> # Initialize Suffix Dialog

> Use this dialog box to initialize or reinitialize a suffix by importing an LDIF (LDAP Data Interchange Format) file. Any existing data in the suffix is first deleted. As the suffix is initialized, all entries will be reindexed according to the suffix's current index configuration.

> If you wish to add the contents of an LDIF file to your suffix without overwriting the existing entries, use the "Import from LDIF" button on the top-level Tasks tab.

> LDIF file. Enter the full path and filename of the LDIF file for initializing the suffix, or click Browse to select a file in the file system of the console host machine.

> The following options are available only when running Directory Server console on a machine other than the directory server host:

> - On console. Choose this option to specify a file that is local to the console machine.

> - On server. Choose this option to specify a file on the server's host machine. If you choose this option, the Browse button is unavailable and you must enter the full path and filename in the text field.

> OK. Click OK to begin initializing the contents of the suffix after confirming that any existing data in the suffix will be overwritten.
