is started using . It is possible to start synchronization manually in the . You can simulate synchronization beforehand to estimate synchronization results and discover errors in the synchronization configuration. If synchronization stopped unexpectedly, you must reset the start information to be able to restart synchronization.
IMPORTANT: As long as a synchronization process is running, you must not start another synchronization process for the same target system. This especially applies, if the same synchronization objects would be processed.
-
If another synchronization process is started with the same start up configuration, the process is stopped and is assigned Frozen status. An error message is written to the log file.
-
Starting another synchronization process with different start up configuration that addresses same target system may lead to synchronization errors or loss of data. Specify One Identity Manager behavior in this case, in the start up configuration.
If you want to specify the order in which target systems are synchronized, use the start up sequence to run synchronization. In a start up sequence, you can combine start up configurations from different and specify the order in which they are run.
Detailed information about this topic
You can simulate before using a start up configuration to run it. Simulation allows you to estimate the result of synchronization. This means you can recognize potential errors in the synchronization configuration, for example. Reactions from the and it consequences cannot be incorporated because simulation cannot modify data.
Simulation runs the following actions:
- Show implementation plan
- Connects to the target system and One Identity Manager database
- Loads system objects
- Logs write operations for objects and their properties but does not run
Dependent objects and schema properties cannot be resolved if the objects already exist in the connected system. Unresolvable dependencies are logged.
IMPORTANT: Simulation changes data in neither One Identity Manager nor the target system. However, large amounts of data are read from both systems. This can affect system performance and processing.
All the data to be processed remains in the memory of the workstation running the simulation until the simulation is complete. Demands on memory may be heavy depending on the amount of data.
To start simulation
- Select the Configuration > Start up configurations category.
- Select a start up configuration in the document view and click Simulate....
- Click Start simulation.
- Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
A report is displayed after simulation has completed. You can save the report.
By default, are started using scheduled . In the , it is also possible to start a start up sequence manually.
To start a start up sequence manually
- In the Synchronization Editor, select the Database > Manage start up sequences menu item.
- In the Sequences pane, double-click the start up sequence.
- In the Included start up information, click
