This paper talks about installing and using the Pirean ITIM Reconciler tool which has been developed to manage ITIM reconciliation in a large scale ITIM environment, with many defined ITIM services. The Reconciler tool allows "on the fly" parallel reconciliations of ITIM services with many flexible configuration options and significantly reduces overall reconciliation times. Using the standard ITIM GUI, an administrator is constrained by having to schedule each individual reconciliation separately, without knowing exactly how long each reconciliation will take (and gaps therefore have to be scheduled between reconciliations).
With the Reconciler tool there is no need for these gaps, since each reconciliation starts as soon as the previous one has finished. Consequently the overall time for reconciling all services is dramatically decreased. The Reconciler tool constantly queries ITIM APIs for completed reconciliations and starts the next service reconciliation if the number of reconciliations running has dropped below the maximum configured number of parallel reconciliations allowed on the system.
