Working with the Designer

General tips for the Designer

During the startup process the Designer fills an internal database. SQLite is used for the database system. This internal database contains the schema and the files from the system components of the connected One Identity Manager database.

Depending on the program’s configuration, the internal database is either loaded into main memory or copied to the hard drive of the workstation. To avoid data inconsistencies, only one instance of the program should be started per database. If the database from the first instance is copied to hard disk then the databases for all other instances are loaded into main memory.

All changes to objects in the program are made in the internal database. Permissions, formatting rules and side-effects of the Customizer are taken into consideration. Changes made by the user are recorded in a change log. If the internal database is stored on the hard drive, all additional changes are also logged to this database. This means that you can restore to the last working state after connecting to the database if the program crashes.

When the data is transferred all recorded changes are made to the One Identity Manager database. This is done at object level so that, for example, processes are generated and formatting rules are observed. The principle "last writer wins" applies here as opposed to the previous object processing. That means that changes have been made by a user to object properties in the mean time are overwritten.

Depending on the program settings, the internal database is deleted from the hard drive when the program has finished. This means that all the data has to be loaded from the One Identity Manager database when the program is restarted. If the internal database is not deleted when the program finishes, the next program start up can be accelerated because only changes from the One Identity Manager that is connected have to be loaded.
