Synchronization results are summarized in the synchronization log. You can specify the extent of the synchronization log for each system connection individually. One Identity Manager provides several reports in which the synchronization results are organized under different criteria.
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.
To display a provisioning log
-
In the Synchronization Editor, open the synchronization project.
-
Select the Logs category.
-
Click 
in the navigation view toolbar.
Logs for all completed provisioning processes are displayed in the navigation view.
-
Select a log by double-clicking it.
An analysis of the provisioning is shown as a report. You can save the report.
The log is marked in color in the navigation view. This mark shows you the status of the synchronization/provisioning.
TIP: The logs are also displayed in the Manager under the <target system> > synchronization log category.
Synchronization logs are stored for a fixed length of time.
To modify the retention period for synchronization logs
After the synchronization of data from the target system into the One Identity Manager database, rework may be necessary. Check the following tasks:
Objects, which do not exist in the target system, can be marked as outstanding in One Identity Manager by synchronizing. This prevents objects being deleted because of an incorrect data situation or an incorrect synchronization configuration.
Outstanding objects:
-
Cannot be edited in One Identity Manager.
-
Are ignored by subsequent synchronizations.
-
Are ignored by inheritance calculations.
This means, all memberships and assignments remain intact until the outstanding objects have been processed.
Start target system synchronization to do this.
To post-process outstanding objects
-
In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Target system synchronization: Active Directory category.
The navigation view lists all the synchronization tables assigned to the Active Directory target system type.
-
On the Target system synchronization form, in the Table / object column, open the node of the table for which you want to post-process outstanding objects.
All objects that are marked as outstanding are shown. The Last log entry and Last method run columns display the time at which the last entry was made in the synchronization log and which processing method was run. The No log available entry can mean the following:
-
The synchronization log has already been deleted.
- OR -
-
An assignment from a member list has been deleted from the target system.
The base object of the assignment was updated during the synchronization. A corresponding entry appears in the synchronization log. The entry in the assignment table is marked as outstanding, but there is no entry in the synchronization log.
-
An object that contains a member list has been deleted from the target system.
During synchronization, the object and all corresponding entries in the assignment tables are marked as outstanding. However, an entry in the synchronization log appears only for the deleted object.
TIP:
To display object properties of an outstanding object
-
Select the object on the target system synchronization form.
-
Open the context menu and click Show object.
-
Select the objects you want to rework. Multi-select is possible.
-
Click on one of the following icons in the form toolbar to run the respective method.
Table 4: Methods for handling outstanding objects
|
|
Delete |
The object is immediately deleted from the One Identity Manager database. Deferred deletion is not taken into account.
Indirect memberships cannot be deleted. |
|
|
Publish |
The object is added to the target system. The Outstanding label is removed from the object.
This runs a target system specific process that triggers the provisioning process for the object.
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
Reset |
The Outstanding label is removed for the object. |
TIP: If a method cannot be run due to certain restrictions, the respective icon is disabled.
- Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
NOTE: By default, the selected objects are processed in parallel, which speeds up the selected method. If an error occurs during processing, the action is stopped and all changes are discarded.
Bulk processing of objects must be disabled if errors are to be localized, which means the objects are processed sequentially. Failed objects are named in the error message. All changes that were made up until the error occurred are saved.
To disable bulk processing
NOTE: The target system connector must have write access to the target system in order to publish outstanding objects that are being post-processed. That means, the Connection is read-only option must not be set for the target system connection.
You must customize your target system synchronization to synchronize custom tables.
To add custom tables to target system synchronization
-
In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Basic configuration data > Target system types category.
-
In the result list, select the Active Directory target system type.
-
Select the Assign synchronization tables task.
-
In the Add assignments pane, assign custom tables to the outstanding objects you want to handle.
- Save the changes.
-
Select the Configure tables for publishing task.
-
Select the custom tables that contain the outstanding objects that can be published in the target system and set the Publishable option.
- Save the changes.
