Chapter 5: Importing Deployment Artifacts into a Domain
Using the Merge Command
An alternative to the import command is the merge command. It performs the action of
applying the source store to the target store, and while it replaces ESB artifacts that are
different in the target store and adds ESB artifacts that are new to the target store, it does
not overwrite existing, unchanged files.
The syntax of the merge command of one store into another in the ESB Admin Tool is:
merge -storeType storeParameters -storeType storeParameters
-out outputFile.xml
[-v]
where:
■ The first -storeType storeParameters identifies the source artifact store, and
the next -storeType storeParameters identifies the target artifact store.
■ storeType is { xar | fs | ds }.
■ storeParameters are:
❑ When storeType is xar, the archive location on a file system
❑ When storeType is fs, the root of the hierarchy on a file system
❑ When storeType is ds, the management connection to a domain in the form:
domain url [username password] [managementNode]
■ outputfile is the target XML file name for the post-merge impact report on the
file system.
■ -v requests verbose reporting.
Examples of merge Commands
● Merging a XAR into a Directory Service store:
ESBAdmin> merge -xar sourceStore.xar -ds Domain1 myHost:2506 aUser aPassword
● Merging a file system into a XAR:
ESBAdmin> merge -fs C:/ESB_install_dir/ESB -xar targetStore.xar
