How to delete a workflow

To delete a workflow

  1. Select the Workflows category.
  2. Select the workflow in the navigation view.
  3. Click in the navigation view.
  4. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.

Creating workflows with the workflow wizard

The project wizard creates a synchronization workflowClosed for initially loading the target system objects into the One Identity Manager database. You can use the workflow wizard to set up more workflows. The workflow wizard specifies workflows for the direction of synchronization "target system".

To create a workflow with the workflow wizard

  1. Select the Workflows category.
  2. Click in the navigation view.

    This starts the workflow wizard.

    Click Next.

  3. Enter the following workflow properties
    Table 49: General workflow properties
    Property Description
    Display name Enter a display name for the workflow.
    Description Text field for additional explanation.

    Click Next.

  4. Select the mapping to be handled by the workflow.

    All mappings are enabled by default.

    To disable a mapping, double-click .

    To enable a mapping, double-click .

    NOTE: The Part of hierarchy displays which mappings form part of the object hierarchy. To prevent errors, all mappings, which map the object hierarchy, must be entirely selected or entirely de-selected.
  5. Specify the mappings for which revision filtering is permitted.

    Revision filteringClosed is permitted for all mapping, by default.

    Click Next.

  6. Specify synchronization behavior for the object pair whose properties have changed.

    1. In the Database method column, select the processing method to be run in the One Identity Manager database.

      - OR -

    2. In the Target systemClosed method column, select the processing method to be run in the target system.

    Click Next.

  7. Specify synchronization behavior for the objects that only exist in the One Identity Manager database.

    1. In the Database method column, select the processing method to be run in the One Identity Manager database.

      - OR -

    2. In the Target system method column, select the processing method to be run in the target system.

    Click Next.

  8. Specify synchronization behavior for objects that only exist in the target system.

    1. In the Database method column, select the processing method to be run in the One Identity Manager database.

      - OR -

    2. In the Target system method column, select the processing method to be run in the target system.

    Click Next.

  9. Click Close to end the workflow wizard.

    This creates the workflow. You can check the properties of the WorkflowClosed and the synchronization steps with the workflow editor and rework them.

NOTE: A disabled synchronization step is added if no processing methods have been specified for a mapping.

Properties of a workflow

Enter the following properties for a workflow.

Table 50: General workflow properties

Properties

Meaning

WorkflowClosed

Workflow display name.

Direction of synchronization

Select the direction in which synchronization should take place.

  • Defined when run: The synchronization direction is defined in the start up configuration.

    For more information, see Start up configuration properties.

  • Target systemClosed: One Identity Manager is the primary system for synchronization.

  • One Identity Manager The target system is the primary system for synchronization.

Revision filteringClosed

The revision filtering can be used to limit synchronization to just the objects that have been modified since the last synchronization.

For more information, see How does revision filtering work?.

  • Defined when run: The required behavior is defined in the start up configuration.

  • Use revision filter: Only modified objects are synchronized.

  • Do not use revision filter: All objects are synchronized.

Error Handling

Specify whether synchronization should be continued if an error occurs during processing of synchronization objects (adding, deleting, updating, and reloading objects). Object processing is continued using the next object; the error is logged.

To optimize error localization, you can stop synchronization if an error occurs during the processing of synchronization objects. In this case, no further synchronization objects are processed.

NOTE: This property does not affect configuration, network, or general synchronization errors (for example, if it is not possible to resolve a reference). The effectiveness of this property depends on the actual error, error position, the target system, and the implementation of the target system connectors.

  • Continue on error: Processing continues with the next object. Errors are logged.

    This option should be used for productive systems.

  • Break on error: Synchronization is stopped.

    This option should only be used to find errors, for example in going live processes.

Dependency resolution

Specify how dependencies between synchronization step are resolved.

For more information, see How does dependency resolution work?.

  • Automatic: Dependencies are resolved automatically.

    One Identity Manager determines the sequence of the synchronization steps automatically. It takes into account dependencies between schema classes to synchronize and schema properties.

  • Manual: Dependencies are not resolved.

    The synchronization steps are processed sequentially in the order listed in the workflow view. Dependencies between the schema classes and the schema properties must be taken into account when compiling the synchronization steps.

Description

Text field for additional explanation.

Editing synchronization steps

The synchronization stepsClosed in a workflow specify which mappings are processed in which order during synchronizationClosed. There may be dependencies between synchronization steps. These must be resolved automatically or manually.

Synchronization steps are displayed in the workflow view. Here, you can edit synchronization step properties and their order.

Defining synchronization steps:

  • Mappings to be processed
  • Property mapping rules to apply
  • Processing methods
  • Number of objects to compare
  • Objects to compare (revision filter)
  • Direction of synchronization
