Things to Consider before Merging Trees
 Before merging two trees, make sure that time synchronization is
operating correctly, and that both trees are synchronized. DSMERGE
allows the merge to complete if the time on the source tree is behind 5
minutes of the target tree time, but not ahead of the target tree time.
 When merging very wide trees with long subordinate names or many
subordinate names (500 or more), the error -251 OS:
ERR_NO_SUCH_PROPERTY is returned. Rename the objects using
shorter names or reduce the number of subordinates.
