Troubleshooting Synchronization in the Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning Platform

Troubleshooting synchronization can be difficult if there are a large number of profiles running or the scheduling interval for the profile of interest is very short. In such cases, the behavior of any connector can be tested as follows:

1. If there are many profiles running, use Oracle Directory Manager to selectively disable the profile that needs troubleshooting. On the other hand, if only one profile is running, stop the Oracle directory integration and provisioning server.

2. Go to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and run the command oditest as follows:

   oditest sync profile_name host=host_of_Oracle_Internet_Directory port=port_
   for_Oracle_Internet_Directory binddn=bind_DN bindpass=password_for_the_bind_
   DN sslauth=0 debug=63
   
   

This creates the audit and log files in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/odi/log.

To see the behaviors of synchronization, look at the trace and audit files.

For complete debugging details, set the debug logging level in the directory integration profile.
