[389-users] Preserving create & modifyTimestamp during import

Hi,

I need to import sub-suffix into the existing suffix on a running
server. When I use:

dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w "$pswd" ldap://localhost backend
import userRoot sub-suffix.ldif

than userRoot is truncated and later import fails with error:

[13/Apr/2021:15:08:41.180921374 +0200] - WARN - import_foreman - import
userRoot: Skipping entry "o=sub,o=suffix" which has no parent, ending at
line 36 of file "/root/sub-suffix.ldif"

One way is to dump existing userRoot and later re-import complete backend:

dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w "$pswd" ldap://localhost backend
import userRoot suffix.ldif sub-suffix.ldif

But that means downtime I'm trying to avoid.

Other import way is use ldapadd but that means that server replaces
operational attributes:
creatorsName
modifiersName
createTimestamp
modifyTimestamp

Is there a way how to import sub-suffix into existing and running server
and preserve those operational attributes at the same time?

Thanks
