Steps to extend the schema if I have no access to the web console

Question

Hello,
I am usin DS 6.2. The web console is not applicable in my case. So I must extend the schema manually.
I want to add an attribute type and an objectclass. I do have a test server and I did
ldapsearch -L -b "cn=schema" objectclass='*'
and then took what I need:
dn: cn=schema
changetype: add
attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.1.333 NAME 'orclnetdescstring' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
objectClasses: ( orclservice-oid NAME 'orclservice' SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST cn MAY orclnetdescstring X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
When I do:
ldapadd -c -h hostname -p 389 -D "cn=Directory manager" -w password -f myldif
adding new entry cn=schema
ldap_add: Object class violation
I tried to add these lines
attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.1.333 NAME 'orclnetdescstring' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40 X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
objectClasses: ( orclservice-oid NAME 'orclservice' SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST cn MAY orclnetdescstring X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
to 99users.ldif and restarted the server. No progress.
any idea please?

You can either use 2 "changetype:modify" operations (not changetype:add since you're trying to modify an existing entry), or you can stop you DS, then edit the 99user.ldif by hand and start it again .
