10.6.4. Situations Specific to Automatic Synchronization and LiveSync

Certain situations occur only during automatic synchronization (when OpenIDM pushes changes made in the repository out to external systems) and LiveSync (when OpenIDM polls external system change logs for changes and updates the repository).

The following table shows the situations that pertain only to automatic sync and LiveSync, when records are deleted from the source or target resource.

Table 10.3. Resolving Automatic Sync and LiveSync Delete Situations

Source Qualifies? Link Exists? Target Objects Found[a] Situation
Yes No Yes No 0 1 > 1
N/A N/A X   X     LINK_ONLY
N/A N/A   X X     ALL_GONE
X     X     X AMBIGUOUS
  X   X     X UNQUALIFIED

[a] If no link exists for the source object, then OpenIDM executes a correlation query. If no previous object is available, OpenIDM cannot correlate.
