Merge Configuration Files Introducing New Options

The following figure illustrates the command line used to merge configuration options from infile.txt into outfile.txt.

In this example, UPIMERGE changes its default behavior, and introduces new values for the activity_monitoring and event_generation options by not commenting them out in the merged file.

upimerge -dest outfile.txt -source infile.txt -keep_nomatch yes

Command Line Options

The command line options used in this example are:

Option	Description
-dest	Name of a file used to store the result of the merge.
-source	Name of a file used as input to the merge. If this option is omitted, UPIMERGE assumes input is redirected via stdin.
-keep_nomatch	Controls merge behavior when an option in -dest has no match in -source.

Merged File Contents

The following table identifies the contents of outfile.txt after UPIMERGE completes.

The result is almost identical to the example shown in Merge Configuration Files Using Program Defaults. Executing UPIMERGE with -keep_nomatch set to yes enables the activity_monitoring and event_generation options in the output file.
