Merge Process

After you run the Match Process, inspect the results, and perform needed corrections, you now have a finalized configuration file, matching each person in the organization with their respective accounts on the referenced systems. You can now proceed to the final stage of creating a final configuration that links each person in the organization with all their resources in the referenced systems. This phase is called the Merge Process.

The Merge process reads the configuration files referenced in the User Databases section of the UUID tool and correlates the Users with the resource details in each of the systems that are referred to in the tool.

Note: To run the Merge Process, the UUID tool needs to have access to the configuration files of the referenced systems (.cfg files), and not to the Users Databases (.udb files).

To run the Merge Process

1. Click Load in the UUID Mapping file section and load a Mapping XML file.

   The UUID Tool is populated with the parameters stored in the selected UUID file.

   We assume that you have previously run a Match Process and that the configuration specified in the Output Config field of the Match Process section exists and represents the correct matching.

2. Click Run Merge in the Merge Process section.

   CA GovernanceMinder processes the databases and matches each person in the organization with the resources to which they have access rights and privileges across each system in the organization. This information is saved in the configuration file listed in the Output Config field of the Merge Section.

3. You can now open the Output Configuration file in the client tools and view the each person in the organization and the resources on each system to which they have access.
