Reconciliation

IDM performs reconciliation on a per-mapping basis. The process of reconciliation for a given mapping includes these stages:

1. Iterate through all objects for the object set specified as source. For each source object, carry out the following steps.

   1. Look for a link to a target object in the link object set, and perform a correlation query (if defined).

   2. Determine the link condition, as well as whether a target object can be found.

   3. Determine the action to perform based on the policy defined for the condition.

   4. Perform the action.

   5. Keep track of the target objects for which a condition and action has already been determined.

   6. Write the results.

2. Iterate through all object identifiers for the object set specified as target. For each identifier, carry out the following steps:

   1. Find the target in the link object set.

      Determine if the target object was handled in the first phase.

   2. Determine the action to perform based on the policy defined for the condition.

   3. Perform the action.

   4. Write the results.

3. Iterate through all link objects, carrying out the following steps.

   1. If the reconId is "my", then skip the object.

      If the reconId is not recognized, then the source or the target is missing.

   2. Determine the action to perform based on the policy.

   3. Perform the action.

   4. Store the reconId identifer in the mapping to indicate that it was processed in this run.
