XPSSweeper—Synchronize XPS and SiteMinder Policy Stores

XPSSweeper is a command-line utility that can also be run as a batch job. You can use XPSSweeper to synchronize XPS and SiteMinder policy stores. Usually, XPS synchronizes the different policy stores. However, when legacy tools are used, the policy stores may need to be resynchronized using XPSSweeper. In any case, XPSSweeper does not harm the policy stores and can be run as a precaution.
