fact

Novell eDirectory 8.7 for All Platforms

Novell eDirectory 8.6 for All Platforms

Performing a tree merge.

eDirectory 8.6.2 is the source and eDirectory 8.7 is the target

symptom

Schema on source and target servers are not the same.

cause

The import schema does not change flags.  The flag definitions are different on the 8.6.2 tree and the 8.7 tree.

fix

There are two solutions to this problem.
1.  Upgrade the 8.6.2 server to eDirectory 8.7

2.  Use the dsmerge from eDirectory 8.7 on the 8.6.2 server.  This option does work but is not fully tested.  Make sure backups of the eDirectory is taken before using this option.

Novell is investigating options on how to remedy this issue with the 8.6.2 dsmerge utility.

For additional information on eDirectory 8.7, please see the following solution.  NOVL81742  - eDirectory 8.7 Readme Addendum [no longer available]
