How to edit a synchronization project

Synchronization projects in which a system is already used as a base object can also be opened in the Manager. You can, for example, check the configuration or view the synchronization log in this mode. The Synchronization Editor is not started with its full functionality. You cannot run certain functions, such as, running synchronization or simulation, starting the target system browser and others.

NOTE: The Manager is locked for editing throughout. To edit objects in the Manager, close the Synchronization Editor.

To open an existing synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor:

  1. In the Manager, select the Oracle E-Business Suite | Systems category.

  2. Select the system in the results list.

  3. Select the Change master data task.

  4. Select the Edit synchronization project task.

E-Business Suite user accounts

You use One Identity Manager to manage Oracle E-Business Suite user accounts. A user can log on to the E-Business Suite using their Oracle E-Business Suite user account. The user retains all permissions and security groups assigned to the user account. In addition, user accounts can also be linked to employees who are managed in the Oracle E-Business Suite. Employee data from the Oracle E-Business Suite can be synchronized with the One Identity Manager database and linked to the user accounts.

A user account can be linked to an employee in One Identity Manager. You can also manage user accounts separately from employees.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up user accounts for company employees. In this case, some of the master data described in the following is mapped through templates from employee master data.

NOTE: If employees are to obtain their user accounts through account definitions, the employees must own a central E-Business Suite user account and obtain their IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, a primary location, or a primary cost center.

Table 37: General master data for a user account

Property

Description

Employee

Employee that uses this user account. An employee is already entered if the user account was generated by an account definition.

You can create a new employee for a user account with an identity of type Organizational identity, Personalized administrator identity, Sponsored identity, Shared identity, or Service identity. To do this, click next to the input field and enter the required employee master data. Which login data is required depends on the selected identity type.

Use the account definition to automatically fill user account master data and to specify a manage level for the user account. One Identity Manager finds the IT operating data of the assigned employee and enters it in the corresponding fields in the user account.
