Creating a synchronization project

A synchronization project Closed collects all the information required for synchronizing the One Identity Manager database with a target system. Connection data for target systems, schema types and properties, mapping, and synchronization workflows Closed all belong to this.

Prerequisites

A synchronization server is set up and declared in the One Identity Manager database.

There is a wizard to assist you with setting up a synchronization project. This wizard takes you through all the steps you need to set up initial synchronization with a target system. The project wizard takes over the following tasks:

Connecting to the Target System
Connecting to the One Identity Manager database
Defining synchronization behavior
The synchronization behavior can be configured based on target system-specific project templates. For certain target systems, One Identity Manager supplies a default project template. The project wizard copies the project template data. This can be modified with the project wizard to suit the new synchronization project. Just one synchronization project can be created per target system and default project template used.

After saving the synchronization project, you can alter the synchronization configuration.

To complete synchronization configuration

Check the mappings, workflows, start up configuration, and system connection that the wizard has added.
Assign a schedule to the start up configuration.
If you want to use the synchronization project to synchronize different target systems, specify variables, and variable sets.
Activate the synchronization project. The synchronization cannot be started until these are resolved.

NOTE: The current synchronization project is closed when you open another synchronization project.

How to create a synchronization project

NOTE: The current synchronization project Closed is closed when you open another synchronization project.

To create a new synchronization project

Select the synchronization project view on the home page.
Click Start a new synchronization project.

This starts the project wizard.
Follow the project wizard instructions.
Click Commit to database to save the new project.

How to edit a synchronization project

NOTE: The current synchronization project Closed is closed when you open another synchronization project.

To open a synchronization project

Select the synchronization project view on the start page.
Select the synchronization project you want to load by double-clicking on it.
TIP: To limit the list of synchronization projects displayed, select the target system connection you want on the left-hand side of the project selection view.
If the connection data is encrypted, enter the values required to establish the system connection and click OK.
Edit the mappings, workflows, and other components of the synchronization configuration.

To edit synchronization project properties

Select the synchronization project view on the start page.
Select the synchronization project you want to load by double-clicking on it.
If the connection data is encrypted, enter the values required to establish the system connection and click OK.
Click Edit....
Edit the display name and the synchronization project description.
Click OK.
