Creating a flow

Create a flow that defines the relationship between the endpoints and the target IBM® Security Directory Server.

Before you begin

Click the Flows tab to view the Flows page.
On the Flows page, click Add.
In the Add Flow window, specify the Name for the flow.
From the Select endpoint list, select one of the configured endpoints to provide data for the flow.
Click OK to create the flow.

Defining flows
After you create a flow, you can edit the flow to define specific settings or use the default values that are provided for most settings.
Extending attribute maps for a flow
All flow relationships can contain advanced mapping and data transformation. When you set up a flow, you can specify the custom attribute maps that must be applied during the flow operations. You can choose from the attribute maps that you defined earlier for users and groups and extend those maps for a specific flow.
Configuring a join
To augment and enrich the data from the endpoint, you can configure the flow to specify a join from another data source selectively.
Enabling write-back for flows
Changes that are made in the target directory server can be propagated back to the endpoint by enabling write-back in a flow for selected attributes.
Verifying the flow configuration
After you configure the flow and specify the criteria for the flow operations, you can run a simulated synchronization to verify the flow.
