Post-processing outstanding objects
Objects that are not in the target system are marked as outstanding. This prevents objects being deleted because of an incorrect data situation or an incorrect synchronization configuration.
Outstanding objects
This means, all memberships and assignments remain intact until the outstanding objects have been processed.
On the Outstanding Objects page, you can get an overview of outstanding objects, delete these objects in the database or add them back to the target system. Additionally, you can reset the status of these objects so that they are no longer marked as outstanding.
You can view the following information on the Outstanding Objects page.
