9.1.4 Merging the Source into the Target Tree
When you merge the trees, the servers in the source tree become part of the target tree.
The target Tree object becomes the new Tree object for objects in the source tree, and the tree name
of all servers in the source tree is changed to the target tree's name.
After the merge, the tree name for the target tree servers is retained.
The objects that were subordinate to the source Tree object become subordinate to the target Tree
object.
9.1.5 Partition Changes
During the merge, DSMerge splits the objects below the source Tree object into separate partitions.
All replicas of the Tree partition are then removed from servers in the source tree, except for the
master replica. The server that contained the master replica of the source tree receives a replica of
the target tree's Tree partition.
Figure 9-1
and
Figure 9-2
illustrate the effect on partitions when you merge two trees.
