2.3.15.7. cn=schema reload task
T he directory schema is loaded when the directory instance is started or restarted. Any changes to the
directory schema, including adding custom schema elements, are not loaded automatically and available
to the instance until the server is restarted or by initiating a schema reload task.
Custom schema changes can be reloaded dynamically, without having to restart the Directory Server
instance. T his is done by initiating a schema reload task through creating a new task entry under the
cn=tasks entry.
T he custom schema file can be located in any directory; if not specified with the
server reloads the schema from the default /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/schem a directory.
IMPORTANT
Any schema loaded from another directory must be copied into the schema directory or the
schema will be lost when the server.
T he 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
T he cn=schem a reload task entry is a container entry for schema reload operations. T he
cn=schem a reload task entry itself has no attributes, but each of the task entries within this entry,
such as cn=task_ID, cn=schem a reload task, cn=tasks, cn=config, uses the schema reload
attributes to define the individual reload task.
cn
T he cn attribute is used to identify a new task operation to initiate. T he cn attribute value can be
anything, as long as it defines a new task.
