Administering a Calendar server

Merging two calendar databases (4)

You can merge databases from different machines when you create your network, or restore an archived database by merging it with the current database. To merge two databases, you must ensure that the following conditions are true:


If you do not satisfy all of these conditions, error messages appear when you run the merge calendar option. To merge two calendars, follow these steps:

  1. Use the Calendar Administration menu's option 8 (described in ``Pausing and resuming the server (8)'') to pause the server processes.

  2. Enter 4 at the Calendar Administration menu.

  3. Enter the pathname of the database you are adding (the source database) or enter q to quit.

  4. Enter the pathname of the database you are appending to (the destination database) or enter q to quit. The default value is /usr/lib/sco/oadb/caldata; to accept this value, press <Return> without entering a pathname.
After you enter the destination database pathname, the calendars are combined and you return to the Calendar Administration menu.
