Starting system synchronization
Three schedules are generated for starting system synchronization. By default, synchronization is started once a day. If you want synchronization to start more frequently for certain tables, adjust the synchronization mode for these tables.
To change how frequently a table is synchronized
-
In Designer, edit the table properties of the table you want to synchronize.
-
On the System synchronization tab, select the Synchronization mode menu.
-
Select the synchronization frequency.
-
If you want to start synchronization several times a day, activate Start synchronization frequently.
-
If you want to start synchronization several times per hour, activate Start synchronization very frequently.
If none of these options is enabled, this table will synchronized once a day.
- Save the changes.
NOTE: Synchronization can only be started if the synchronization project is activated.

Displaying the synchronization log
Synchronization results are summarized in the synchronization log.
To display a synchronization log
-
In the Synchronization Editor, open the synchronization project.
-
Select the Logs category.
-
Click 
in the navigation view toolbar.
Logs for all completed synchronization runs are displayed in the navigation view.
-
Select a log by double-clicking it.
An analysis of the synchronization is shown as a report. You can save the report.
Synchronization logs are stored for a fixed length of time.
To modify the retention period for synchronization logs
Modifying the synchronization configuration
A generated synchronization project can only be edited to a limited extend. The following changes are possible:
-
Connection credentials for the central database
-
Connection credentials for the work database
-
Selection of the tables to be synchronized and the mapped columns
If the selection of the tables to be synchronized or the mapped columns is changed, the synchronization project will be updated automatically after a short delay.
Other manual changes to the synchronization configuration will be overwritten when the synchronization project is updated.

Transferring synchronization configuration into another database
If you want to transfer the system synchronization configuration to another database, it is not enough to simply transport the synchronization project. Instead, you need to transport the selected tables and mapped columns that are going to synchronized and regenerate the synchronization configuration in the target database with this data.
To transfer a system synchronization configuration to another database
-
Use the Database Transporter to create a transport package for your changes to DialogTable and DialogColumn.
-
Import the transport package into the target database with the Database Transporter.
-
Set up the system synchronization in the target database.
For more information about creating and importing transport packages, see the One Identity Manager Operational Guide.
