Note:

Unless you have installed the PeopleSoft Directory Interface product, you might not have any PeopleSoft schema extensions available to you.

Note:

The Schema Management page enables you to add PeopleSoft-delivered object classes and attribute types to your directory. If you add attributes and object classes using the Schema Management page, you must also delete them using this page.

When you click a schema extension Details button, the system displays the details of that extension.

Also of interest is the Type detail, which indicates whether the schema extension is a mandatory, optional, or auxiliary extension.

For convenience, you can use the Schema Cache Process link to transfer you to the Schema Cache page so that you can invoke the Schema Cache process. Last Update Date/Time and Last Update User ID enable you to monitor the frequency of updates as well as the last administrator to run the process.
