Adding source data to the Profiles database
Populate the Profiles database with information from the source server by using the Profiles population wizard or by populating the database manually.
About this task
The Profiles population wizard provides an interface to
make it easier for you to populate the Profiles database with information
from your LDAP directory. Alternatively, if you do not want to use
the wizard, you can populate the database manually by manually updating
the profiles_tdi.properties file in the TDI directory.
Note: Although
LDAP is the default source, and the only source supported by the Profiles
population wizard, other sources are available if you are manually
populating the Profiles database. See Manually populating the
Profiles database for more information.
Note: You can
create custom TDI connectors to add, update, and synchronize your
source data and Profiles database content. See topics such as Developing
custom Tivoli Directory Integrator assembly lines for Profiles and Using
the ProfileConnector for more information.
Procedure
To populate the Profiles database with information from
the LDAP server, do one of the following:
- Run the Profiles population wizard on the server where Tivoli® Directory Integrator is installed. For more information, see Using the Profiles population wizard.
- Populate the Profiles database manually by updating the property values relevant to your configuration in the profiles_tdi.properties file. For more information, see Manually populating the Profiles database.
