15.2.2.3 Creating Like Schema Object Classes

Oracle Directory Services Manager provides the ability to create new Oracle Virtual Directory schema object classes that are similar— or like—an existing object class. This ability is known as Create Like. When you create a new object class like an existing object class, you select an existing object class to base the new one on and then you modify the base object class’s definitions to make it unique. Perform the following steps to create an object class like an existing object class using Oracle Directory Services Manager: 1. Log in to Oracle Directory Services Manager.

2. Select Schema from the task selection bar. The Attribute Types and Object Classes

navigation tree appears. 3. Expand the Object Classes entry. A list of the existing schema object classes appears. 4. Click the existing object class on which to base the new object class.

5. Click the Create Like button at the top of the tree. The base object class’s

definitions appear. 6. Modify the base object class’s definitions as desired to create the new object class. You must modify the base object class’s Name and Object ID definitions to create a valid new object class. 15-14 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Virtual Directory

7. Click OK on the dialog box to create the new object class. The new object class

appears in the Object Classes tree.
