Large Deployment Considerations

Due to the large size of their deployment, Global Telco takes the following steps to increase the performance of Identity Synchronization for Windows.

• Identity Synchronization for Windows components are distributed across two dedicated machines.

• The log level is set to INFO except when diagnosing transient problems.

• The Message Queue Broker's memory limits are increased (see Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 5 Installation Guide for more information).

• The default number of worker threads in the connectors is increased.

• The idsync resync command is run over batches of users to reduce the peak load on Message Queue.

  Each of these items is discussed in detail in the next section.
