If you don't plan to use Identity Provisioning, you don't need to run the Platform Receiver.

You might need to permanently exclude some users and groups from Identity Provisioning. You might want to phase in your implementation by using a subset of your users and groups to start with. For details about excluding users and groups from Identity Provisioning, see AM.USER.INCLUDE Statement / AM.USER.EXCLUDE Statement and AM.GROUP.INCLUDE Statement / AM.GROUP.EXCLUDE Statement.

If the base Receiver scripts do not meet your needs, you can write your own extensions. Decide what additional processing you will perform and how you will test your extensions.

All platforms in a Platform Set have the same population of users and groups associated with them for Identity Provisioning. Users and groups on UNIX platforms in Platform Sets that share a common UID/GID Set have the same UID or GID on each participating platform. Decide how you will organize your Platform Sets and UID/GID Sets.

If yours is an OS/400 platform, you might need to map eDirectory attribute names to System Distribution Directory names. For more information, see the Platform Services Administration Guide for OS/400.

You must specify which core drivers are used for Identity Provisioning. For details, see Section 3.3.26, PROVISIONING Statement.

You must choose the mode of operation used by the Platform Receiver to obtain events. For details, see Modes of Operation and Selecting a Mode of Operation.
