Sync Workflows tab
Allows you to manage data synchronization workflows for connected data systems. A sync workflow can include a number of synchronization steps, each performing a specific data synchronization operation (creation, deprovision, or update). For more information on sync workflows and their steps, see Synchronizing identity data.
You can also use this tab to manage email notification settings for each existing sync workflow. For more information, see Using sync workflow alerts.
On the Sync Workflows tab, you can use the following elements (some of these elements become available only after you create at least one sync workflow with one or more synchronization steps):
- Add sync workflow. Creates a new sync workflow.
- Filter by. Allows you to filter existing sync workflows by the letters or text you type in the text box. The filter applies to the sync workflow names.
- Sort by. Allows you to sort existing sync workflows by workflow name, last run time, or the number of synchronization steps.
- <Workflow Name>. Represents a sync workflow. You can click the workflow name to view and add, delete, or modify synchronization steps in that workflow.
- Schedule. Allows you to create a schedule for running the sync workflow.
- Manage alerts. Allows you to add, delete, or edit alerts for a sync workflow. An alert allows you to automatically send notification emails about the completion of the sync workflow run to specified recipients.
- Rename. Allows you to rename the sync workflow.
- Delete. Deletes the sync workflow.
Sync History tab
Allows you to view and selectively clean up the synchronization history. This is the history of sync workflow runs and object mapping operations. For more information, see Synchronization history.
On the Sync History tab, you can use the following elements:
- Clean up now. Allows you to selectively clean up sync history entries by specifying the age of the entries that you want to clean up.
- Schedule cleanup. Allows you to schedule a recurring cleanup operation for the sync history.
- Sync Workflow History. Allows you to view a list of completed sync workflow runs and the details of objects that participated in a particular sync workflow run.
- Mapping History. Allows you to view a list of completed map and unmap operations and the details of objects that participated in those operations.
- Search. Allows you to search the Synchronization Service synchronization history for completed creation, deprovision, update, and sync passwords operations. You can search by a number of criteria, such as the target connected data system and object type on which the operation was performed and the time period during which the operation completed.
- Usage Statistics. Allows you to view usage statistics for each connector i.e. a number of processed objects, sync runs, etc.
Connections tab
Allows you to manage connections between the Synchronization Service and the external data systems you want to use for data synchronization operations.
For instructions on creating connections to external data systems supported out of the box, see External data systems supported out of the box.
On the Connections tab, you can use the following elements (some of these elements become available only after you create at least one connection):
- Add connection. Allows you to create a new connection to an external data system.
- Filter by. Allows you to filter existing connections by the letters or text you type in the text box. The filter applies to the connection names.
- Sort by. Allows you to sort existing connections by connection name, name of the connector used, or the frequency of usage in sync workflow steps.
- <Connection Name>. Represents a connection to external data system. You can click a connection name to view or modify the corresponding connection settings.
- Connection settings. Allows you to view or modify settings for the connection.
- Synchronization scope. Allows you to view or modify synchronization scope for the connection.
- Delete connection. Deletes the connection.
Mapping tab
Allows you to manage mapping pairs and mapping rules for existing connections. To view or modify mapping pairs or rules for a connection, click the name of that connection on the Mapping tab. For more information on mapping pairs and rules, see Mapping objects.
On the Mapping tab, you can use the following elements (some of these elements become available only after you create at least one connection to an external data system):
- Filter by. Allows you to filter existing connections by the letters or text you type in the text box. The filter only applies to the connection names.
- Sort by. Allows you to sort existing connections by connection name, name of the connector used, or the frequency of usage in the sync workflow steps.
- <Connection Name>. Displays the name of a connection. You can click a connection name to view or modify the mapping settings for the corresponding connection.
When you click a connection name on this tab, you can manage mapping pairs for the connection by using the following elements (some of these elements become available after you create at least one mapping pair for the connection):
- Add mapping pair. Allows you to specify the types of objects in two connected systems for which you want to create a mapping pair.
- <ObjectType1> - <ObjectType2>. Represents a mapping pair and displays the object types that belong to the same mapping pair. You can click a mapping pair to view and change the scope of conditions where the object types belonging to that mapping pair will be mapped. To define these conditions, you can create mapping rules.
- Schedule. Allows you to schedule a recurring map operation for the current pair of objects.
- Map now. Allows you to manually run the map operation on the current pair of objects.
- Delete. Deletes the mapping pair on which you click this link.
When you click a mapping pair, you can manage mapping rules for the mapping pair by using the following elements (some of these elements become available only after you create at least one mapping rule for the mapping pair):
- Map now. Allows you to manually run the map operation on the mapping pair by using the conditions specified in the existing mapping rules.
- Unmap. Allows you to unmap the objects that were earlier mapped according to the settings specified for the mapping pair.
- Schedule mapping. Allows you to schedule a recurring map operation for the mapping pair.
- Add mapping rule. Allows you to create a rule that will define a condition for mapping objects that belong to the mapping pair.
- Delete rule. Deletes the mapping rule on which you click this link.
- Move up. Moves the current mapping rule one position up in the list.
- Move down. Moves the current mapping rule one position down in the list.
Mapping rules are applied in the order they are listed.
