Overview
The PDB backend was introduced in OpenDJ 3, deprecated in DS 5 and removed in DS 6. Before upgrading to DS 6, you must convert your PDB backend to a JE backend. See Release Notes › What's New for further information.
This does not affect the embedded DS/OpenDJ in AM/OpenAM as that uses the JE backend by default.
