The DSMERGE utility allows you to merge two separate Novell® eDirectoryTM 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.
The two trees you merge are called the local source tree and the target tree. To merge two trees, you load DSMERGE on a server in the local tree.
DSMERGE does not change Directory names or contexts within the containers. Object and property rights for the merged objects are retained.
IMPORTANT: You can't merge container or leaf objects with DSMERGE. To move leaf objects or merge partitions, use ConsoleOneTM.
