4.1 Migrating and Synchronizing Data

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

To use one of these options:

  1. In iManager, select Identity Manager > Overview.

  2. Locate the driver set containing the z/OS RACF driver, then double-click the driver icon.

  3. Click the appropriate migration button.

4.1.1 Migrating Users and Groups from RACF to eDirectory

To migrate users and groups from RACF, you must migrate all of the groups first, and then migrate all of the users. This is because RACF group profiles do not always contain a complete list of their member users. Add group and modify group events never contain group members in the Publisher channel of the z/OS RACF driver.

4.1.2 Migrating Users and Groups from eDirectory to RACF

To migrate users and groups from eDirectory, you must migrate all of the groups first, and then migrate all of the users. This is because the Subscriber channel policies process the User object Group Membership attribute, but not the Group Object Member attribute.
