<h3 id="rzahyeditattr">Edit an attribute</h3>
<p>Not all schema changes are allowed. See <a href="rzahydisallowschema.htm#rzahydisallowschema">Disallowed schema changes</a> for
change restrictions.</p>
<p>Any part of a definition can be changed before you have added entries that
use the attribute. Use either of the following methods to edit an attribute.
The Web administration tool is the preferred method.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Web administration</span></p>
<p>If you have not done so already, expand <span class="bold">Schema management</span> in the navigation area, then click <span class="bold">Manage attributes</span>. To edit an attribute:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Click the radio button next to the attribute that you want to edit.</li>
<li>Click <span class="bold">Edit </span>.</li>
<li>Select a tab:
<ul>
<li>Use the <span class="bold">General</span> tab to:
<ul>
<li>Select a tab, either:
<ul>
<li><span class="bold">General</span> to:
<ul>
<li>Change the <span class="bold">Description</span></li>
<li>Change the <span class="bold">Syntax</span></li>
<li>Set the <span class="bold">Attribute length</span></li>
<li>Change the <span class="bold">Multiple value</span> settings</li>
<li>Select a <span class="bold">Matching rule</span></li>
<li>Change the <span class="bold">Superior attribute</span></li></ul></li>
<li>Click the <span class="bold">IBM extensions</span> tab to edit the extensions
for the attribute, or click <span class="bold">OK</span> to apply your changes
or click <span class="bold">Cancel</span> to return to <span class="bold">Manage
attributes</span> without making any changes.</li>
<li><span class="bold">IBM extensions</span>, if you are using the IBM Directory
Server, to:
<ul>
<li>Change the <span class="bold">Security class </span></li>
<li>Change the <span class="bold">Indexing rules</span></li></ul></li></ul></li>
<li>Click <span class="bold">OK</span> to apply your changes
or click <span class="bold">Cancel</span> to return to <span class="bold">Manage attributes</span> without making any changes.</li></ul></li></ul></li>
<li>Click <span class="bold">OK</span> to apply the changes
or click <span class="bold">Cancel</span> to return to <span class="bold">Manage attributes</span> without making any changes.</li></ol>
<p><span class="bold">Command line</span></p>
<p>This example adds indexing to the attribute, so that searching on it is
faster. Use the ldapmodify command and the LDIF file to change the definition:</p>
<pre class="xmp">ldapmodify -D &lt;<span class="italic">admindn</span>> -w &lt;<span class="italic">adminpw</span>> -i myschemachange.ldif
</pre><p class="indatacontent">Where the <span class="bold">myschemachange.ldif</span> file contains:</p>
<pre class="xmp">dn: cn=schema
changetype: modify
replace: attributetypes
attributetypes: ( myAttribute-oid NAME ( 'myAttribute' ) DESC 'An attribute
I defined for my LDAP application' EQUALITY 2.5.13.2
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 USAGE userApplications )
-
replace: ibmattributetypes
ibmattributetypes: ( myAttribute-oid DBNAME ( 'myAttrTable' 'myAttrColumn' )
ACCESS-CLASS normal LENGTH 200 EQUALITY SUBSTR )</pre>
<a name="wq319"></a>
<div class="notetitle" id="wq319">Note:</div>
<div class="notebody">Both portions of the definition (<span class="bold">attributetypes</span> and <span class="bold">ibmattributetypes</span>)
must be included in the replace operation, even though only the <span class="bold">ibmattributetypes</span> section is changing. The only change is adding "EQUALITY
SUBSTR" to the end of the definition to request indexes for equality and substring
matching.</div><p class="indatacontent">See <a href="rzahyldapadd.htm#rzahyldapadd">ldapmodify and ldapadd</a> for more information
about this command.</p>
