There are at least three errors in your LDIF
1) the two objectclass values should come together
2) if you meant to add "dc=CLIENT8, dc=MYTESQ, dc=COM",
then the value of the "dc" attr should be "CLIENT8" instead
of "CLIENT8.MYTESQ.COM"; in fact "dc" stands for domain
component, and it holds ONE component of a domain.
3) the attribute(s) and the value(s) used in the RDN (the leftmost
part of the DN) must be present in the entry; according to error (2)
your entry cannot add.

moreover,
4) I suspect you get a "No such object" because the parent entry
of what you're trying to add, "dc=CLIENT8, dc=MYTESQ, dc=COM",
does not exist in your database; create branches before leaves.

and, last but not least, 
5) the DN is "cn=Manager, dc=CLIENT8, dc=MYTESQ, dc=COM"
which is likely not either a dcObject or an organization; but this is
semantics ...

Your entry should look like

dn: dc=CLIENT8, dc=MYTESQ, dc=COM
objectclass: organization
objectclass: dcObject
o: Example Company
dc: CLIENT8

or, depending on what was your intention:

dn: cn=Manager, dc=CLIENT8, dc=MYTESQ, dc=COM
objectclass: person
cn: Manager
sn: Manager
