I was given the project to update some (very) old IBM TDS 6.1 servers to IBM SDS 6.4 servers... Obviously doing a direct migration is impossible so I first migrate the the IBM TDS 6.1 server to an IBM 6.3 TDS server and then from the IBM TDS 6.3 server to the IBM SDS 6.4 server...

But I'm encountering a problem when I do the migration... When I try to migrate the instance from IBM TDS 6.1 to IBM TDS 6.3 (using the command: "./idsimigr -I test_ds -u /tmp/ldapsaveconf -n") The command fails with the error:
06/22/19 10:19:21 GLPMIG004E Cannot read V3.modifiedschema file in the '/home/test_ds/idsslapd-test_ds/etc' directory.
and then goes on and removes the istance:
06/22/19 10:19:21 GLPIDP002I Deleting directory server instance: 'test_ds'.


We have modified the Schema inserting the changes into 'V3.modifiedschema'.
I noticed that at a certain point while the command "./idsimigr -I test_ds -u /tmp/ldapsaveconf -n" is executing the file 'V3.modifiedschema' gets emptied and immediately after that the migration fails...

Another thing I find interesting is that just before the error:
"06/22/19 10:19:21 GLPMIG004E Cannot read V3.modifiedschema file in the '/home/test_ds/idsslapd-test_ds/etc' directory."
The log shows the message:
"06/22/19 10:19:21 GLPMIG025I Successfully migrated the configuration file from version '6.2' to version '6.3'."

on the same TDS server I successfully migrated a different instance in which the schema wasn't modified...

Anyone knows why this is happening and how I can fix this?

I would either raise a PMR/Case with IBM support to find the real problem. Alternatively you can ask the IBM UG Community which is the IBM recommended forum for IAM questions : https://community.ibm.com/community/user/security/communities/community-home/digestviewer?tab=digestviewer&CommunityKey=e7c36119-46d7-42f2-97a9-b44f0cc89c6d

I seem to remember that some changes to the standard schema was performed in some release - and that may conflict with v3.modifiedschema - i.e. there may be overlap or inconsistencies between attributes/objectclasses/oids etc.
