Take note of the following advice before creating a synchronization projectA collection of all data required for synchronizingThe processSequence of process steps for mappingList of object matching rules and property mapping rules which map the schema properties of two connected systems to one another. an operational workflow. The process steps are connected to one another by predecessor/successor relationships. This functionality allows flexibility when linking up actions and sequences on object events. of comparing data between One Identity Manager and a target system. Objects and their properties are compared by fixed rules. Synchronization results in the identical data situation in the target system and One Identity Manager database. and provisioning a target system. Connection data, schema classes and properties, mappings, and synchronization workflows all belongs to this.:
NOTE: It is possible that project templatesTemplateRule for mapping object properties. Templates can be applied to an object and also have a cross-object effect. used by the project wizard to create a preconfigured synchronization project. created with an older version of One Identity Manager are not compatible with the currently installed version. Errors may occur if these project templates are used. Recreate the project templates with the currently installed version of One Identity Manager.
NOTE: The script language of the synchronization project you want to set up, supports the project template script language.
CustomRuns processing logic which would normally be implemented in the object code, such as mutual exclusion of properties. The Customizer contains special methods and has side effects on the table columns. Several customizers can be defined for one table. project templates can also be used if expert mode is not enabled.
To create a synchronization project from a custom project template
-
Create a new synchronization project with the project wizard.
-
Select the custom project template on the Select project template page.
-
On the Synchronization base object page, select the base object that is required for the synchronization and provisioning processes.
- Base objectBase objects contain data about the target system to be synchronized, its system connection, and the synchronization server. table: Table to select the base object from, for example ADSDomain.
- Show more: Shows tables for other target system types in the base table menu.
- Base object: Object from the base table that forms the base object for synchronization and provisioning processes.
-
Proceed without a base object: Synchronization does not require a specific base object.
Set this option, if the base object is not in the One Identity Manager database yet.
-
On the Synchronization server page, select the synchronization serverJob serverServer with the One Identity Manager Service installed. installed with the target system connector. All One Identity Manager actions are run against the target system environment on the synchronization server. to run the synchronization.
If the synchronization server is not declared as a Job server in the One Identity Manager database yet, you can add a new Job server.
-
Click to add a new Job server.
-
Enter a name for the Job server and the full server name conforming to DNS syntax.
- Click OK.
The synchronization server is declared as Job server for the target system in the One Identity Manager database.
-
NOTE: After you save the synchronization project, ensure that this server is set up as a synchronization server.
-
-
Enter the general setting for the synchronization project under General.
- Display name: Display name for the synchronization project.
- Description: Text field for additional explanation.
-
Disable the Activate and save the new synchronization project automatically option on the last page of the project wizard.
The synchronization project should not be activated jet because it is not completely configured.
-
-
Changed the display names and description of the synchronization project if required.
-
Save the synchronization project in the database.
To configure synchronization with this synchronization project
-
Select the variables in the default variable set. Modify at least the value of variables with connection parameters.
-
Define the synchronization scope.
-
(Optional) If the base object does not yet exist in the One Identity Manager database, add the synchronization base object in the Manager. This might be the specific Active Directory domain to be synchronized, for example.
-
Specify the synchronization base object in the Synchronization EditorOne Identity Manager tool for configuring target system synchronizationPost processing of objects that were marked as outstanding by synchronization...
Select the base table for the base object you just added and the synchronization server.
-
- (Optional) In the DesignerTool for configuring the One Identity Manager., check if the operations for provisioning and single objects synchronization have been added. This is the case if the base object was entered when the synchronization project was created from the custom project template. Otherwise, define the required single object operations in the Designer.
-
Specify the extent of the synchronization log.
-
Assign a scheduleTask to run on a cyclical basis. Schedules control regular running of processes, calculation tasks, and other scheduled tasks. You define the start and interval times for the scheduled tasks. The activation time can be given in local time or Universal Time Code. A schedule can be in control of several tasks. to the start up configuration.
-
Run a consistency check.
-
Activate the synchronization project.
- Save the changes.
