Data synchronization for reports
Manage schedules for data synchronization, or initiate a data synchronization activity immediately. You can also refresh the synchronization status.
- Directory server data is staged for report processing
- Mapping updates that are made with the Schema Mapping task are made available to the Design Report task
- Data and ACI information is synchronized between the directory server and the database
- All separation of duty policies defined in the system are evaluated for violations
Data synchronization schedules that you add are run as a background process at the scheduled time.
In general, schedule the data synchronization task when system load is low.
You can initiate a data synchronization activity immediately, or you can schedule a task to run at a specified time or at regular intervals.
You can view the status of the most recent data synchronization.
You can add or modify data synchronization schedules at any time.
You do not need to do a data synchronization task when you modify a report. However, if you change the report schema, reporting ACIs, or the entity data, you must do a data synchronization for the changes to take effect. For example, you might add a person to the system and want the name of that person to occur in a report.
The entities and attributes that you map with the Schema Mapping task are made available for the Design Report task only after data is synchronized.
