MERGEDIR
Merges entries from another network directory or configuration file into
the current network directory.
Syntax
{otherdir [,nodename]} [;LOCAL] [;KEEP]
MERGEDIR {configfile } [;NOKEEP]
[;GLOBAL] [;TIMESTAMP]
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
