Hi!
I had reported about trouble when upgrading the openldap from SLES11 SP4 to that from SLES12 SP3. Besides the version jump, SUSE also removed some modules that had been static in SLES11, so that they need to be loaded dynamically now. Besides that, the bdb version was updated as well, and some other minor things.
The OpenLDAP project has long recommended against using distribution provided builds for a variety of reasons. You've just excellent summarized another reason why they should be avoided -- You have no control over whether or not they will change how they build the software and thus utterly destroy a working deployment.
What you will have to do:
a) Use slapcat with the older SLES build to export your cn=config database b) Update the resulting LDIF so that it works correctly with the new SLES build c) Import it with the new SLES slapd
None of this is a problem with OpenLDAP. Everything about this is a problem with SLES.
