Safely remove an attribute type definition from the server schema.
The tool will perform an appropriate set of validation before actually removing the attribute type from the schema. The below conditions must be satisfied before the attribute type may be removed.
* The requester must have the update-schema privilege.
* The attribute type must not be referenced by any other schema element.
* The attribute type must not be defined in any schema file that is included with the Directory Server. Only custom attribute types may be removed from the schema.
* The attribute type must not be referenced in the server configuration (for example, it must not be indexed by any backend).
* The attribute type must not be present in any entry that exists in any backend.
This tool schedules an operation to run within the Directory Server's process. LDAP connection options must be supplied that allow this tool to communicate with the server through its task interface. Tasks can be scheduled to run immediately or at a later time (see Task Scheduling Options below). Once scheduled, tasks can be managed using the manage-tasks tool.
Attempts to remove the 'noLongerNeededCustomAttr' attribute type from the server schema:
remove-attribute-type-from-schema --hostname directory.example.com --port 636 \
--useSSL --trustStorePath config/truststore \
--bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com --bindPasswordFile admin-pw.txt \
--attribute noLongerNeededCustomAttr
