mergeServices

Use the mergeServices command to merge two services (thus removing duplicates). This command removes the source version specified with the -V flag and moves its endpoints to the target version specified with the -T flag. See Resolving Discovery Issues, for a discussion of the discovery issues that might require you merge two endpoints.

After the merge, the target version contains all the endpoints from both versions. If the source version has any profile attributes or message properties that you want to retain for the merged versions, you must recreate these on the target version.

Any historical data maintained for the source version is merged into the data maintained for the target version. Once the merge is completed, it is not possible to return to two distinct aggregated data sets for the two service versions.

You can preview the results of this command before committing to the changes it defines. After previewing, you must run the command again without the -P option to actually make the changes.

Use the moveEndpoints command to move selected endpoints from one service version to another.

Command Syntax

                     -V version
                     -T targetVersion [-P]
                     -s sphereUrl -l username:password
