Creating an Oracle Database user accounts connection

You can create a new Oracle Database user accounts connection in the Synchronization Service Console.

To create a new Oracle Database user accounts connection

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.
  2. Click Add connection, then use the following options:
    • Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    • Use the specified connector: Select Oracle Database User Accounts Connector.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:
    • 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.
    • To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.

  5. Click Next.

  6. On the Specify how to select and modify data page, use the following options:

    • Use data from this table: Allows you to select a database table that includes the data you want to participate in the synchronization operations. You can click Preview to preview the database table you have selected.

    • Use an SQL query to specify data: Allows you to compose an SQL query that provides a more flexible way for specifying the data for synchronization. For example, you can use this option to specify multiple database tables.

  7. Click Next.

  8. On the Specify attributes to identify objects page, use the following options:

    • Available attributes: Lists the attributes that are available in the external data system. Use this list to select the attributes whose values you want to use to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system. You can filter attributes by typing in the text box at the top of this list. To select multiple attributes, hold down CTRL and click to select attributes in the list.

    • UniqueID attributes: Lists the attributes whose values are currently used to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

    • Add: Moves the selected attributes from the Available attributes list to the UniqueID attributes list.

    • Remove: Moves the selected attributes from the UniqueID attributes list to the Available attributes list.

    • Constructed UniqueID: Displays a combination of the attributes whose values will make up a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

  9. To complete configuring the connection to the Oracle Database, click Finish.

After connecting Synchronization Service to the Oracle Database with the Oracle Database User Accounts Connector, you can specify custom SQL queries that will automatically run each time after Synchronization Service created, updated, or deleted a user account in Oracle Database User Accounts. For more information, see Modifying an existing Oracle Database connection.

Modifying an existing Oracle Database user account connection

You can modify an existing Oracle Database user accounts connection in the Synchronization Service Console.

  • Access Oracle service with: Type the user name and password of the account with which you want to access the Oracle service.
  • To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.

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.
