would like to edit metaverse directly not from MA
Because of domain migration , we stop to run MA. But I would like to edit metaverse object directory. Is there any way ?

I don't believe there is any supported way of directly editing metaverse objects. I suppose there is nothing stopping you from editing the object entries in the FIMSynchronizationService database using SQL, but messing with the database of a complex product like FIM is generally a very, very, very bad idea and I really don't recommend it. Maybe if you explain more what you're trying to achieve we can help come up with a solution?

We use MIIS from AD,LDIF file. We imported to wrong data to metaverse but, due to migration AD MA should be stopped. In the daily export, wrong data is exported to another AD. So, till migaration is over , I have to correct wrong date everyday. so I would like to change metaverse object

Depends a bit on the situation (amount of data, # of updates you need to perform), but a simple text MA may do the trick. 1. Export the data with a text MA to a csv file 2. Edit data with appropriate tool (excel, notepad, anyting else) 3. import data back in the metaverse

My take on this is that messing with the MV data is a bad idea, but if its a simple attribute like firstname or lastname its ok. I have done it sometimes but i dont promote it as a primary solution. The best way i could think of is the same as PeterGr suggested.
