Mixed Mode Considerations

When importing information into a CA Identity Governance universe from any mix of two or more types of endpoints, consider the following:

Import users from only one endpoint as the CA Identity Governance users. If CA Identity Manager exists in your mixed universe, use the CA Identity Manager corporate user list as the CA Identity Governance users.
In CA Identity Governance, correlation determines what account belongs to what user automatically during data import. An administrator can define the set of rules that govern how CA Identity Governance makes decisions regarding account and user synchronization during import.
When importing from unmanaged endpoints using CSV, Kettle, or a custom connector, the data must conform to the same standards. For more information about CSV file formats, see the Programming Guide.

When exporting information into a CA Identity Governance universe from any mix of two or more types of endpoints, consider the following:

If you include CA Identity Manager in a mixed universe, CA Identity Governance can only export changes to CA Identity Manager.
If you have a CA IAM Connector Server in a mixed universe, CA Identity Governance can only export changes to an endpoint if there is only that one endpoint connected to the CA IAM Connector Server. Changes to other endpoints must be processed manually.
If you have CA Identity Manager in your deployment, it remains synchronized with the CA Identity Governance Master configuration through continuous updates. With other endpoint systems or the CA IAM Connector Server, you perform another import to update the CA Identity Governance Master configuration.
