When you add a new schedule, the time zone is preset to that of the client from which you started the Synchronization EditorClosed.

Start (date)

The day on which the schedule should be run for the first time. If this day conflicts with the defined interval type, the first run is on the next available day based on the start date.

Validity period

Period within which the schedule is run.

  • If the schedule will be run for an unlimited period, select the Unlimited duration option.

  • To set a validity period, select the Limited duration option and enter the day the schedule will be run for the last time in End (date).

Occurs

Interval in which the task is run. Other settings may be required depending on the settings.

  • Hourly: The schedule is run at defined intervals of a multiple of hours such as every two hours.

    • Under Repeat every, specify after how many hours the schedule is run again.

    • The starting point is calculated from the rate of occurrence and the interval type.

  • Daily: The schedule is run at specified times in a defined interval of days such as every second day at 6am and 6pm.

    • Under Start time, specify the times to run the schedule.

    • Under Repeat every, specify after how many days the schedule is run again.

  • Weekly: The schedule is run at a defined interval of weeks, on a specific day, at a specified time such as every second week on Monday at 6am and 6pm.

    • Under Start time, specify the times to run the schedule.

    • Under Repeat every, specify after how many weeks the schedule is run again.

    • Specify the set day of the week for running the schedule.

  • Weekly: The schedule is run at a defined interval of months, on a specific day, at a specified time such as every second month on the 1st and the 15th at 6am and 6pm.

    • Under Start time, specify the times to run the schedule.

    • Under Repeat every, specify after how many months the schedule is run again.

    • Specify the days of the month (1st - 31st of the month).

    NOTE: If the Monthly interval type with the sub interval 29, 30 or 31 does not exist in this month, the last day of the month is used.

    Example:

    A schedule that is run on the 31st day of each month is run on April 30th. In February, the schedule is run on the 28th (or 29th in leap year).

  • Yearly: The schedule is run at a defined interval of years, on a specific day, at a specified time such as every year on the 1st, the 100th, and the 200th day at 6am and 6pm.

    • Under Start time, specify the times to run the schedule.

    • Under Repeat every, specify after how many years the schedule is run again.

    • Specify the days of the year (1st - 366th day of the year).

      NOTE: If you select the 366th day of the year, the schedule is only run in leap years.

  • Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday: The schedule is run on a defined day of the week, in specified months, at specified times such as every second Saturday in January and June at 10am.

    • Under Start time, specify the times to run the schedule.

    • Under Repeat every, specify after how many days of the month the schedule is run again. The values 1 to 4, -1 (last day of the week), and -2 (last day but one of the week) are permitted.

    • Specify in which month to run the schedule. The values 1 to 12 are permitted. If the value is empty, the schedule is run each month.

Start time

Fixed start time Enter the time in local format for the chosen time zone. If there is a list of start times, the schedule is started at each of the given times.

Repeat every

Rate of occurrence for running the schedule within the selected time interval.

Setting up base objects

Base objects contain data about the target system to be synchronizedClosed, its system connection, and the synchronization serverClosed. Base objects form the basis for provisioning changes in the target system and synchronizing single objects. A base object is, for example, a specific Active Directory domain from the One Identity Manager database. The connection parameters for logging into a target system are assigned through a variable set. In addition, the synchronization server is declared in the base object.

Base objects are required for provisioning processes and single object synchronization of all the target systems that are connected by default to the One Identity Manager. You cannot normally specify a specific base object for provisioning and single object synchronization with database connectors or the CSV connectorClosed. In this case, assignment of one base table and the synchronization server is sufficient. You can only set up one synchronization projectClosed in the One Identity Manager database per base object.

The base object is used to determine which provisioning workflowClosed is suited to an object in the One Identity Manager database. In order to find the correct workflow for provisioning object modifications or for single object synchronization, you can only set up one synchronization project per base object.

If the synchronization project was creating using a default project templateClosed, a base object is added. You can edit this base object and create more base objects. If the synchronization project was created without a project template, no base object is set up.

NOTE: You cannot add base objects until the synchronization project has been permanently saved in the database.

How to create base objects

To add a base object using an existing database object

  1. Select the Configuration > Base objects category.

  2. Click in the document view toolbar.

  3. Edit the base object's main data.

  4. Click OK.

If the base object does not yet exist in the One Identity Manager database, use the wizard to create a base object.

NOTE: The wizard is only available to target systems that are contained in One Identity Manager as default modules. The wizard cannot be used in synchronization projectsClosed with the CSV connectorClosed or the generic database connectorClosed.

To add a base object using a wizard

  1. Select the Configuration > Base objects category.

  2. Click in the document view toolbar.

  3. On the welcome page, click Next.

  4. On the System access page, specify how One Identity Manager can access the target system.

    • If access is possible from the workstation on which you started the Synchronization EditorClosed, do not change any settings.

    • If access is not possible from the workstation on which you started the Synchronization Editor, you can establish a remote connection.

      Enable the Connect using remote connection server option and select the server to be used for the connection under Job serverClosed.

  5. Select the system connection for the new base object on the Create system connection page.

    Follow the system connection wizard instructions. For more information about the connection parameter you require, see the administration guides of the respective target systems.

  6. On the Synchronization server page, select the synchronization serverClosed to run synchronization.

    If the synchronization server is not declared as a Job server in the One Identity Manager database yet, you can add a new Job server.

    • Click to add a new Job server.

    • Enter a name for the Job server and the full server name conforming to DNS syntax.

    • Click OK.

      The synchronization server is declared as Job server for the target system in the One Identity Manager database.

      NOTE: After you save the synchronization project, ensure that this server is set up as a synchronization server.

  7. Click Finish to complete the wizard.

The wizard creates a variable set with the given connection parameters. It creates the synchronization base object, for example, the actual Active Directory domain you want to synchronize, as an object in the One Identity Manager database.
