Configuring the synchronization log
All the information, tips, warnings, and errors that occur during synchronization are recorded in the synchronization log. You can configure the type of information to record separately for each system connection.
To configure the content of the synchronization log
-
To configure the synchronization log for target system connection, select the Configuration > Target system category in the Synchronization Editor.
- OR -
To configure the synchronization log for the database connection, select the Configuration > One Identity Manager connection category in the Synchronization Editor.
-
Select the General view and click Configure.
-
Select the Synchronization log view and set Create synchronization log.
-
Enable the data to be logged.
NOTE: Some content generates a particularly large volume of log data. The synchronization log should only contain data required for error analysis and other analyzes.
- Click OK.
Synchronization logs are stored for a fixed length of time.

Customizing the synchronization configuration
Having used the Synchronization Editor to set up a synchronization project for initial synchronization of a cloud application, You can use this synchronization project to load cloud application objects into the One Identity Manager cloud database. If you manage user accounts and their authorizations with One Identity Manager, changes are provisioned in the cloud application.
You must customize the synchronization configuration in order to compare the database with the cloud application regularly and to synchronize changes.
- To use One Identity Manager as the primary system during synchronization, create a workflow with synchronization in the direction of the Target system.
- To specify which cloud objects and database objects are included in synchronization, edit the scope of the target system connection and the One Identity Manager database connection. To prevent data inconsistencies, define the same scope in both systems. If no scope is defined, all objects will be synchronized.
- You can use variables to create generally applicable synchronization configurations that contain the necessary information about the synchronization objects when synchronization starts. Variables can be implemented in base objects, schema classes, or processing methods, for example.
- Update the schema in the synchronization project if the One Identity Manager schema or target system schema has changed. Then you can add the changes to the mapping.
-
To synchronize additional schema properties, update the schema in the synchronization project. Include the schema extensions in the mapping.
-
Add your own schema types if you want to synchronize data that does not have schema types in the connector schema. Include the schema extensions in the mapping.
-
If the SCIM connector cannot find the schema, pass it the schema data using overlay files.
-
If the cloud application schema cannot be adequately represented by any default project template, customize the synchronization configuration. At the same time, define how the system entitlements are mapped in the One Identity Manager schema. When you are setting up synchronization, ensure that the base object for the cloud application(CSMRoot) is created in the database and the System entitlements types used (GroupUsageMask) and User account contains memberships (UserContainsGroupList) properties are set correctly.
For more detailed information about configuring synchronization, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

Configuring cloud application synchronization
The synchronization project for initial synchronization provides a workflow for initial loading of target system objects (initial synchronization) and one for provisioning object modifications from the One Identity Manager database to the target system (provisioning). The synchronization project for initial synchronization provides a workflow for initial loading of Cloud objects (initial synchronization) and one for provisioning object modifications from the One Identity Manager database to the target system (provisioning). To use One Identity Manager as the primary system during synchronization, you also require a workflow with synchronization in the direction of the Target system.
To create a synchronization configuration for synchronizing a cloud application
-
In the Synchronization Editor, open the synchronization project.
-
Check whether the existing mappings can be used to synchronize into the cloud application. Create new maps if required.
-
Create a new workflow with the workflow wizard.
This creates a workflow with Target system as its direction of synchronization.
-
Create a new start up configuration. Use the new workflow to do this.
- Save the changes.
-
Run a consistency check.
Changing system connection settings of cloud applications
When you set up synchronization for the first time, the system connection properties are set to default values that you can modify. There are two ways to do this:
-
Specify a specialized variable set and change the values of the affected variables.
The default values remain untouched in the default variable set. The variables can be reset to the default values at any time. (Recommended action).
-
Edit the target system connection with the system connection wizard and change the effected values.
The system connection wizard supplies additional explanations of the settings. The default values can only be restored under particular conditions.
