The Target setting allows you to view information about the target connected system and target object type specified for the synchronization step. For creating steps, you can use this tab to view and modify the target container to which objects are created and rules to generate unique names for created objects.
For all types of synchronization steps (creating, deprovisioning, and updating) this tab provides the following elements:
-
Target connected system: Displays the name of the data system that is currently used as a target for the synchronization step.
-
Target object type: Displays the object type that is currently used as a target for the synchronization step.
For creating steps related to certain types of target data systems, this tab may also provide any of the following additional elements:
-
Target container: Allows you to specify the target data system container in which you want to create objects from the source data system. For more information, see Generating object names by using rules.
-
Rules to generate unique object name: Allows you to set up a list of rules to generate a unique name for each object being created. For more information, see Generating object names by using rules.
Creation rules allow you to view or modify the rules used for creating objects. This tab has the following elements:
-
Initial Attribute Population Rules: Expand this element to view or modify the rules for populating the attributes of objects being created.
-
Initial Password: Expand this element to view or modify how an initial password is generated for each object being created.
-
User Account Options: Expand this element to view or modify the settings used for creating user accounts in the result of the creation operation.
You can use this tab to import or export initial attribute population rules.

Deprovisioning rules allow you to select a method for deprovisioning synchronized objects. As part of deprovisioning, you can either delete the target objects if the source objects meet the synchronization criteria configured in the wizard, or just modify the target objects using the following deprovisioning rules.
-
Rules to Modify Object Attributes: Allows you to set up a list of rules to modify object attributes in the target data system. For more information, see Modifying attribute values by using rules.
