For this procedure, you can use Preview to test the effects of
synchronization for an object in a connector space prior to
synchronization with the metaverse. Preview can be useful for
viewing source object details, steps in the synchronization process
leading up to an error, connector filters, object deletion, join
and projection rules, and so forth. To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as a member of the MIISAdmins security group.
To use Preview to test the effect of
synchronization
On the Tools menu, click Management Agents.
In Management Agents, click a management agent that has
an associated connector space.
On the Actions menu, click Search Connector
Space.
In Search Results, click a connector space object, and
then click Preview.
In Select Preview Mode, choose one of the
following:
To synchronize the object, evaluating all of the attributes on
the object and any rules that apply, click Full
Synchronization. The synchronization is simulated: Actual full
synchronization does not occur.
To synchronize the object, evaluating only those attributes
that have changed since the last synchronization, click Delta
Synchronization. The synchronization is simulated: Actual delta
synchronization does not occur.
Click Generate Preview.
In Contents, click a page to display details.
To save Preview results, click the Save Preview Results
check box, and then type a name and location for the file.
Note
You can also use Preview from the Connector Space Object
Properties dialog box. Connector Space Object Properties for an
object can be viewed in Synchronization Statistics and Export
errors in Operations and Management Agents, or Search Results in
Search Connector Space and Joiner.
