4.3 Managing Configuration Set Entries Used by the Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning Server

You can create, modify, and view configuration set entries by using either the Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning Server Administration tool or the Directory Integration and Provisioning Assistant. When a connector is registered, an integration profile is created and added to the given configuration set. This configuration set entry determines the behavior of the directory integration and provisioning server.

You can control the runtime behavior of the directory integration and provisioning server by using a different configuration set entry when you start it. For example, you can start instance 1 of the directory integration and provisioning server on host H1 with configset1, and instance 2 on host H1 with configset2. The behavior of instance 1 depends on configset1, and that of instance 2 depends on configset2. Dividing the agents on host H1 between two configuration set entries distributes the load between the two directory integration and provisioning server instances. Similarly, running different configuration sets and different instances on different hosts balances the load between the servers.
