General properties of a synchronization project
You can edit the 's display names and description on the General tab.
Table 29: General properties of a synchronization project
Display name |
Display name for the synchronization project. |
Script language |
Language in which the scripts for this synchronization project are written. |
Enable shadow copy |
The synchronization project can be additionally saved in the database as an XML definition. Afterward, the synchronization project is only loaded from this XML definition. The project loads noticeably faster.
NOTE: The shadow copy does not contain any changes that were made directly in the database and not in the . |
Only if the synchronization project is active |
The shadow copy is only created if the synchronization project is active. |
Description |
Text field for additional explanation. |
On the Migration tab, you can see the migration versions of the One Identity Manager module required for the synchronization project. All the patches already installed are also listed. Migration data is only available for synchronization projects that were created with One Identity Manager version 7.1.
Table 30: Synchronization project migration data
Origin |
Information about the used to create the synchronization project. |
Context |
Module or connected system for which the synchronization project is valid. |
Current version |
The currently installed version of the program. |
Patches added later |
Patches that have been applied to the synchronization project since the One Identity Manager was installed or updated. |

Specifying the script language in synchronization projects
You can apply scripts at various points in the ; for example, when defining the schema properties, in the object filter, or when you define data operations for system connections through the native database connector.
When you define a synchronization project with the project wizard, you specify a script language in which to create the script. You can select either C# or Visual Basic .NET. You can only use in the synchronization wizard that support the selected script language.
NOTE: If you want to create a synchronization project using a template, check whether the project template supports the selected script language.
NOTE: You cannot change the script language once the project wizard is finished!
Create a new synchronization project to change the script language later.

Templates for creating synchronization projects
Some system connectors provide template which you can use to configure a complete with the project wizard, The add the following components to the synchronization configuration in the synchronization project, depending on the target system type.
- The scope
- A start up configuration (without schedule)
- The default variable set
- A base object
The synchronization base object, e.g. the actual Active Directory domain that you want to synchronize, is added as an object in the One Identity Manager database.
- A synchronization workflow for the initial import of the target system into the One Identity Manager database
The workflow has the following characteristics:
- is "One Identity Manager".
- Processing methods in the are only defined in synchronization direction "One Identity Manager".
- A provisioning workflow
This workflow is only created if the Read/write access to target system. available. option is selected on the Restrict target system access page of the project wizard.
The workflow has the following characteristics:
- Synchronization in the direction of the "".
- Processing methods are only defined in the synchronization steps in synchronization direction "Target system".
- Synchronization steps are only created for such schema classes whose schema types have write access.
- The schema classes required
- Mappings for all schema classes required
These include:
- Required virtual schema properties
- Property mapping rules
- Object matching rules
Also created is:
Once a synchronization project has been created from a project template, you can check the settings assign a schedule and start synchronization.
Restricting system access
When you set up a with the project wizard, you decide whether the target system is only read in or whether One Identity Manager can also make changes. If you select the has read-only access option, only modifications in the target system are transferred to the One Identity Manager database. Changes in the One Identity Manager database are not written to the target system. This means:
- is "One Identity Manager".
- The project wizard only creates one synchronization workflow. A provisioning workflow is not added.
- Processing methods in the are only defined in synchronization direction "One Identity Manager".
