5. Click Finish to prepare the OpenLNS CT network design for merging. The OpenLNS CT
Database Merge Export Status dialog opens. This dialog displays the export status and lists
merge export events in the order they occur.

export.
7. Exit the OpenLNS CT drawing of the source network.
8. Back up the destination OpenLNS CT network design following the steps in Manually Backing
Up an OpenLNS CT Network Design in this chapter. You can use the backup to restore the
network if the merge process fails for any reason. If a failure occurs during the merge process, the
destination network will be left in a partially merged state and OpenLNS CT will not let you
access the network. To return the network to its original state, restore the backup of the
destination network.

Existing OpenLNS CT Network Design in Chapter 3, Getting Started.
