    Hi David,

    LDAP schema dictates how the attribute specific tables are built. Once after the tables are initialized, just replacing the schema files will not help in updating the table/column definitions. We must do a synch procedure which will update not just the schema but get correct db2 table/column definitions and in addition update any corresponding data. And this must be done offline, when ldap server processes is stopped.

    There are two methods you can use:

    1. Use idsdbback on Master1, transfer the entire backup folder from Master1 to Master2, then idsdbrestore(along with -r flag) on Master2. 

    2. Alternatively, follow the sequence as in this tech note:
      https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/394231

    If you need more detailed instructions, please proceed to open a case with "Directory server" support.
