When configuring a Scheduled Import for an Application or Directory, an interval of time is chosen for the frequency of imports.
-
This is the amount of time that will pass after the end of the previous import before the next import begins.
-
-
Once the next import is scheduled, Okta will automatically adjust the start time by a random time frame of fewer than 5 minutes.
-
This is to prevent deadlocks from multiple imports starting simultaneously.
-
Due to the above, the start time of a scheduled import will vary depending on the length of the previous import, and then can be further delayed by up to 5 minutes for performance tuning purposes.
Okta Support can enable a feature that allows Application Imports only to be scheduled at an exact time. Please contact Okta Support and reference this article for more information.
