Google Apps Directory Sync Administration Guide - Manual (Page 133)

Configuration 133
During simulation, Configuration Manager will:
• Connect to Google Apps and generate a list of users, groups, and shared
contacts.
• Connect to your LDAP directory server and generate a list of users, groups,
and shared contacts.
• Generate a list of differences.
• Log all events.
• If connection was successful, show a Proposed Change Report which shows
what changes would have been made to your Google Apps user list.
Note: Simulate Sync will never update or change your LDAP server or your users
in Google Apps. The simulation is strictly for configuration and testing. To run an
actual synchronization, use the command line. See “Synchronization” on
page 135 for more.
Review the log file generated by the test sync to confirm that the simulation
occurred correctly without any unexpected results.
If any errors occur, check the error text. Most error text is human readable, but
some error text may contain Java stack trace errors. If you need help
troubleshooting these errors, see “Release 4.0.2 Troubleshooting” on page 141.
Note: The Proposed Change Report doesn’t check your delete limits.
If you see any errors or unexpected results, you can go back and change your
configuration to try again. To change your configuration, click on any of the
headings on the left navigation bar.
You can switch between the Validation Results and Simulation Results pages
using the buttons at the bottom of the page. You can also run another simulation
from either page by clicking the Simulate Sync button at the bottom.
Once you are finished, save your configuration file and run synchronization. See
“Synchronization” on page 135.
