8 Bootstrapping of a Directory in Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning

This chapter discusses directory bootstrapping, which refers to the initial migration of data between a connected directory and Oracle Internet Directory. Because the synchronization process can handle the migration of data between a connected directory and Oracle Internet Directory, you are not required to perform directory bootstrapping. However, relying on the synchronization process to perform the initial migration can be a time consuming process, especially for large amounts of data. For this reason, you should perform directory bootstrapping when you first deploy Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning.
