17.0 Migrating and Resynchronizing Data

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

  • Migrate Data from Identity Vault: Allows you to select containers or objects you want to migrate from the Identity Vault to an application. 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.

  • Migrate Data into Identity Vault: Assumes that the remote application can be queried for entries that match the criteria in the Publisher filter.

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

To use one of the options described above:

  1. In iManager, in the Roles and Tasks view, click Identity Manager > Identity Manager Overview.

  2. Browse to and select the driver set where the driver exists, then click Search.

  3. Click the driver icon, then click the Migrate tab.

  4. Click the appropriate migration button.
