Yes, you can specify in the configuration where in the "tree" you want to start pulling data, or you can do a full sync but exclude specific parts of the directory. This is useful during initial testing when you want to sync only a small subset. This may be employed in a production sync to control exactly what containers to pull from the source.
The Selection (or Tree) parameter should be set with complete ldap syntax to identify the source container(s) to pull.
i.e. ou=Container Name,dc=domain,dc=com
You may specify multiple containers by separating them with a | symbol.
i.e. ou=Container Name,dc=domain,dc=com|ou=Another Container,dc=domain,dc=com
This parameter is on the Source tab.
Be careful when employing a Selection after performing a full sync that does NOT employ Selection. If you previously synced the entire source (no Selection) and you then ADD a Selection to reduce the source data to pull, any objects outside the specified Selection will be deleted from the destination.
