Recompute Template Rules

If you change the template rule expressions for an initial attribute, you have one chance to apply that change to the accounts. If you decline that option, the value is saved in the template for use when new accounts are created from the template. If you then use Synchronize Accounts with Templates operation on the template in Provisioning Manager, it only updates capability attributes, not the attributes on the accounts.

To force a rule expression, including a constant template account attribute value, so the attribute on all the template's accounts is updated, do the following:

• Make a change to the template (for example, clear the attribute value) and decline to update all accounts.
• Change the template again by restoring the original value and accept the offer to update all accounts.

You can also use this method for Global-User-to-Account propagation. If you do not propagate the change to accounts when you change a global user attribute, you can do it again later by making two changes and accepting the offer to update accounts on the second change.
