| ### Duplicate Names If the full name of a CDS object entry or soft link is identical to a full name of an object entry or soft link at the target location, the directory merge command lists these duplicate names and stops. Duplicate names are not merged to avoid overwriting and destroying the identical names in the target directory. If duplicate names exist, you need to decide which names you want to preserve: the names in the source subtree or the names in the target subtree. Once you have made your decision, proceed in the following manner: 1. Use the dcecp program's create commands to recreate (under a new name) any duplicate object entry or soft link as a new object entry or soft link in the source or target subtree. Then delete the duplicate name. 2. When you are certain that connectivity to the affected clearinghouses can be maintained, rerun the directory merge command to merge the contents of the source and target directories. ###
