Schema Groups

You usually define schema in a single definition file. All schema definition files reside in the schema configuration directory. When building your directory schema, you typically need definitions from several schema definition files. You can group these schema definition files together in a single file using the source command.

Example: Schema Configuration File

The following is an example schema.dxg file:

# Schema definition file - schema.dxg
source “x500.dxc”;
source “cosine.dxc”;
source “mhs.dxc”;
source “quipu.dxc”;

The initialization file (for instance, Democorp-Host2-democorp.dxi) sources this schema definition.

# DSA initialization file - Democorp-Host2-democorp.dxi
...
# SCHEMA
source “../schema/schema.dxg”;
...
