  • Article

Overview / Purpose / Goal

The purpose of this wiki page is to provide the steps to check for pending exports.

What is a Pending Export

A Pending Export is an object that has already been synchronized and is in a Pending Export state on the Source and/or Target Object.  If you review a Connector Space object you will see the Pending Export Tab at the Top.

Reviewing a Pending Export, you can see the following:

  1. Distinguished Name: The name of the object.  For a FIM Service MA, like the one above it is a GUID.
  2. Modification Type: Explains what is going to happen to the object in the Connected Data Source
    1. Add = a new object to be created in the Connected Data Source
  3. Object Type: The type of object that has been modified
    1. Person

Check Statistics

  1. In the FIM Synchronization Service Manager Console

  2. From the Tools menu, select Statistics

  3. You will see a dialog appear called Statistics

    *NOTE: You do not have to select a Management Agent, but if you are concerned about just one, then it will be helpful to select a particular Management Agent.

  4. Scroll all the way to the right

  5. Review Export Adds, Export Updates, Export Deletes

    *NOTE: If you have Pending Exports and are experiencing things like performance issues, and/or hangs, it is recommended to clear your Pending Exports and then test to see if you have the same performance issue and/or hang.
