gwadminutil-merge (1)

Name

gwadminutil-merge - The GroupWise Administration Utility system merge option

Syntax

gwadminutil merge [-mergesync] -d path -p path

Description

Merges an external domain into the local GroupWise system as a new secondary domain. The external domain must be the only domain in the other GroupWise system.

This task requires direct file access to both databases. For that reason, it is not available in the Admin console, which provides direct file access to one domain database through the Admin Service for that domain.

After you merge an external domain into your GroupWise system, you must perform the following additional steps in order to complete the setup of the new secondary domain and its post offices:

On the secondary domain server, install a new server certificate so that the local Admin Service can communicate with the primary domain Admin Service:

gwadminutil certinst -d /path_to_secondary_domain 
            -ca ip_address_of_primary_domain_server:9710 -a admin_user_name -p

Wait for replication of the domain information to the post office.

On each post office server, you can use the following command to view the owning domain name in the post office database:
```
gwadminutil dbinfo /path_to_post_office
```

On each post office server, install a new server certificate so that the local Admin Service can communicate with the primary domain Admin Service:

gwadminutil certinst -d /path_to_post_office 
            -ca ip_address_of_primary_domain_server:9710 -a admin_user_name -p
