Delta Aggregation

Delta aggregation is the process of only aggregating accounts or account groups that have changed since the last aggregation.

Delta aggregation can be run as an alternative to a full aggregation, which brings in all accounts or account groups, regardless of whether they are unchanged since the last aggregation.

Using delta aggregation to bring in only the changes can be much faster than full aggregations, and can allow processes to occur at a much more rapid pace.

The option to enable delta aggregation is set in the aggregation task. You can set this option in the tasks for aggregating accounts and for aggregating account groups. However, delta aggregation requires support by the connector; not all connector types support delta aggregation.

Partitioning in Delta Aggregation

Delta aggregation can in some cases support partitioning. Partitioning in delta aggregation relies on the connector having partitioning implemented; if the connector does not include partitioning functionality, the partitioning option will be ignored and delta aggregation will work in the default, singled-threaded mode.

For the most current information about a particular connector's partitioning support, refer to the IdentityIQ Connectors documentation on SailPoint's documentation portal.
