User Guide

Option Description
Example: updateNativeDir -cssLocation D:\CSS.xml –noprompt updates Native
Directory in silent mode.
-noupdate Optional: Use this option if you only want to generate CSSMigration-
Update_<
time_stamp >.log that lists the users and groups that needs to be updated in Native
Directory. User and group information in Native Directory is not updated if you use this option.
Example:
updateNativeDir -cssLocation D:\CSS.xml —noupdate creates
CSSMigration-Update_< time_stamp >.log.
updateNativeDir -cssLocation D:\CSS.xml creates CSSMigration-
Update_<
time_stamp >.log and updates the user and group information in Native Directory.
Update Native Directory Utility Log Files
By default, Update Native Directory Utility log files are created in updateNativedir/logs. If
the utility cannot create
updateNativedir/logs, the log files are created in $TMP
\Hyperion-logs
or %TEMP%\Hyperion-logs.
● CSSMigration-Ambiguous_< time_stamp >.log that lists the identities that were not
updated because more than one similar identities were detected by the utility. Identities
listed in this file must be manually updated.
● CSSMigration-Deleted_< time_stamp >.log that lists the deleted external user
directory entries that must be deleted from Native Directory. These entries are automatically
removed from Native Directory if the
nodelete option is not set when executing the utility.
● CSSMigration-Updated_< time_stamp >.log that lists the Native Directory identities
that needs to be updated. If the
-noupdate option is not set when executing the utility, the
utility updates these entries in Native Directory.
● CSSMigration-ignored_< time_stamp >.log that lists all the entries on which no action
was taken because they need not be updated.
