Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.7

Situation

Schema mismatch error when trying to merge two trees running eDirectory 8.7
DSMERGE fails on a Tree Merge with schema differences.
Schema mismatch errors with DSmerge.
Tree merge fails.

Resolution

Both schemas had the same number of attributes, but one of the attributes called "surname" had one extra flag called"DS_public_read". The DS merge procedure will not begin until the schema on both trees are identical and the "surname" attribute is keeping them from completing the merge. To remove this flag, it will require a dial in by Novell Technical Support.
