You can create a synchronization connection between two object types of two connected data systems in a sync workflow with the Add synchronization step < Creation setting. Typically, you need to specify a creation step either when configuring a new sync workflow, or must configure a new synchronization connection between two new object types in an existing sync workflow.
To add a creating step
-
In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Sync Workflows tab.
-
Click the name of the sync workflow in which you want to add a creating step.
If necessary, create a new sync workflow. For more information, see Creating a sync workflow.
-
Click Add synchronization step.
-
Select Creation, then click Next.
-
Specify the source system by using these options:
-
Source connected system: Allows you to choose a source data system for the creation operation. Click Specify to select a data system connected earlier or add and select a new data system.
-
Source object type: Allows you to specify the object type you want to use as a source for the creation operation. Click Select to specify an object type.
-
Creation Criteria: Allows you to narrow the scope of source data system objects that participate in the creating step. To specify the containers that hold the source objects you want to participate in the step, expand Creation Criteria. You can also specify additional conditions to include objects into the scope.
-
-
Click Next.
-
Specify the creation target by using these options:
-
Target connected system: Allows you to choose a target data system for the creation 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 the target data system object type to which you want to create objects from the source data system. To specify an object type, click Select.
-
Target container: Allows you to specify the target data system container in which you want to create 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 generate unique object name: Allows you to set up a list of rules to generate a unique name for each object being created. For more information, see Generating object names by using rules.
-
-
Click Next.
-
Specify rules to create objects into the target data system. You can use the following options:
-
Initial Attribute Population Rules: Expand this element to specify how you want to populate the attributes of created objects. For more information, see Modifying attribute values by using rules.
-
Initial Password: Expand this element to specify an initial password for each created object.
-
User Account Options: Expand this element to specify settings for the user accounts to be created.
-
-
To add the creating step, click Finish.
You can modify the settings of an existing synchronization step. For more information, see Modifying an existing sync workflow step.
