Error description
After particular configuration tasks (like setting up multiple LDAPs or deleting and recreating the same users or groups directly in the LDAP), user or group specific information such as customized pages or portlets, wires, credentials, or access control settings can get lost. This behavior comes along with duplicate entries for the same distinguished name in the USER_DESC table in the Portal release domain.

Problem summary
After particular configuration tasks (like setting up multiple LDAPs (i.e. horizontal partitioning) or deleting and recreating the same users or groups directly in the LDAP), user or group specific information such as customized pages or portlets, wires, credentials, or access control settings can get lost. This behavior comes along with duplicate entries for the same distinguished name in the USER_DESC table in the Portal release domain.
Problem conclusion
After particular configuration tasks (like setting up multiple LDAPs or migrating LDAPs or deleting and recreating the same users or groups directly in the LDAP), user or group specific information such as customized pages or portlets, wires, credentials, or access control settings can get lost. This behavior comes along with duplicate entries for the same distinguished name in the USER_DESC table in the Portal release domain. To use the new capability, first run the cleanup user export as described in the Portal InfoCenter (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r0/topic/com.i bm.wp.ent.doc/wps/admxmsmp.html#admxmsmp__cln_usr). With PK59896, the resulting XML file will accept an additional attribute migrate-users="true" for the request element. Simply use this new attribute to migrate users. After successfull migration, use the cleanup-users attribute to remove all duplicate entries. This attribute can be set independently of the cleanup-users attribute. The following combinations are generally possible: - cleanup-users="true" (or cleanup-users="invalid" as of version 6.0.1) and migrate-users not set or set to "false": Only the cleanup is performed (former behavior) - cleanup-users not set, set to "false", or set to "none" as of version 6.0.1 and migrate-users="true": Only the migration of user and group related content is performed. The cleanup can then be performed separately by another run of the script with the appropriate attribute setting. Use this option if you first want to check the result of the migration before deleting the users and groups from the Portal database. - cleanup-users="true" (or cleanup-users="invalid" as of version 6.0.1) and migrate-users="true": The user and group specific information is migrated and the old representations of the users and groups are deleted afterwards. Re-start the Portal server after executing the script with the XML configuration interface.
