Identity Manager 8.1.4 - Target System Synchronization Reference Guide

Apart from a connector’s default and additional processing methods, the Synchronization EditorOne Identity Manager tool for configuring target system synchronizationPost processing of objects that were marked as outstanding by synchronizationThe process of comparing data between One Identity Manager and a target system. Objects and their properties are compared by fixed rules. Synchronization results in the identical data situation in the target system and One Identity Manager database... can also use custom processing methods. This is done using custom scripts.

To set up and use a custom processing method

1. In the Designer, create a script to make the necessary modifications to the loaded objects.

   Script structure:

   <Tag("Projector")>
   <BaseObjectType("Table")>
   Public Sub CCC_ScriptName(unit As IUnitOfWork, entity As IEntity())
      'Steps to execute
      ...
   End Sub

   • <Tag("Projector")>: Labels the script to use as a processing method. This enables the Synchronization Editor to identify the scripts to use as processing methods.

   • <BaseObjectType("Table")>: Defines the type of objects the script will be applied to. Enter the table that contains the objects to be handled.

     If the script can be applied to several object types, define a separate object type for each table.

   • CCC_ScriptName: Script name. In the Synchronization Editor, you can select the script as the processing method under this name. Enter a name that uniquely describes the processing method.

   For detailed information about creating scripts with the Script Editor, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

2. Compile the script.

3. Open the synchronization projectA collection of all data required for synchronizing and provisioning a target system. Connection data, schema classes and properties, mappingsList of object matching rules and property mapping rules which map the schema properties of two connected systems to one another., and synchronization workflows all belongs to this. in the Synchronization Editor.

4. Select the Configuration | One Identity Manager connection category and update the One Identity Manager schema.

5. In the Workflows category, select the synchronization workflow in which you want to use the new processing method.

6. Find the synchronization stepSpecific rule for processing exactly two schema classes. and click Edit.

   The synchronization step must handle the object type defined in the script.

7. On the Processing tab, you can select processing methods under the script name.

<Tag("Projector")>
<BaseObjectType("Department")>
<BaseObjectType("Locality")>
Public Sub CCC_Department_RemoveManager(unit As IUnitOfWork, entities As IEntity())
   For Each currEntity As IEntity In entities
      If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(currEntity.GetValue("UID_PersonHead").ToString()) Then
         currEntity.PutValue("UID_PersonHead","")
         unit.Put(currEntity)
      End If 
   Next
End Sub
