BNo

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In an optimized aggregation, if an account has not changed since the last aggregation, the Virtual Appliance (VA) does not need to connect to the target system to retrieve that account's information again. Optimized aggregation is designed to reduce the load on the system by skipping over accounts that have not been updated, thus preventing unnecessary data retrieval and improving performance.

During optimized aggregation, only accounts or data that have been modified or added since the last aggregation are retrieved. This efficiency is achieved by using timestamps or incremental updates to determine which data needs to be pulled from the target system.

Hmm, if the account is unchanged, why waste time and resources retrieving it? Seems like a no-brainer to me.

If my account hasn't changed, why bother checking it again? Lazy system if you ask me.
