Getting Started with Administering BDSS 4-9
Engine synchronizes Hub domains serially, not concurrently. For example, it synchronizes Hub domain A before domain B during a given synchronization session
for a user.
The synchronization levels available using the synclevel parameter are as follows:
Full Enables bidirectional synchronization of a Hub domain across the connectors. If you
set the synclevel parameter to Full for a connector domain, then the connector can both propagate and extract Create, Read, Update, and Delete events between the
domain and its corresponding domain on another PIM server.
Inbound Only If you select Inbound Only for a connector domain, then the Engine only propagates
record change event data to the PIM for that connector domain. In this case, the Engine does not extract data from the PIM server for the corresponding connector domain
when you select this option.
Outbound Only A domain with an outbound only synchronization level enables the connector to
extract Create, Read, Update, and Delete record event data from the corresponding domain on the PIM server. If you select Outbound Only as the value for the
synclevel parameter, then the connector does not propagate Create, Read, Update, and Delete record event data to the PIM server for this domain.
None Setting a synchronization level of None for a connector domain prevents a domain
from participating in either inbound or outbound synchronization. No Create, Read, Update, or Delete record event data is propagated to, or extracted from, the
corresponding domain on another PIM server.
4.5.2 Deleting a Domain from a Connector
To delete a domain from a connector:
1. Select the deleteDomainForConnector operation.
2. Specify the domainName and connectorName parameters described in
Table 4–10 and then click Invoke.
4.6 Managing Domain Filters
Filters are specific to connector domains and enable you to exclude a set of records from the extract result set based on defined criteria. BDSS supports any filter used by a
connector.
Note: Any number of connectors can link to a Hub domain
concurrently. Connector domains that share the same parent Hub domain must have a unique priority number.

4.6.1 Creating a Filter for a Domain
To create or update a filter for a connector’s domain:
1. Select the updateFilterForDomain operation of the
ServerDomainConfigMBean.
2. Specify the parameters listed in
Table 4–11 and then click Invoke.
4.6.2 Deleting a Filter from a Domain
To delete a filter from a domain:
1.
Select deleteFilterForDomain.
2.
Specify the domainFilterName, domainName, and connectorName parameters and then click Invoke.
4.7 Managing Users
The operations of the UserConfigMBean listed in Table 4–12
enable you to view user status, create and delete users, and set the synchronization configuration of domains
on a per-user basis.
Note: For Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g release 1, BDSS ships with a
coordinated universal time UTC date-time value filter that the Exchange 2007 Connector uses to remove old task records. Using this
filter, the Exchange 2007 Connector evaluates the due date of each task record and excludes the record from the extract result set if the filter’s
date value is more recent than the record’s due date.
Table 4–11 Parameters of the updateFilterForDomain Operation
Parameter Description
domainFilterName The name of the filter. This name must be unique within each
connector domain domainName
The name of the domain for which this filter is configured connectorName
The display name of the connector that owns the filter DomainFilterValue
The value configured for this filter DomainFilterSeq
An integer greater than 0 that determines the order that this filter is applied compared to other filters for this domain
