9.1 Understanding the Merge Process
A merge is performed between the primary domains of two GroupWise systems. Merging one
system (the primary domain and all of its subordinate objects) with another consolidates the two
systems, resulting in only one primary domain and one or more new secondary domains and their
subordinate objects.
To avoid confusion, we will hereafter refer to the system whose primary domain you’ll retain as Site
#1 and the other system as Site #2.
Figure 9-1
GroupWise Systems to be Merged
In the above illustration, we have two GroupWise systems that are not connected. We have
designated the Manhattan GroupWise system as Site #1 and the Lakewood GroupWise system as
Site #2. The Lakewood system will be merged into the Manhattan system.
If you have three or more systems to be merged, you must merge the systems one after the other. We
will not use references to a Site #3, a Site #4, and so on. Instead, after the first and second systems
have been merged, the third system will become Site #2 as you go through the merge planning,
