function synch_all

    return boolean;

Description

Retrieves all users from an LDAP directory, stores the user attribute information in an attribute cache, and raises the oracle.apps.global.user.change event to alert interested parties. The function connects to the LDAP directory specified in the global workflow preferences. One event is raised for each user.

Because Synch_all( ) retrieves information for all users stored in the LDAP directory, you should use this function only once during setup, or as required for recovery or cleanup. Subsequently, you can use Synch_changes( ) or Schedule_changes( ) to retrieve only changed user information.

If the function completes successfully, it returns TRUE; otherwise, if it encounters an exception, it returns FALSE.

Run Synch_all( ) to begin your Workflow directory service synchronization with Oracle Internet Directory if you implement OID integration.
