Configure Schema

The ACMA schema is maintained in the ACMA database, and must be configured before you set up the MA. The ACMA schema is very similar to the MIM schema, consisting of Object classes, Attributes, and Attribute bindings. ACMA supports the same attribute types as MIM, with the addition of a native DateTime attribute type, which imports and exports dates in the FIM service date format (ISO8601), but allows you to perform date comparisons and manipulations within ACMA itself.

The schema is modified using the ACMA editor or the PowerShell cmdlets.nfigure the Schema The ACMA schema is maintained in the ACMA database, and must be configured before you set up the MA.

The following pages detail what the elements of the ACMA schema are, and how they are configured.

• Object classes
  • Shadow objects
• Attributes
• Attribute bindings
  • Reference back-linking
• Sequences
• Constants

Once you have defined the schema, you can move on to Configuring the MA.
