Using the CDS Subtree Commands to Restructure CDS Directories
destroying the identical names in the target directory.
If duplicate names exist, you need to decide which names you want to preserve: the
names in the source subtree or the names in the target subtree. Once you have made
your decision, proceed in the following manner:
1. Use the dcecp create commands to recreate (under a new name) any duplicate
object entry or soft link as a new object entry or soft link in the source or target
subtree. Then delete the duplicate name.
2. When you are certain that connectivity to the affected clearinghouses can be
maintained, rerun the directory merge command to merge the contents of the
source and target directories.
20.3.2 Unreachable Name Failures
Sometimes, the clearinghouse that stores the master replica of a directory you are trying
to merge is disabled or unreachable when you enter the directory merge command.
When this happens, the command cannot create the directory and the entries it contains
at the new target location.
When unable to merge a name for this reason, the directory merge command displays
an error message specifying the name that could not be created and terminates.
20.3.3 Insufficient Permissions
The directory merge command cannot create CDS objects at a target location if it lacks
the appropriate permissions. If the command returns error messages indicating
insufficient permissions, you need to examine the ACLs for the target clearinghouse,
directories, and object entries to see the current permissions and change the
inappropriate ones.
Table 20-1 shows the permissions required to create directories and other CDS object
entries at the target.
