Concurrence behavior of synchronization objects

It is possible that synchronizationClosed objects have been changed at the same time in both connected systemsClosed or are being processed automatically that processing is not yet complete. These objects are excluded by default to avoid data conflict. If possible, synchronization of these objects is repeated by the next synchronization run. Excluded objects are recorded in the synchronization log.

In rare cases, it may still be necessary to synchronize some properties of these objects immediately, to transfer safety-critical changes, for example. You can configure the behavior you require in the property mapping rules.

To force synchronization of individual schema properties

  1. Edit the property mapping rule for this schema property.

    For more information, see How to edit property mapping rules.

  2. In the Concurrence behavior field, set the value Apply rule.

    This applies the property mapping rule, overwriting any data changes in the connected system.

    IMPORTANT: Only select this option in exceptional cases. Afterward, check the data modifications that might be overwritten by this.

Setting up synchronization

Use the Synchronization EditorClosed to configure connections for different target system in One Identity Manager. The components of a synchronization configuration are used for both synchronization and for provisioning and synchronizing single objects. Synchronization can be configured so it can be used for connecting different target systems of the same target system type.

Starting the Synchronization Editor

There are different ways to start the Synchronization EditorClosed.

  • From the Windows start menu using the One Identity > One Identity Manager > Configuration > Synchronization Editor entry.

  • From the Launchpad.

  • In the Manager

  • From the command line.

Creating a synchronization project

A synchronization projectClosed collects all the information required for synchronizing the One Identity Manager database with a target system. Connection data for target systems, schema types and properties, mapping, and synchronization workflowsClosed all belong to this.

Prerequisites

  • A synchronization serverClosed is set up and declared in the One Identity Manager database.

There is a wizard to assist you with setting up a synchronization project. This wizard takes you through all the steps you need to set up initial synchronization with a target system. The project wizard takes over the following tasks:

  • Connecting to the Target System
  • Connecting to the One Identity Manager database
  • Defining synchronization behavior

    The synchronization behavior can be configured based on target system-specific project templatesClosed. For certain target systems, One Identity Manager supplies a default project template. The project wizard copies the project template data. This can be modified with the project wizard to suit the new synchronization project. Just one synchronization project can be created per target system and default project template used.

After saving the synchronization project, you can alter the synchronization configuration.

To complete synchronization configuration

  1. Check the mappings, workflows, start up configuration, and system connection that the wizard has added.
  2. Assign a scheduleClosed to the start up configuration.
  3. If you want to use the synchronization project to synchronize different target systems, specify variables, and variable sets.
  4. Activate the synchronization project. The synchronization cannot be started until these are resolved.

NOTE: The current synchronization project is closed when you open another synchronization project.
