You can create a deprovisioning step between two object types of two connected data systems in a sync workflow with the Add synchronization step < Deprovision setting. Creating a deprovisioning step instead of a deletion step is typically recommended to allow you reprovisioning the affected data objects later.
To create a deprovisioning step
- In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Sync Workflows tab.
-
Click the name of the sync workflow in which you want to create a deprovisioning step.
If necessary, create a new sync workflow. For more information, see Creating a sync workflow.
-
Click Add synchronization step.
-
Select Deprovision, then click Next.
-
Specify a deprovisioning source and criteria by using the following options:
-
Source connected system: Allows you to choose a source data system for the deprovision operation. To select a data system connected earlier or add and select a new data system, click Specify.
-
Source object type: Allows you to specify the data system object type you want to use as a source for the deprovision operation. To specify an object type, click Select.
-
Deprovision target objects if: Allows you to specify criteria for deprovisioning objects in the target data system.
-
-
Click Next.
-
Specify a deprovisioning target by using the following options:
-
Target connected system: Allows you to choose a target data system for the deprovision operation. To select a data system connected earlier or add and select a new data system, click Specify.
-
Target object type: Allows you to specify what type of objects you want to deprovision in the target data system. To specify an object type, click Select.
-
-
Click Next.
-
Select a method to deprovision objects in the target data system. You can select Delete target objects to delete target objects or Modify target objects to modify target objects using the rules configured in the following options:
-
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.
-
Rules to Move Objects: Expand this option to specify the location to which you want to move objects. Click the down arrow on the button, and then select one of the following:
-
Browse: Click to locate and select a single target container.
-
PowerShell Script: Click to compose a PowerShell script that calculates the target container name.
-
Rule: Click to configure a set of rules for selecting target containers.
-
Use Mapping: Click to define a target container based on the mapping of the source object.
-
Clear: Click to use an empty value.
-
-
Rules to Rename Objects: Allows you to view or change the list of rules used to rename target objects. For more information, see Generating object names by using rules.
-
-
Click Finish to create the deprovisioning step.
You can modify the settings of an existing synchronization step. For more information, see Modifying an existing sync workflow step.
