Merging Novell eDirectory Trees
The Novell
®
eDirectory
TM
Merge utility allows you to merge two separate Novell eDirectory trees
into a single eDirectory tree. Only the Tree objects are merged; container objects and their leaf
objects maintain separate identities within the newly merged tree.
TIP:
To move leaf objects or merge partitions, use ConsoleOne
®
or Novell iManager.
The two trees you merge are called the local source tree and the target tree. Before merging one tree
into another tree, the target tree should have all but one replica of the root partition removed. When
there is only one replica of the root partition in the target tree, you can proceed with the merge. After
the merge, there will be two replicas of the root partition-the replica that was on the target tree and
the replica that was on the source tree server that ran the merge operation. If you need additional
replicas of the root partition in your tree, you can place them after the merge has completed.
If the target tree server contains more than one replica of the root partition when the merge takes
place, servers not holding the master replica might have a problem with the placement of external
reference objects. These objects are contained in subordinate reference partition roots that must be
placed on the other servers that have a replica of the root partition to represent partition boundaries.
For each partition subordinate to the root partition in the source tree, there must be a subordinate
reference partition root placed in the target tree. If there is a failure, it will report an eDirectory error
code of -605 for synchronization status. In this case, use DSRepair to run a local database repair on
the server producing the error. See
“Performing a Local Database Repair” on page 254
for more
information.
DSMerge does not change eDirectory names or contexts within the containers. Object and property
rights for the merged objects are retained.

8.1 Merging eDirectory Trees
To merge eDirectory trees, use the Merge Tree Wizard in Novell iManager. This wizard lets you
merge the root of two separate eDirectory trees. Only the Tree objects are merged; container objects
and their leaf objects maintain separate identities within the newly merged tree.
The two trees you merge are called the source tree and the target tree. The target tree is the tree that
the source tree will be merged into.
DSMerge does not change object names within the containers. Object and property rights for the
merged tree are retained.
