Merges entries from another network directory or configuration
file into the current network directory.
Syntax
{otherdir [,nodename] } [;LOCAL] [;KEEP ]
|
MERGEDIR {configfile } [;NOKEEP ]
|
Parameters
- otherdir
The name of another network directory file to merge
one or more entries from. The format is:
filename[.groupname[.accountname]]
A file lockword may not be specified.
- nodename
The name of a single node entry to merge when the
source file is a network directory. This parameter may not be specified
if the source is a configuration file. The format is:
nodename.domain.organization
Each of the three names may be from one to sixteen characters
long, must begin with a letter, and may contain letters, digits,
underscores, or dashes.
- configfile
The name of an NMMGR configuration file (NCONF
file) from which a single entry is to be extracted. The format of
this filename is the same as that for otherdir.
- LOCAL
When the source file is a network directory, LOCAL
indicates that only those entries classified as "local"
will be merged into the current directory.
When the source is a configuration file, LOCAL
specifies that the extracted entry will be classified as "local"
in the current directory.
- GLOBAL
When the source file is a network directory, GLOBAL
indicates that only those entries classified as "global"
will be merged into the current directory.
When the source is a configuration file, GLOBAL
specifies that the extracted entry will be classified as "global"
in the current directory.
GLOBAL is the default classification
when neither LOCAL nor GLOBAL
is specified.
- KEEP
Indicates that entries in the current directory
are to be retained when duplicate entries exist in the source directory.
This keyword is not applicable when the source is a configuration
file.
- NOKEEP
Indicates that entries in the current directory
are to be overwritten with duplicate entries found in the source
directory.
This keyword is not applicable when the source is a configuration
file.
- TIMESTAMP
Indicates that duplicate entries found in both directories
are to be compared, and the one that was created most recently will
be stored in the current directory.
This is the default action taken when neither KEEP,
NOKEEP, nor TIMESTAMP
is specified.
This keyword is not applicable when the source is a configuration
file.
Description
MERGEDIR takes entries from either another network directory
or an NMMGR configuration file and merges them into the current
directory.
Entries that do not exist in the current directory are unconditionally
added to the current directory. Duplicate entries are handled differently
depending upon the source file type. If the source file is a network
directory, then duplicate entries are either ignored or replaced
in the current directory depending on the KEEP,
NOKEEP, or TIMESTAMP
keyword used. If the source file is an NMMGR configuration file,
then the duplicate entry is replaced in the current directory.
Example
To merge an entry from the system configuration file and store
it as a local entry, enter the following command:
NMMGR> MERGEDIR NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS ;LOCAL
|
To merge all global entries from another network directory,
overwriting any duplicates in the current directory, enter the following
command:
NMMGR> MERGEDIR RMOTEDIR ;NOKEEP
