A conflict occurs when you try to import an object with a name that exists for an object in the target domain. Configure the conflict resolution to determine how to handle conflicts during the import.
You can define a conflict resolution strategy through the command line or control file when you import the objects. The control file takes precedence if you define conflict resolution in the command line and control file. The import fails if there is a conflict and you did not define a conflict resolution strategy.
You can configure one of the following conflict resolution strategies:
Reuse
Reuses the object in the target domain.
Rename
Renames the source object. You can provide a name in the control file, or else the name is generated. A generated name has a number appended to the end of the name.
Replace
Replaces the target object with the source object.
Merge
Merges the source and target objects into one group. For example, if you merge groups with the same name, users and sub-groups from both groups are merged into the group in the target domain.
You cannot define the merge conflict resolution strategy through the command line. Use a control file to define the merge conflict resolution strategy. You must include the group object type section with merge as the conflict resolution policy with reuse, replace, or rename for all conflicting users in the control file.
For example, specify the merge conflict resolution strategy for the following groups:
Group A with users a1, a2, b1, b2 in the source domain.
Group A with users a1, a2, a3 b1, b2 in the target domain
You get the following results in the group after merge in the target domain:
