Specifying connection settings for an Oracle Database user account connection

The Specify connection settings option provides the following settings, allowing you to modify the connection:

  • Oracle service name: Specify the name of the Oracle service you want to use to access Oracle Database user account. You can click Refresh to get a list of available Oracle services.
  • Access Oracle service with: Type the user name and password of the account with which you want to access the Oracle service.
  • Test Connection: Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.

Configuring advanced settings for an Oracle Database or Oracle Database user account connection

The Advanced setting provides the following options that allow you to specify custom SQL queries which will automatically run each time Synchronization Service has created, updated, or deleted a user account in Oracle Database:

  • SQL queries to run after user provisioned: Specifies the SQL queries to run each time Synchronization Service creates a user account in the Oracle Database.

  • SQL queries to run after user updated: Specifies the SQL queries to run each time Synchronization Service updates a user account in the Oracle Database.

  • SQL queries to run after user deprovisioned: Specifies the SQL queries to run each time Synchronization Service deletes a user account in the Oracle Database.

Below each of these options, you can use the following buttons:

  • Add: Adds a new SQL query to the list.

  • Edit: Allows you to edit the SQL query selected in the list.

  • Delete: Deletes the SQL query selected in the list.

SQL queries run in the order they are listed. If necessary, you can rearrange the SQL queries in the lists: select an SQL query in the appropriate list, then click the up or down arrow button to move the query as necessary.

Sample SQL queries for working with Oracle Database user accounts

This section provides some SQL query examples that you can use a baseline for your own queries toward the connected Oracle Database system.

Example: Calling an Oracle stored procedure

This SQL query illustrates how to call a specific Oracle stored procedure:

CALL "<ProcedureName>"('&USERNAME')

In this query:

  • ProcedureName specifies the name of the Oracle stored procedure you want to call.

  • USERNAME refers to the name of the attribute that uniquely identifies a user in the target Oracle Database system.

Example: Creating a new user in the Oracle Database

This SQL query illustrates how to create a new user in the connected Oracle Database:

insert into DatabaseTable(ColumnName) values (upper('&USERNAME'))

In this sample query:

  • DatabaseTable specifies the name of the table into which the entry will be added.

  • USERNAME refers to the name of the attribute that uniquely identifies a user in the target Oracle Database system.

Working with Exchange Server

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to Microsoft Exchange Server so that Synchronization Service could read and write data in that data system. This section also describes what data you can read and/or write in Exchange Server by using Synchronization Service.

To create a connection to Microsoft Exchange, you need to use Synchronization Service in conjunction with a special connector called Exchange Server Connector. This connector is included in the Synchronization Service package.

The Exchange Server Connector supports the following features:

Table 14: Exchange Server Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration.

No

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

No
