<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

|
|
<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 <<span class="italic">admindn</span>> -w <<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
|
|

|
|
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 USAGE userApplications )
|
|
-
|
|
replace: ibmattributetypes
|
|
ibmattributetypes: ( myAttribute-oid DBNAME ( 'myAttrTable' 'myAttrColumn' )
|
|

|

<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
