WRITER

Mode for filling up the repository without any operation processing. Input records are simply written to the repository, which is cleared beforehand. This mode supersedes prior Repository Writer and Repository Key Convertor steps.Caution: It is necessary for group IDs and roles in input records to be properly filled in and consistent with the rules specified in unification operations.

RELOAD

Mode for filling up the repository. Unification operations use input records for determining group IDs. The repository is cleared beforehand. This mode supersedes the useExternalIds switch in prior Unification steps.Caution: It is necessary that group ids and roles in input records are properly filled in.

IDENTIFY

Mode for identifying records against the repository. This implies read-only access to the repository. Identified records will get group ids from the repository and the role 'S', unidentified records make up a new separate group with a pseudo-id which is always a negative number.
