Automating Synchronization
When the iProcess Engine is configured to use the LDAP directory, synchronization with the LDAP directory automatically occurs whenever a MoveSysInfo operation is performed as a result of an LDAPCONF request (which records the time that it last performed a synchronization).
You can automate the synchronization process to perform regular, scheduled updates of user information by using the LDAPCONF MOVESYSINFO command (See MOVESYSINFO), using the Windows at command or a UNIX/Linux cron job.
TIBCO recommends the use of a ‘two-tiered’ update strategy:
| • | Perform partial synchronizations on a short timescale (for example, every hour or every day, depending on the frequency with which user information changes). |
| • | Perform full synchronizations on a longer timescale (for example, every day or every week). |
