Merge Types

When importing data from multiple endpoint systems, consider the following merge types of import connectors in CA GovernanceMinder:

As Users

Connects to an endpoint system that contains users and accounts that are already correlated. Users from this endpoint are treated as users only.

As Accounts

Connects to an endpoint where users are treated as accounts. All the endpoint sub-connectors of a CA IdentityMinder connector are treated as Secondary connectors.

As Users and As Accounts

Connects to an endpoint where users are treated as users and as accounts. This connector type is used with the CA IAM Connector Server, so that the CA IAM Connector Server is the source for CA GovernanceMinder users and the product can also still see its accounts.

Note: You cannot change the type of a connector once it has been run.

When running an multi-import connector job, if the As Users connector fails, the entire job will fail. If the As Users connector succeeds at least once, an As Accounts connector can fail and the product uses the last successful import data from that As Accounts connector to process the multi-import job. If any connector fails in the multi-import job, the owner of the connector will get an email about the failure.
