Scheduling Rational Directory Server updates

You can schedule updates from IBM® Rational® Directory Server by using the RDS Update interface. When an update runs, the Name, Email, and Information attributes are updated for users who authenticate by using Rational Directory Server. These attributes cannot be edited in any other way.

Before you begin

Because the update uses many resources, schedule the update during a time when few users are using IBM Rational Focal Point™.

To update a user, the user information must be at least 24 hours old.

About this task

The RDS Update button is displayed in the Manage Users view of each user who authenticates by using Rational Directory Server. When you click RDS Update, the user information in Rational Focal Point is updated according to Rational Directory Server.

To schedule updates from Rational Directory Server for a user:

Procedure

  1. In the Start field, enter the start date for the update.
  2. In the Run At list, select the time to run the update.
  3. In the Refresh list, select the interval at which the update runs.
  4. Click Save. Each time that you change the schedule, click Save.
    Note: To run a manual update, click Update Now.
