Priority Sync process
For example, if the attributes Password and Account Number are critical, you can create a priority
sync policy PS1 that contains these attributes. You can then apply the policy PS1 to a partition P1. If
you change the password or the account number of an entry on a server, the changes are immediately
synchronized with other servers having partition P1.
For priority sync to happen, you need to check if outbound and inbound priority sync are enabled in
iMonitor. Inbound and outbound priority sync are enabled by default. If you disable inbound and
outbound priority sync, the modifications to the data are synchronized by normal synchronization.
For more information, see “Controlling and Configuring the DS Agent” on page 208 .

When you create a child partition, the priority sync policy that is applied to the parent is inherited by
the child partition. When you merge partitions, the priority sync policy of the parent is retained.
Creating and Defining a Priority Sync Policy
You can define a priority sync policy by selecting the attributes either directly or through an object
class. When you select attributes through an object class, all the attributes under the object class are
selected for priority sync. You can choose to select the mandatory or optional attributes for priority
sync.
The priority sync policy can be created anywhere in the eDirectory tree using either iManager or
LDAP.
