Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 8.1 Command Reference Manual page 131

IMPORTANT
Any schema loaded from another directory must be copied into the schema directory or
the schema will be lost when the server.
The schema reload task is initiated though the command line by creating a special task entry which
defines the parameters of the task and initiates the task. As soon as the task is complete, the task
entry is removed from the directory. For example:
dn: cn=example schema reload,cn=schema reload task, cn=tasks, cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn:example schema reload
schemadir: /export/schema
The cn=schema reload task entry is a container entry for schema reload operations. The
cn=schema reload task entry itself has no attributes, but each of the task entries within this entry,
such as cn=task_ID, cn=schema reload task, cn=tasks, cn=config, uses the schema reload
attributes to define the individual reload task.
cn
The cn attribute is used to identify a new task operation to initiate. The cn attribute value can be
anything, as long as it defines a new task.
