Merge Configurations

This option merges two configurations, including their underlying users and resources databases. The resulting configuration collects all users and resources that appear in either of the input configurations and integrates all privileges of the two configurations. This option is especially useful to merge configurations that result from importing data from different platforms.

Merging more than two configurations repeats the process for merging two configurations and is performed in several steps, each time adding one more configuration to the resulting configuration.

To merge configurations

1. Click File, Configuration Preparation Operations, Merge Configurations.

   The Configuration Data Merge Converter dialog appears.

2. Browse to select the configuration files you wan to merge, and to specify the pathname of the files that contain output of the merge operation.

   Note: merge overwrites the output configuration and database files you specify.

   The following optional field is available:

   Case-Sensitive Person ID

   Select this option to apply case-sensitive matching of personID fields during merge. For example, when this option is selected, the user record JohnSmith in one input configuration will not be merged with the record johnsmith in the other input configuration.

   When all files have been specified, the Merge button becomes active.

3. Click Merge to finish.
