Re-applying templates
You can use templates in One Identity Manager to populate columns with default values or to map a column value from another column. For more information about templates, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide
In the Manager, you can re-apply the templates to the objects. This may be necessary if you have changed a template. In this case, column values determined by a template will be updated.
NOTE:
-
Columns of an object are then also filled if they are not viewable on the current form in the Manager.
-
This could also cause large numbers of dependent objects to be modified and processes to be generated.
-
Templates defined in customizers are also run again.
To re-apply templates to the current object
-
In the Manager, select the object to which you wish to reapply the template.
-
Select the Change main data task.
-
In the menu, select the Object > Reapply templates menu item.
- Save the changes.
Exporting data with the Manager
You can use the Manager to export application data. An export form in CSV format supports the data export. You can process the data further using a program such as Microsoft Office Excel or import it into another One Identity Manager database. You can export all data of a base table. In addition, you can export the data of tables that are linked by a foreign key relation to the base table.
You can save the export definition as a report that can be viewed and subscribed to in the Web Portal.
NOTE: To export data, users need the Data export option (Common_DatabaseExport) program function.

Creating data exports
Create an export definition and export the data to further process it with something such as Microsoft Office Excel or to import it into another One Identity Manager database.
NOTE: You can also export the file by selecting a menu item in the Manager navigation view. By default, the entries on the result list of the selected menu item are applied to the export. Under certain circumstances, the generated filter for the data set to be exported cannot be edited using the database query wizard. In this case, change the condition directly.
To create an export
-
In the Manager, select the Database > Export data menu item to open the export form.
-
In the Column selection pane in the Base table menu, select the table from which the data is exported.
The database columns that can be exported are loaded and displayed in tabular form. The columns of the selected base table are displayed. In addition, all tables linked by a foreign key relation to the base table are displayed.
-
Select the columns that you wish to export and click the Export option.
-
Use the Export display value option to set whether you wish to export actual values from the column or the display name. This may be necessary for database columns with special formatting, such as multilingual entries or a specified number of decimal places.
-
(Optional) In the Columns to export pane, use the 
, 
, and 
buttons to adjust the sort order of the export columns.
-
(Optional) In the Condition pane, create a condition for further limiting the data records to be exported. The condition is defined as a valid where clause for database queries. You can enter the SQL query directly or with a wizard. Click 
next to the field to open the wizard.
-
In the Export data pane, select the time zone for the export and create a preview of the export using the 
button.
NOTE: If you are exporting dates, such as the date of birth or leaving date, you can specify how blank dates are handled during export. To do this, use the button 
.
The records that meet the export criteria are displayed in tabular form. Change how the data is sorted, if necessary. Click a column in the table header of the result list to sort by the selected column.
NOTE: The sort order of the preview is not only used for display purposes, but also affects the data export. The data is exported as displayed in the preview.
-
In the Export data pane, use the 
button to start the export. Use the file browser to select the directory path for the export and enter a file name for the export.
-
To generate the .csv file, click Save.
