Quick Connect for Base Systems 2.4 - Administration Guide

Advanced

Allows you to configure the execution timeout for all SQL queries you specified in the connection settings (for example, those specified in the Specify How to Select and Modify Data option). Use the SQL query execution timeout box to type the timeout value you want to use.

Specify attributes to identify objects

This expandable item provides the following options that allow you to specify the attributes with which you want to uniquely identify each object in the connected data system:

• Available attributes. Lists the attributes that are available in the external data system. Use this list to select the attributes whose values you want to use to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system. You can filter attributes by typing in the text box at the top of this list. To select multiple attributes, hold down CTRL and click to select attributes in the list.
• UniqueID attributes. Lists the attributes whose values are currently used to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.
• Add->. Moves the selected attributes from the Available attributes list to the UniqueID attributes list.
• <-Remove. Moves the selected attributes from the UniqueID attributes list to the Available attributes list.
• Constructed UniqueID. Displays a combination of the attributes whose values will make up a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

Working with Oracle Database

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to Oracle Database so that One Identity Quick Connect for Base Systems could work with data in that data system.

To create a connection to Oracle Database, you need to use One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine in conjunction with a special connector called Oracle Connector. This connector is included in the One Identity Quick Connect for Base Systems package.

The Oracle Connector supports the following features:

This section covers:

• Creating an Oracle Database connection
• Modifying an existing Oracle Database connection
• Sample SQL queries

For instructions on how to rename a connection, delete a connection, modify synchronization scope for a connection, or specify password synchronization settings for a connection, see the One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine Administrator Guide.

Creating an Oracle Database connection

To create a new connection

1. Make sure that the One Identity Quick Connect Sync Engine computer has the following software installed:
   • Oracle Client. Ensure Oracle Client is configured to connect to the Oracle service that can be used to access Oracle Database that hosts the data you want to work with.
   • Oracle Net Services
   • Oracle Data Provider for .NET

   For supported versions of this software, see the System Requirements section in the One Identity Quick Connect for Base Systems Release Notes.

2. In the Quick Connect Administration Console, open the Connections tab.
3. Click Add connection, and then use the following options:
   1. Connection name. Type a descriptive name for the connection.
   2. Use the specified connector. Select Oracle Connector.
4. Click Next.
5. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:
   • Oracle service name. Specify the name of the Oracle service you want to use to access Oracle Database. You can click Refresh to get a list of available Oracle services.
   • Access Oracle service with. Type the user name and password of the account with which you want to access the Oracle service.
   • Test Connection. Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.
6. Click Next.
7. On the Specify how to select and modify data page, use the following options:
   • Use data from this table. Allows you to select a database table that includes the data you want to participate in the synchronization operations. You can click Preview to preview the database table you have selected.
   • Use an SQL query to specify data. Allows you to compose an SQL query that provides a more flexible way for specifying the data for synchronization. For example, you can use this option to specify multiple database tables.
8. Click Next.
9. On the Specify attributes to identify objects page, use the following options:
   • Available attributes. Lists the attributes that are available in the external data system. Use this list to select the attributes whose values you want to use to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system. You can filter attributes by typing in the text box at the top of this list. To select multiple attributes, hold down CTRL and click to select attributes in the list.
   • UniqueID attributes. Lists the attributes whose values are currently used to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.
   • Add->. Moves the selected attributes from the Available attributes list to the UniqueID attributes list.
   • <-Remove. Moves the selected attributes from the UniqueID attributes list to the Available attributes list.
   • Constructed UniqueID. Displays a combination of the attributes whose values will make up a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.
10. Click Finish to create a connection to Oracle Database.
