Create or Update the Schema

Schema is a set of rules that determine what data can be stored in a directory server. Oracle has its own schema that determines what Oracle entries can be in the directory, as well as the attributes that must and may be associated with the entry. In order to use the directory for Oracle usage, Oracle schema must be present. The Net8 Configuration Assistant allows you to create the Oracle schema.

To create or update the Oracle schema:

  1. Click Directory Service Access configuration in the Welcome page, then click Next. The Directory Service Access page appears.
  2. Click Create or Update Oracle Schema, then click Next. The Directory Service Access, Directory Type page appears.
  3. From the Directory Type list, select the correct directory type for the directory this machine will access.

Note: The procedure varies at this point, depending on whether or not the Net8 Configuration Assistant is able to authenticate with the directory server. The Net8 Configuration Assistant screens and their accompanying help will guide you through the sequence.
