Example: Using a Group File for Schemas

The Acme Company has a directory that uses a number of DSAs. Each DSA uses the same schema files.

Instead of each DSA initialization file sourcing the schema files directly, the directory administrator uses a group file named Acme.dxg, which sources the schema files. Each DSA initialization file sources Acme.dxg, by including the following line:

source "../schema/Acme.dxg";

If the DSAs require additional schema, the administrator only needs to edit one file, Acme.dxg.

The following diagram shows the configuration files and the source statements:
