Merging the GroupWise Systems
The information in this section helps you to merge Site #2 into Site #1. The Merge Planning
Worksheet contains all the information the merge process prompts you for. (If you have several
worksheets because you are merging three or more systems, you will only use one worksheet each
time you follow the steps in this section.) Some tasks apply only to systems that cannot be directly
connected. If you selected
Yes for worksheet item 1 , be sure you are using the worksheet for the
GroupWise
®
system being merged.
Do the following tasks to merge Site #2 into Site #1.

11.1 Creating External Domains for Both
Systems
This section applies only if the systems you are merging are not already connected through external
domains (
worksheet item 4 ).
Both the Site #1 and Site #2 administrators must create an external domain to represent the domain
structure in the corresponding system. In other words, if you are the Site #1 administrator, you will
create Site #2 external domains in your system to represent the domains in Site #2. If you are the
Site #2 administrator, you will create Site #1 external domains in your system to represent the
domains in Site #1.
