MergeUID

Merges UserID records from multiple systems into one USERID/LUSERID file. Supports export and import of user records while keeping ALL attributes.

Migrating several systems into one — e.g. three K-type systems into one big S-type system, or migrating from K or S to Itanium — always raises the question: how can we merge and migrate users from the old systems into the new one?

What about having user records ‘on site’ but NOT activated, ready to be introduced when needed and removed afterwards (very helpful for backup systems)? Or moving just one user, or a group of users, from one system to another while keeping ALL user attributes intact, such as:

• the password and password history
• all time stamps
• logon counters
• and more

Here is the solution: the two programs EXPORT and IMPORT of the MergeUID suite from GreenHouse do the trick.
