fact
Novell eDirectory 8.7 for All Platforms
Novell eDirectory 8.6 for All Platforms
symptom
Error: "Invalid API"
cause
The administaration guide for eDirectory 8.7 (Table 4 entitled "DSREPAIR Versions" in the section "Updating the eDirectory Schema for Netware") states that if you are running NDS version 8.51 or later, you should copy the DSREPAIR.NLM from the PATCHES\DSREPAIR\NWNDS8\ directory and run the Post Netware 5 Schema Update option. This statement is misleading in that DS 8.51 or later is for NDS 8 only. It does not include eDirectory 8.5, eDirectory 8.6 or eDirectory 8.7. (There is similar documentation in the "Updating the eDirectory Schema for Windows NT/2000" section. This solution applies to that system as well.) The version of DSREPAIR.NLM that ships in the above directory is DSREPAIR for eDirectory 8.7. Although this is not a necessary step if you are running eDirectory 8.6.x or higher, the operation itself should work.
fix
This should not be an issue. If eDirectory 8.6.2 or higher is on the server in question, this step can safely be skipped.
This problem has been reported to development.
