Large Deployment Considerations

Due to the large size of its 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.

• Message Queue Broker memory limits are increased (see the Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 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 actions is discussed in detail in the next section.
