8.1 What Is Synchronization?
The actions commonly referred to as “synchronization” in
Identity Manager refer to several different but related actions:
- Synchronization (or merging) of attribute
values of an object in the Identity Vault with the corresponding
attribute values of an associated object in a connected system.
- Migration of an Identity Vault object that does
not have an associated connected system object into the connected
system (that is, the creation of a new object in the connected system).
- Generation of the list of objects to submit to the
driver’s Subscriber channel for synchronization or migration
in response to a user request (a manual synchronization).
- Generation of the list of objects to submit to the
driver’s Subscriber channel for synchronization or migration
in response to enabling a formerly disabled driver, or in response to
a cache error.
