Migrating and Resynchronizing Data

After you start the driver, you can migrate users and groups to and from eDirectory and resynchronize the application and eDirectory.

Źd—v:  Migration to and from eDirectory should be performed in three steps: migrating the groups; migrating the users; and migrating the groups again to complete the migration of the desired accounts into eDirectory. The driver should be running to migrate and resynchronize data.


Migrating into eDirectory

All the users or groups can be selectively migrated by using the Migrate into eDirectory option.

  1. In iManager, select DirXML Management > Overview.

  2. Locate the driver set containing the NIS driver, then double-click the driver icon.

  3. Click Migrate into eDirectory.

  4. Click Edit List to add a list of user or group classes and attributes.

  5. Select the User or Group class to migrate all existing users or groups.

    or

    Select the User class and the appropriate attribute.

  6. Specify the value for the attribute.

    This value is used to determine the objects that are migrated into eDirectory. The valid pattern for attribute is .* for matching all users or groups.

  7. Click OK.


Migrating from eDirectory

All the users or groups having a UNIX profile can be selectively migrated by using the Migrate from eDirectory option.

  1. In iManager, select DirXML Management > Overview.

  2. Locate the driver set containing the NIS driver and then double-click the driver icon.

  3. Click Migrate from eDirectory, then click Add to add the objects to be migrated.

  4. Click OK.


Resynchronizing

If you want to have an immediate synchronization of all managed object classes, you can use the synchronization function of DirXML.

  1. In iManager, select DirXML Management > Overview.

  2. Locate the driver set containing the NIS driver, then double-click the driver icon.
