Verifying the flow configuration
After configuring the flow and specify the criteria for the flow operations, we can run a simulated synchronization to verify the flow.
Before you begin
Ensure that you create and define a flow.
About this task
The simulated synchronization runs the same operations as an initial synchronization, but does not write anything to the directory server. This feature is helpful in the initial planning phase to verify that the flow is able to select the correct data subset in the endpoint.
Procedure
- On the Flows page, click the name of the flow, and then click Run Synchronization.
- In the Run Synchronization window, select Simulate.
Results
A complete synchronization from the source system is simulated according to the criteria specified for the flow.
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 the simulation operation that is in progress, click the name of the flow, and then click Terminate. Click OK when the confirmation message appears.
When the operation is completed, the details of the simulation such as date, operation, and modified attributes are displayed on a new tab. We can use the Filter field to search the table.
We can also check the status and logs to verify that the simulated synchronization was successful or to debug errors.
After you verify your flow by running a simulated synchronization, we can run the initial synchronization to migrate data to the directory server.
