6.4 Migrating and Resynchronizing Data

Identity Manager synchronizes data as the data changes. If you want to synchronize all data immediately, you can choose from the following options:

  • Migrate Data from the Identity Vault: Allows you to select containers or objects you want to migrate from an Identity Vault to an LDAP server. When you migrate an object, the Identity Manager engine applies all of the Matching, Placement, and Create policies, as well as the Subscriber filter, to the object.

    NOTE:When you migrate data from an Identity Vault into the LDAP directory, you might need to change your LDAP server settings to allow migration of large numbers of objects. See Migrating Users into an Identity Vault.

  • Migrate Data into the Identity Vault: Allows you to define the criteria that Identity Manager uses to migrate objects from an LDAP server into an Identity Vault. When you migrate an object, the Identity Manager engine applies all of the Matching, Placement, and Create policies, as well as the Publisher filter, to the object. Objects are migrated into the Identity Vault by using the order you specify in the Class list.

  • Synchronize: Identity Manager looks in the Subscriber class filter and processes all objects for those classes. Associated objects are merged. Unassociated objects are processed as Add events.
