Checks Performed on Link Field Mappings
An integrity check performs the following checks on the field mappings you
define for the link. The Synchronizer also performs these checks when you
check the field mappings when you create or configure a link. Depending
on the type of field mapped, not all of these checks are performed for every
identity mapping.

Check Description
Checks that a field mapping is defined between the
endpoints and that it can be obtained by the
Synchronizer.
Checks that if a field mapping is defined from the
endpoint, the link is set to handle record creation or
updates in the other endpoint. Also checks that if the link
is set to handle record creation or updates in the
endpoint, a field mapping is defined to the endpoint.
Check Description
Checks that required fields in the destination endpoint
are mapped to a field in the source endpoint, or are
assigned a constant value. If this is not the case, the check
fails.
In addition, checks that recommended fields in the
destination endpoint are mapped to a field in the source
endpoint, or are assigned a constant value. If this is not
the case, the check passes with a warning.
Checks that the field exists in the endpoint.
Checks that if a mapping exists between fields of different
types, the values can be converted between the types.
For string type fields (String, Multi value list, Single value
list, User list), checks that the maximum length for values
for each of the fields in a mapping is the same. If the
maximum length is different, the check passes with a
warning that some values may be truncated.
