Deleting Synchronization Profiles Managing Synchronization Profiles Using Fusion Middleware Control

Managing Directory Synchronization Profiles 7-11 Test Params This section describes the Test Params screen, which is the second screen of the three screen DIP Tester wizard. If running DIP Tester in Advanced mode, select and configure the source of the test data. To test sync a specific change, either enter a change number or enter the SourceDN. Otherwise, enter synchronization instructions using LDIF Lightweight Directory Interchange Format statements. If running DIP Tester in Basic mode, the options are preconfigured. Click Next in the top right corner of the screen to go to step three of the wizard, Review Options and Test Output. View Test Data Optional. This lookup feature is provided so that you can view change log data, source directory data, and destination directory data without leaving DIP Tester. Select one of the following options form the drop-down menu to view the test data inside of DIP Tester. ■ View Change Log Entry - For directories that support change logs specify the change log and enter a number in the Change Number box. The change number is retrieved from the source. Port Configured port number for the synchronization job connection. SSL Settings Indicates that SSL is disabled if the check box is empty. User Name User account that the profile uses to authenticate to the source directory. Table 7–3 Synchronization Profile Properties, Advanced Property Description Last Change Number Identifies the most recent change number in the change log that synchronization has been performed for. Skip Error To Sync Next Change If true, specifies that the profile should continue the synchronization job if an error occurs. If false, the sync job is aborted. To change this value, edit the synchronization profile, select the Advanced tab, and edit the parameter in the Additional Configuration Parameters section. Update Search Count Specifies the maximum number of iterations to be performed on the connected directory during the synchronization process. The synchronization process stops after the specified number of searches has been performed. To change this value, edit the synchronization profile, select the Advanced tab, and edit the parameter in the Additional Configuration Parameters section. Note: Failed change numbers cannot be determined automatically. Instead, refer to audit logs for failed change numbers. Table 7–2 Cont. Synchronization Profile Properties, Source Details or Destination Property Description 7-12 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Directory Integration Platform ■ View Source Directory Entry - Select to view an existing source directory entry that you can use as a template. This option should be used to view Active Directory source data, including the uSNChanged attribute. The Source Container values in the drop-down menu are retrieved using the domain mapping rules set in the profile. Enter a value for the Source RDN box. ■ View Destination Directory Entry - Select to view an existing destination directory entry that you can use as a template. The Destination Container values in the drop-down menu are retrieved using the domain mapping rules set in the profile. Enter a value for the Destination RDN box. Test Options From the Test data source menu, select Change Number, SourceDN, or LDIF Data, then type the change number, SourceDN, or the LDIF commands that you want to test. Click Next to go to step three of the wizard, Review Options and Test Output. Review Options and Test Output This section describes the Review Options and Test Output screen, which is the third screen of the three screen DIP Tester wizard. If running DIP Tester in Advanced mode, use the Review Test Options section to review the change number or LDIF data that you entered on the previous screen. If running DIP Tester in Basic mode, this section uses preconfigured settings. ■ Click Test to initiate the synchronization test. ■ Click Dump Profile to write detailed information about the selected synchronization profile to a pop-up window. The Test Output section displays the following information: ■ Result - Either Test Passed or Test Failed. Caution: A synchronization test is not a simulation. Initiating the test will cause an actual sync operation to take place. Proceed with caution when using DIP Tester in Advance mode. Note: If a source directory entry and a destination directory entry are already in sync, DIP Tester will not report that the sync operation did not occur. Instead, DIP Tester simply reports Test Passed because the entry and attribute data in both directories match. Note: When using DIP Tester in Basic mode, the Test Output section will occasionally report a result of Test Passed, when, in fact, errors were reported. For this reason you should always check the Log Messages for DIP Tester section to verify that no errors are reported there.
