Start up sequence properties

Enter the following properties for a start up sequenceClosed.

Table 68: General start up sequence properties

Property

Description

Name

Name of the start up sequence.

Schedule

Schedule for starting synchronizationClosed.

Ensure that start up configurations that are used in start up sequences are not started individually at the same time. Assign the start up sequence to a schedule that is not used in any of the start up configurations.

Allow multiple starts

Specifies whether this start up sequence can be started more than once. Ensure that no other synchronization is started for the same target system as long as synchronization is running.

Example: A start up sequence is triggered daily. Even if the start up sequence has not ended after 24 hours, it should be started again. If each start up configuration synchronizes another target system, you can set the Allow multiple starts option. If the option is not set, the start up sequence is not restarted until the current instance is finished.

Description

Text field for additional explanation.

You can set the properties of each the selected start up configurations.

Table 69: Start up configuration properties in a start up sequence

Property

Description

Runs simultaneously

Specifies whether this start up configuration can be started at the same time as the previous start up configuration. Use this option to synchronize projectsClosed in parallel that are started from different synchronization servers.

Do not set this option if the start up configurations handle the same target system objects.

Sequence quits on error

Specifies whether the start up sequence is canceled if an error occurs running this start up configuration.

If the option is set, instances of the start up sequence are still displayed in the Synchronization EditorClosed after synchronization has quit.

Example

Shortly after synchronizing personnel planning data from an SAP HCM system, always synchronize the SAP R/3, Active Directory, Privileged Account Management, and Google Workspace systems. Personnel planning data should be synchronized daily.

Even if the start up sequence has not ended after 24 hours, it should be started again.

The target systems SAP R/3, Active Directory, Privileged Account Management, and Google Workspace can be synchronized in parallel. They cannot, however, be started before SAP HCM has finished synchronizing.

The start up sequence contains the following configuration:

  • Schedule: daily
  • Allow multiple starts: set
  • Order of start up configurations:

    1. SAP HCM System

      Runs simultaneously: not set

    2. SAP R/3 client

      Runs simultaneously: not set

    3. Active Directory domain

      Runs simultaneously: set

    4. One Identity Safeguard Appliance

      Runs simultaneously: set

    5. Google Workspace Domain

      Runs simultaneously: set
