5.2 Performing First-Time Reconciliation

First-time reconciliation involves synchronizing lookup definitions in Oracle Identity Manager with the lookup fields of the target system, and performing full reconciliation. In full reconciliation, all existing user records from the target system are brought into Oracle Identity Manager.

The following is the sequence of steps involved in reconciling all existing user records:

1. Perform lookup field synchronization by running the scheduled jobs provided for this operation.

   See Scheduled Job for Lookup Field Synchronization for information about the attributes of the scheduled jobs for lookup field synchronization.

2. Perform user reconciliation by running the scheduled job for user reconciliation.

   See Scheduled Jobs for Reconciliation of User Records for information about the attributes of this scheduled job.

After first-time reconciliation, the Latest Token attribute of the Siebel Target User Recon scheduled job is automatically set to the time stamp at which the reconciliation run ended.

From the next reconciliation run onward, only target system user records that are added or modified after the time stamp stored in the scheduled job are considered for incremental reconciliation. These records are brought to Oracle Identity Manager when you configure and run the user reconciliation scheduled job.
