Running the initial synchronization
After you define the flow settings, we can run the initial synchronization to migrate data from the endpoint to the target Security Directory Server.
Before you begin
Ensure that you create and define a flow.
About this task
Initial synchronization is a one-time operation for a flow. It selects all entries in the endpoint that match the flow criteria and updates the directory server.
Procedure
- On the Flows page, click the name of the flow, and then click Run Synchronization.
- In the Run Synchronization window, select Initial Synchronization.
Results
A complete synchronization from the source system is started according to the criteria specified for the flow. Any current synchronization state data is reset.
A progress bar is displayed under the Last Activity column. The status and logs are displayed under the flow.
What to do next
If you want to stop a synchronization operation that is in progress, click the name of the flow, and then click Terminate. Click OK when the confirmation message appears. Terminating a flow operation leaves it in a partially synchronized state, so it must be used with caution.
When the operation is completed, we can check the status and logs to verify that the synchronization was successful or to debug errors.
After you ensure that the initial synchronization completed successfully, we can set up a schedule for synchronization at specific intervals.
