The project wizard creates a synchronization workflowSpecifies the order of all the synchronization stepsSpecific rule for processingSequence of process steps for mappingList of object matching rules and property mapping rules which map the schema properties of two connected systems to one another. an operational workflow. The process steps are connected to one another by predecessor/successor relationships. This functionality allows flexibility when linking up actions and sequences on object events. exactly two schema classes. to be run during synchronizationThe process of comparing data between One Identity Manager and a target system. Objects and their properties are compared by fixed rules. Synchronization results in the identical data situation in the target system and One Identity Manager database.. 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 48: 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 filteringMethod for accelerating synchronization. Only objects that have changed since the last synchronization are fully loaded and synchronized. RevisionHighest value of the revision countersInformation about the last change to a system object. The revision counter is used to determine the objects that have changed since the last synchronization. of all a schema type's objects that are synchronized during a synchronization run. This value is stored in the DPRRevisionStore table, in the Value column. It is used as a comparison value for revision filtering when the same workflow is synchronized the next time. filtering can only be used if the target system supports it. 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 systemAn instance of a target system in which the employees managed by One Identity Manager have access to network resourcesEquipment that is necessary for an employee's work efficiency, for example, mobile phones, desks, company cars, or keys. Resources can be any equipment that is not system entitlements, devices, or software.. Example: An Active Directory domain X for target system type "Active Directory", a directory Y for target system type "LDAP", a client Z for target system type "SAP R/3". 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 Workflowsee decision workflow, see provisioning workflowSpecifies the order in which the synchronization steps are provisioned., see synchronization workflow, and the synchronization steps with the workflow editor and rework them.
