4.5 Using the eMBox Client to Perform Schema
Operations
The eDirectory Management Toolbox (eMBox) Client is a command line Java client that gives you
remote access to DSSchema operations. You can use the DSSchema eMTool to synchronize schema,
import remote schema, declare a new schema epoch, reset the local schema, and perform a global
schema update (operations normally performed using DSRepair. For more information, see
Section
10.6, “Maintaining the Schema,” on page 262 .).
The emboxclient.jar file is installed on your server as part of eDirectory. You can run it on any
machine with a JVM. For more information on the eMBox Client, see
Section 18.1, “Using the
eMBox Command Line Client,” on page 531 .
4.5.1 Using the DSSchema eMTool
1 Run the eMBox Client in interactive mode by entering the following at the command line:
java -cp path_to_the_file/ emboxclient.jar embox -i
(If you have already put the emboxclient.jar file in your class path, you only need to enter
java embox -i
.)
The eMBox Client prompt appears:
eMBox Client>
2 Log in to the server you want to repair by entering the following:
login -s server_name_or_IP_address -p port_number
-u username.context -w password -n
The port number is usually 80 or 8028, unless you have a Web server that is already using the
port. The -n option opens a nonsecure connection.
The eMBox Client indicates whether the login is successful.
3
Enter a repair command, using the following syntax:
dsschema.
task options
For example:
dsschema.rst requests the master replica of the root of the tree to synchronize its schema to this
server.
dsschema.irs -n
MyTree imports remote schema from the tree named MyTree.
A space must be between each switch. The order of the switches is not important.
The eMBox Client will indicate whether the repair is successful.
See
“DSSchema eMTool Options” on page 127 for more information on the DSSchema
eMTool options.
4 Log out from the eMBox Client by entering the following command:
logout
5 Exit the eMBox Client by entering the following command:
exit
