Identifying Custom Schema - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.1 Installation Manual

Migration Prerequisites
• Check the command syntax for the migration script in chapter
"Command-Line Scripts" of the Netscape Directory Server Configuration,
Command, and File Reference.
• If you have defined custom schema, read the next section, "Identifying Custom
Schema," on page 78.

Identifying Custom Schema

If you customized the schema in your legacy Directory Server by modifying
slapd.at.conf
cannot migrate your custom schema for you. Instead, you are notified during
migration that you have modified the standard schema and that you need to
manually fix the problem. The migration process then saves a copy of your schema
files and uses standard legacy schema files in their place.
While the migration will complete in this situation, you will probably find that you
cannot modify your data in Directory Server 6.x. Therefore, you are strongly
recommended to copy your custom schema into separate files before you perform
the migration. You can use the standard
slapd.user_at.conf
and
userat
down.
To separate your custom schema from your standard schema:
Examine your old

To ensure that you have properly identified all your changes to standard files,
you can compare them with the standard files provided in the

Move your custom schema elements to the following files:

serverRoot/slapd-serverID/config/slapd.user_at.conf and
serverRoot/slapd-serverID/config/slapd.user_oc.conf
These file names are recommended because the 4.x schema configuration
editor writes to them. However, you can use any file name you like.
Note that if there are inheritance relationships between custom defined object
classes, you must ensure that in the order in which they appear in the schema
configuration file, the superior object class is defined before the others.
