Using variables and variable sets

You can use variables to create generally applicable synchronizationClosed configurations that contain the necessary information about the synchronization objects when synchronization starts. For example, you can use variables in the target system connection to synchronize different Active Directory domains with the same synchronization projectClosed.

Variables can be used in the following Synchronization EditorClosed definitions.

System connections in parameters
Scopes in the filter
SchemaClosed classes in the filter
Schema properties as defined value
Property mapping rules in the condition
Processing methods in the condition
Base objects in the definition

Variable sets are added for different instances of the variables. Each synchronization project has a default variable set, which has all the variables with a default value. The start up configuration contains a link to the variable set in use. If no variable set is given, the default variable set is used.

NOTE: If synchronization projects are updated, connection parameters from the default variable set are always used. Ensure that the variables in the default variable set contain the correct values.

A default variable set is defined if the synchronization project was creating using a default project templateClosed. You can add variables to this variable set. If the synchronization project was created without a project template, no variable sets are set up.

The default variable set contains all variables that are required in the synchronization project. New variables are created in the default variable set.

Create a specialized variable set to use variables with other values. You can change the values of the variables individually. Specialized variable sets only contain variables with modified values. Assign the specialized variable set to a start up configuration in order to use it.

A variable's value can also be found with a script, for example, for reading a system user's password from an external password management system.

How to create variables

To create a variable in the default variable set

  1. Select the Configuration > Variables.

    The default variable set is displayed with all available variables in the upper part of the document view.

  2. Click in the upper view's toolbar.

  3. Edit the variable's properties.
  4. Save the changes.

To create variables from connection parameters

  1. Edit the system connection properties.

    For more information, see How to edit system connection properties.

  2. Open the Connection parameters view.
  3. Select the parameter whose value should be converted and click Convert category.

    This button is not available if the parameter has already been converted into a variable. The variable name is displayed instead.

  4. Save the changes.
