "cn=groups,dc=<COMPANY NAME>,dc=com"...
------------------------------------------------------------
Changes
In this case it works if used below command where -f uses a file in same directory instead of
"/tmp/raj/Groups_prod.ldif". This might be due to directory/file permissions.
$ ldifwrite -c "<TNS_ALIAS> -b "cn=Groups,dc=<COMPANY NAME>,dc=com" -f Groups_prod.ldif
