Start-FIMReportingInitialSync

Extracts baseline data from FIM and moves it over to the System Center staging tables.

Syntax

Start-FIMReportingInitialSync [-uri <string> = localhost] [-credential <system.credential> = current user] 

Detailed Description

Extracts baseline data from FIM and moves it over to the System Center staging tables. Only dimensional attributes, not facts or relationships, will be baselined. While data will appear in the reports after running initial sync, the full sync process is not complete, and the reports may be missing some data, until incremental sync has been run. The data that is moved over as part of this process is specified by the objects and attributes listed in the reporting binding files that have been imported into FIM. If no binding files exist, reporting initial sync will not move over any data. Running this script will result in creating a “Reporting Job” object in the FIM Service. You may view these jobs, and their statuses by navigating to Administration > All Resources > Reporting Job, and inspecting the “extended attributes” tab.
