Snapshots of objects or object references

Change labels contain changes to individual properties of an object at a certain point in time. Change labels may consist of:

  • Snapshot of an object at a certain point in time, optionally with dependent objects (default)

    When you create a custom configuration package, the object is added to the transport package with all its properties. The properties contain the values given at the time they were added.

  • Object reference, optionally with all its dependent objects

    When you create a custom configuration package, the object is added to the transport package with all its properties. The properties are determined at the time of export.

You specify whether an object is added to a change label as a snapshot or a reference when you save the assignment.

NOTE: Snapshots of objects and object references cannot be grouped together in one change label. Use different change labels for this.

Tips for working with change labels

You can create and edit change labels in different One Identity Manager tools. Note the following tips for working with change labels.

  • Be consistent about booking all the changes made to one object to the change label. It is not possible to add changes of individual properties to the change label at a later date.

  • Snapshots of objects and object references cannot be grouped together in one change label. Use different change labels for this.

  • Whether objects are assigned to a change label as snapshots or as references depends on the selected change labels

  • Normally, objects can be assigned to a change label beforehand or on saving. For example, in the Designer, you can assign a change label when you commit changes to the database.

  • In the Manager and in the Designer, you can assign objects to change labels in their properties dialog.

  • The Manager and in the Designer have their own edit dialog that allows more comprehensive editing of change labels.

  • To use change labels in the Manager, the Manager must be running in expert mode.

Assigning objects and dependencies to change labels

You can select individual objects from any objects in the database and book them to a change label. For example, use the Designer to book processes and their dependents to change labels and approval procedures. In the Manager, you can assign approval policies, approval workflows, approval steps, and approval procedures to change labels.

To assign objects and dependencies to a change label

  1. In the Manager or the Designer, select the object and open the Properties context menu.

  2. You can see which change labels the object belongs to on the Change labels tag.

    • To create a new change label assign it, select the New change label and enter a name for the change label in the input field.

    • To assign an existing change label, select the Existing change label option and select a change label from the menu.

    1. Click Add dependent objects.

    2. Check that all the required dependencies are enable.

    3. Enable other dependencies if required.

      TIP: Use the button to switch between the relation and the selected objects and to identify the dependencies.
