Migration state problems

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 17 Feb 2005

Q:
I have IDM2 connecting 2 eDirectory trees with about 2000 users. The vast majority of the users have successfully synchronized and have a DirXML-Association state value of "processed."

For some reason, a number have a state value of "migrate," and the associated object ID has been populated. If a change occurs to that object, the state changes to "processed." Is this something I should be concerned about?

A:
I've seen that happen if the driver was stopped mid-migration. Normally, running a synchronize will get the rest of the users migrated across. For those that don't, check for errors that will prevent a sync, such as missing attributes etc.
