Target

The Target setting allows you to view information about the target connected system and target object type specified for the synchronization step. For creating steps, you can use this tab to view and modify the target container to which objects are created and rules to generate unique names for created objects.

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

  • Target connected system: Displays the name of the data system that is currently used as a target for the synchronization step.

  • Target object type: Displays the object type that is currently used as a target for the synchronization step.

For creating steps related to certain types of target data systems, this tab may also provide any of the following additional elements:

  • Target container: Allows you to specify the target data system container in which you want to create objects from the source data system. For more information, see Generating object names by using rules.

  • Rules to generate unique object name: Allows you to set up a list of rules to generate a unique name for each object being created. For more information, see Generating object names by using rules.

Creation Rules

Creation rules allow you to view or modify the rules used for creating objects. This tab has the following elements:

  • Initial Attribute Population Rules: Expand this element to view or modify the rules for populating the attributes of objects being created.

  • Initial Password: Expand this element to view or modify how an initial password is generated for each object being created.

  • User Account Options: Expand this element to view or modify the settings used for creating user accounts in the result of the creation operation.

You can use this tab to import or export initial attribute population rules.

To export a population rule to a file

  1. In the list of configured attribute population rules, select the rule you want to export.

  2. Click More, then click Export.

  3. In the Save As dialog, specify an XML file to store the rule.

To import a population rule from a file

  1. Expand Initial Attribute Population Rules, click More, then click Import.

  2. Use the Open dialog to open the XML file that stores the population rule to import.

Deprovisioning Rules

Deprovisioning rules allow you to select a method for deprovisioning synchronized objects. As part of deprovisioning, you can either delete the target objects if the source objects meet the synchronization criteria configured in the wizard, or just modify the target objects using the following deprovisioning rules.

  • 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.

Updating Rules

Updating rules allow you to view or modify the rules used for updating objects. This tab has the following elements:

  • 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.
