In the Merge External Systems dialog box, click Yes to indicate that you want the Site #2

If you don’t have access to the domain’s eDirectory tree, select
No , then click Next . After you
merge the domain, you need to send the merged domain’s database to someone who has access
to the domain’s eDirectory tree. He or she can then use the Graft GroupWise Objects utility to
update the domain’s objects in the eDirectory tree (see “
Graft GroupWise Objects ” in
“ GroupWise Utilities ” in “ System ” in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide ).

services the domain you are merging, then click

domains that you have released from Site #2) ( worksheet item 5 and worksheet item 10 ).
11.9 Merging the Next GroupWise System
If you selected Yes for worksheet item 1 , use the worksheet you completed for the next GroupWise
system to be merged and begin with Section 11.1, “Creating External Domains for Both Systems,”
on page 67 .
11.10 Sending the Merged Site #2 Databases to
Site #2
This section applies only if the systems you are merging cannot be directly connected and you must
use temporary database copies (
worksheet item 4 ).
The merged Site #2 domains must be sent to Site #2 so that the post office databases can be rebuilt
(
worksheet item 5 and worksheet item 10 ).
1 From Site #1, copy the merged Site #2 databases to the Site #2 domain directory.

Restart any MTAs and POAs that you shut down to complete the merge processes.
