Delta Aggregation

Note
This includes changes such as when a user or group has been added, updated, or deleted on the managed system.

By default, Active Directory supports the DirSync mode of delta aggregation which is based on DirSync feature of Active Directory.

Testing Delta Aggregation

For delta aggregation to work properly, a start point is required from where the system detects changes. To retrieve changes from the last iteration, a full aggregation must be performed first during which the reference point is maintained. Once the full aggregation completes, create a separate delta aggregation task to retrieve delta changes that occurred post the full aggregation.

Perform the following steps to test delta aggregation:

  1. Execute Account and Account - Group Aggregation task.

  2. Create a task with delta aggregation flag set for Account Aggregation.

  3. Perform Create/Update/Delete/Revoke operations for Accounts/Groups on the directory server.

  4. Execute account aggregation task again to bring delta changes, which will now be executed in delta mode.

  5. Confirm the changes have been retrieved into IdentityIQ.
