You can simulate synchronizationThe processSequence of process steps for mappingList of object matching rules and property mapping rules which map the schema properties of two connected systems to one another. an operational workflow. The process steps are connected to one another by predecessor/successor relationships. This functionality allows flexibility when linking up actions and sequences on object events. 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. before using a start up configuration to run it. Simulation allows you to estimate the result of synchronization. This means you can recognize potential errors in the synchronization configuration, for example. Reactions from the connected systemSystem the objects and their properties are transferred to during synchronization. The connected system is defined by the synchronization direction. Example of synchronization direction "Target system" (One Identity Manager -> Active Directory): Here Active Directory is the connected system and One Identity Manager is the primary system of synchronization. and it consequences cannot be incorporated because simulation cannot modify data.
Simulation runs the following actions:
- Show implementation plan
- Connects to the target system and One Identity Manager database
- Loads system objects
- Logs write operations for objects and their properties but does not run
Dependent objects and schema properties cannot be resolved if the objects already exist in the connected system. Unresolvable dependencies are logged.
IMPORTANT: Simulation changes data in neither One Identity Manager nor the target system. However, large amounts of data are read from both systems. This can affect system performance and processing.
All the data to be processed remains in the memory of the workstation running the simulation until the simulation is complete. Demands on memory may be heavy depending on the amount of data.
To start simulation
- Select the Configuration > Start up configurations category.
- Select a start up configuration in the document view and click Simulate....
- Click Start simulation.
- Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
A report is displayed after simulation has completed. You can save the report.
