Schema Definition Files

Both Active Directory and the partner directory have an associated schema definition file that determines the subset of the directory attributes that are synchronized. Each line in a schema definition file that is either not blank or a comment defines a single directory attribute.

• The first column is a short name or tag for a directory attribute used in the mapping rules, which define how the attributes from one directory correspond to another.
• The second column shows the maximum field length for directory synchronization. The sum of the field lengths of all attributes being synchronized from a directory must not exceed approximately 9,500.
• The third column shows the directory's internal name for the attribute. Often this is the same as the tag.
• The (optional) fourth column is a comment, containing a description.

The following example shows the default GroupWise schema definition file (Gwamap.tbl).
