About Aphelion and LDAP backup WNC8.0

Dear fellow Windchill System Administrators,

We are on WNC 8.0 M030 and have taken backup of LDAP successfully using the following in the windchill shell:

• windchill com.infoengine.util.LDAPExport -dir F:\ptc\Windchill_8.0 -ldiffile G:\Name of location folder\desired_name.ldif

Target Branch LDAP backup:-

• windchill com.infoengine.util.LDAPExport -dir F:\ptc\Windchill_8.0 -ldiffile G:\LDAP_Backup_250416\SM_Target_LDAP_Backup_250416.ldif -reldn "dc=in"

QUESTION:Please let me know if Aphelion backup is necessary apart from the above LDAP backup.

Am aware that WNC8 uses aphelion for user & password management with LDAP as the protocol and Windchill10.0 onwards everything is based on - Windchill Directory Service.

Thanks,

~Amol
