Creating a deprovisioning step

You can create a deprovisioning step between two object types of two connected data systems in a sync workflow with the Add synchronization step < Deprovision setting. Creating a deprovisioning step instead of a deletion step is typically recommended to allow you reprovisioning the affected data objects later.

To create a deprovisioning step

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Sync Workflows tab.
  2. Click the name of the sync workflow in which you want to create a deprovisioning step.

    If necessary, create a new sync workflow. For more information, see Creating a sync workflow.

  3. Click Add synchronization step.

  4. Select Deprovision, then click Next.

  5. Specify a deprovisioning source and criteria by using the following options:

    • Source connected system: Allows you to choose a source data system for the deprovision operation. To select a data system connected earlier or add and select a new data system, click Specify.

    • Source object type: Allows you to specify the data system object type you want to use as a source for the deprovision operation. To specify an object type, click Select.

    • Deprovision target objects if: Allows you to specify criteria for deprovisioning objects in the target data system.

  6. Click Next.

  7. Specify a deprovisioning target by using the following options:

    • Target connected system: Allows you to choose a target data system for the deprovision operation. To select a data system connected earlier or add and select a new data system, click Specify.

    • Target object type: Allows you to specify what type of objects you want to deprovision in the target data system. To specify an object type, click Select.

  8. Click Next.

  9. Select a method to deprovision objects in the target data system. You can select Delete target objects to delete target objects or Modify target objects to modify target objects using the rules configured in the following options:

    • Rules to Modify Object Attributes: Allows you to set up a list of rules to modify object attributes in the target data system. For more information, see Modifying attribute values by using rules.

    • Rules to Move Objects: Expand this option to specify the location to which you want to move objects. Click the down arrow on the button, and then select one of the following:

      • Browse: Click to locate and select a single target container.

      • PowerShell Script: Click to compose a PowerShell script that calculates the target container name.

      • Rule: Click to configure a set of rules for selecting target containers.

      • Use Mapping: Click to define a target container based on the mapping of the source object.

      • Clear: Click to use an empty value.

    • Rules to Rename Objects: Allows you to view or change the list of rules used to rename target objects. For more information, see Generating object names by using rules.

  10. Click Finish to create the deprovisioning step.

You can modify the settings of an existing synchronization step. For more information, see Modifying an existing sync workflow step.

Modifying an existing sync workflow step

You can modify the existing steps of sync workflows in the Synchronization Service Console, including their general options, source and target data system settings, or synchronization rules.

To modify an existing step

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Sync Workflows tab.
  2. Click the name of the sync workflow in which you want to modify a step.

  3. Click the name of the step you want to modify.

  4. Use the following tabs to modify the step as necessary:

    For more information on these tabs, see the next subsections.

  5. When you are finished, click Save to apply your changes.

General Options

The general options allow you to rename the step, specify a method for processing data in the source and target connected systems, and specify conditions to stop data processing.

This tab has the following elements:

  • Step name: Allows you to rename the step.

  • Specify how to process data in connected systems: Allows you to select how to process data during synchronization. The available methods are the following:

    • Process all data: Each run of the step will process all data in the configured synchronization scope.

    • Process delta from last run: Each run of the step will process only the data that has changed in the configured synchronization scope since the last run.

  • Stop data processing if: Allows you to specify conditions that will stop data processing in the source and target data systems when met.

Source

The Source setting allows you to view information about the source connected system and source object type specified for the synchronization step. You can also view or modify the criteria used to perform the creation, deprovision, or update operation in the step.

For all types of synchronization steps (creating, deprovisioning, and updating), this tab provides the following options:

  • Source connected system: Displays the name of the source data system.

  • Source object type: Displays the object type that is used as a source for the synchronization step.

The Source tab also provides the following options depending on the type of step you select:

  • For deprovisioning steps, the Deprovision target objects if option. This option allows you to modify the criteria used for triggering the deprovision operation in the target data system.

  • For creation steps,the Creation Criteria option. This option allows you to modify the scope of source data system objects that participate in the creation step. To modify the list of containers that hold the source objects you want to participate in the step, expand Creation Criteria. Also, you can specify additional criteria for selecting source objects.

  • For update steps, the Updating Criteria option. This option allows you to modify the scope of the source data system objects that participate in the updating step. To specify the containers that hold the source objects you want to participate in the step, expand Updating Criteria. You can also specify additional criteria for selecting source objects.
