This example illustrates how to configure a creating step to synchronize multivalued attributes from an Active Directory domain to an AD LDS (ADAM) instance. The example demonstrates how to create rules in the step to synchronize the value of the otherTelephone attribute in the Active Directory domain to the otherTelephone attribute in AD LDS (ADAM).
To synchronize the otherTelephone attribute
-
Follow the procedure of the Adding a creating step section until you reach the Specify creation rules page.
-
In the Initial Attribute Population Rules element, click the down arrow on the leftmost button below the list to select Forward Sync Rule.
-
In the dialog that opens, add the following pair of attributes:
For more information about the options in this dialog, see Configuring a forward sync rule.
-
When you are finished, click OK.
-
Follow the steps in the wizard to complete the configuration of the creating step.
The provides an email notification service that allows you to inform recipients about the completion of a sync workflow run.
For each sync workflow that includes at least one synchronization step, you can configure multiple alerts. Then, when a sync workflow run completes, the recipients signed up for the alert receive an email message informing them about the completion of the sync workflow run. For example, you can use sync workflow alerts to inform recipients when a sync workflow run completes with errors.
To manage alerts for a sync workflow, navigate to the Sync Workflows tab in the , and then click the Manage alerts link below the sync workflow.
To manage outgoing mail profiles for sending sync workflow alerts, in the , click the Settings menu in the upper right corner, and then click the Mail Profiles.
You can create or edit email-based alerts for existing sync workflows, allowing you to send notifications about key synchronization events, such as completing sync workflow runs or detecting errors.
To create or edit an alert
- In the Console, open the Sync Workflows tab.
-
Click the Manage alerts link below the sync workflow for which you want to create or edit an alert.
NOTE: The Manage alerts link is only available on sync workflows that include one or more synchronization steps.
-
In the Manage Sync Workflow Alerts dialog, do one of the following:
-
If you want to create a new alert, click Add under the Sync workflow alerts list.
-
If you want to edit an existing alert, select that alert in the Sync workflow alerts list, and then click Edit under the list.
-
To specify alert settings, use the following options in the dialog that opens, and click OK:
-
When this event occurs: Select an event that will trigger the alert. You can select one of the following:
-
Sync workflow run completes (with or without errors): Triggers the alert upon the sync workflow run completion regardless of any errors encountered in the run.
-
Sync workflow run completes with errors: Triggers the alert only when the sync workflow run completed with errors.
-
Send email to: Enter the email addresses of the recipients to which you want to send a notification email message when the selected event occurs. When specifying multiple email addresses, use a semicolon as a separator.
-
Email message subject: Enter the text you want to include in the subject of the notification email.
-
Ignore mapping errors: Select this check box if you want the alert to skip mapping errors in sync workflow runs. This check box is only available when you select Sync workflow run completes with errors in the When this event occurs option.
-
Ignore non-fatal errors in: Select this check box if you want this alert to skip non-fatal errors in sync workflow runs. A non-fatal error causes a sync workflow run to partially succeed. A fatal error causes a sync workflow run to fail. If you select this check box, you must also select one of the following options:
-
All sync workflow steps: Causes the alert to skip non-fatal errors in all steps of the sync workflow.
-
The specified sync workflow steps: Causes the alert to skip non-fatal errors only in the sync workflow steps you specify. To specify multiple steps, either enter the step numbers separated by commas (for example, 1, 3, 5), or specify a range of steps using dash as a separator (for example, 1, 3, 5-8).
NOTE: This check box is only available if you select Sync workflow run completes with errors in the When this event occurs option.
-
Use the Send email using this outgoing mail profile list to select the settings to be used for sending notification emails generated by the alerts in the Sync workflow alerts list.
To configure the current outgoing mail profile, click Properties. For more information, see Managing outgoing mail profiles.
-
When you are finished, click OK to close the Manage Sync Workflow Alerts dialog.
You can delete existing sync workflow alerts in the . This is useful for housekeeping purposes, for example when a sync workflow is modified, and its original alarms are no longer applicable.
To delete an alert
- In the Console, open the Sync Workflows tab.
-
Click the Manage alerts link below the sync workflow for which you want to delete an alert.
NOTE: The Manage alerts link is only available on sync workflows that include one or more synchronization steps.
-
In the Sync workflow alerts list, select the alert you want to delete, and then click Delete under the list.
