The account merge operation will be released on 9 Sep 2008.

An account merge operation is requested by enclosing an <account:merge> element within an <update> command.

<account:merge> element

The <account:merge> element contains the following sub-elements:

• An <account:roid> element giving the account identifier to merge the domain names to.
• Zero or more further <account:roid> elements giving account identifiers from which to merge all domain names onto the destination account. These are distinguished from the destination account by a source attribute set to "Y".
• Zero or more <account:name> elements giving account names. All domain names on accounts matching this account name will be merged.
• One or more <account:domain-name> elements giving further domain names to merge onto the destination account.

The set of domain names moved to the destination account is the union of the domain names on the identified accounts and the directly identified domain names.

Example account merge request

The following will merge all the domain names on the 99999 account, along with all domain names with account name matching "Company X Ltd" along with the three domain names onto the account with id 567867845.
