5.4.2 Managing GDS

GDS provides the following functions for management tasks:

• Administrative Functions

This directory management function, which is available after logging into a DSA,

supports administration of the contents of the GDS database, both local and remote.

You can choose from the four types of administration functions in the following list.

These administration functions allow you to administer objects, shadows, trees, and

schema for your directory service system. A GDS schema is a set of rules and

constraints for tree structure, object class deﬁnitions, attribute types, and syntaxes

that characterize the Directory Information Tree (DIT).

— Object Administration

This function controls objects and changes their attributes.

— Schema Administration

This function modiﬁes the Object Class Table, Structure Rule Table, and

Attribute Table to store a new schema in the Directory System Agent.

— Shadow Administration

This function executes, schedules, or modiﬁes shadow jobs for updating.

— Tree Administration

This function adds, deletes, or modiﬁes subtrees.

• Administrative Functions Under the DUA Cache

This directory management function supports the administration of the contents of

the local DUA cache database. You can choose from the two types of administration

functions in the following list. These administration functions allow you to

administer the objects stored in the local DUA cache database and the cache update

job.
