Tasks & scheduling
The task framework in SailPoint IdentityIQ: task types, scheduling, partitioning and monitoring background work.
Quick answer
The task framework in SailPoint IdentityIQ: task types, scheduling, partitioning and monitoring background work.
Key takeaways
- Aggregation, refresh, reports and cleanup run as tasks
- Schedule tasks and sequence them correctly
- Partition large tasks across the cluster
- Monitor task results to catch silent failures
The task framework
Background work in IdentityIQ runs as tasks: aggregation, identity refresh, certification generation, reports and housekeeping all run through the task scheduler.
Scheduling
Tasks can run on demand or on a schedule. A sensible schedule sequences aggregation before refresh before certifications.
Partitioning
Large tasks partition across multiple hosts in a cluster to run faster and scale to big populations.
Monitoring
Task results record success, warnings and errors. Review them regularly; a silently failing refresh causes stale access data.
