What is Run User and Roles Synchronization Process in Oracle Cloud : Retrieve Latest LDAP Changes process

Run User and Roles Synchronization Process helps to synchronize the LDAP directory with Oracle Cloud Application. In Oracle cloud, User Accounts and User roles information’s stores in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory but to work in Oracle Cloud application, we need to sync these information’s with Oracle Cloud Application. Run User and Roles Synchronization Process in Oracle Cloud or Retrieve Latest LDAP Changes process helps to sync the Information’s about user and their roles with LDAP and Oracle Cloud application.

If you are doing any changes in the Existing User accounts or altering some roles for some users then you have to run the Run User and Roles Synchronization Process or Retrieve Latest LDAP Changes process. If you will not run this process then in the Oracle Cloud application you will not see you latest changes about roles and User accounts so it’s always recommendable to run this process after making any changes in the User accounts and roles info.

During implementation, any existing information about users and their roles must be copied from the LDAP directory to the Oracle Fusion Applications tables

This process available as a task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. This task calls the Retrieve Latest LDAP Changes process
