ProcedureTo Fix Schema Compliance Problems

When an entry does not conform to the schema, it might not be possible to search for this entry, and modification operations on the entry might fail. Follow the steps in this procedure to correct the problem.

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.

Before You Begin

To avoid having to fix schema compliance issues, plan your schema ahead of your deployment to minimize schema changes. For more information, see the Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Deployment Planning Guide.

  1. To determine why the entry does not comply, retrieve the entry and manually compare it with the currently defined schema.

    See To View Attribute Types and To View an Object Class for details.

  2. Modify the entry so that it complies with the schema, or modify the schema so that it complies with the entry.
