Grouping

You can group start up configurations logically on the Grouping tab. If you have several start up configurations, you can group them together into a start up group. Specify the start up behavior for each start up group. The same start up behavior applies to all start up configurations belonging to the same start up group.

Table 60: Grouping start up configurations

Property

Description

Name

Name of the start up group.

  • To create a new start up group, enter a name.

    - OR -

  • Select an existing start up group from the menu.

Concurrence behavior

One IdentityClosed Manager behavior if multiple start up configurations are run simultaneously.

Ignore

Multiple synchronizationClosed can be run simultaneously.

NOTE: This behavior can cause synchronization errors or loss of data.

Plan your start times carefully. If possible, specify your start times so that synchronization does not overlap.

Stop on error

If synchronization is already running, each new synchronization attempt breaks off with an error. Check the One Identity Manager ServiceClosed log file for this.

Postpone and wait

If synchronization is already running, the each new synchronization is postponed until the first one has finished. You can adjust the wait time using the Common | Jobservice | RedoDelayMinutes configuration parameterClosed.

This configuration parameter specifies the wait time in minutes before the Job serverClosed attempts to start synchronization again. If the first synchronization is still running, the start of a further synchronization is delayed for the specified length of time. This configuration parameter is only effective on grouped start up configurations whose concurrence behavior is configured with the Postpone and wait option. The default value is two minutes.

Maintenance modes

You set the maintenanceClosed mode for start up configuration on the Maintenance tab. Here, you can specify how data can be maintained that could not be saved during synchronizationClosed. Object references, which have not (yet) been loaded are included in this (for example, cross-domain references). Complex hierarchies loaded through a CSV import might also have to be reworked because reference objects could not be assigned to them. Unresolvable object references are written to a data store. The synchronization buffer is cleaned up by maintenance.

Table 61: Start up configuration maintenance mode
Property Description
Mode Maintenance mode for cleaning up the synchronization buffer.
No maintenance There is no additional task of clearing up the synchronization buffer.
Always synchronize affected objects The filter is removed on objects with unresolved references.
Full maintenance after every synchronization One IdentityClosed Manager tries to resolve object references following synchronization.
Retries Number of retries resolving an object reference. It may be necessary to try several times to resolve an object if it maps a hierarchy with several levels.

Specifying a schedule

SynchronizationClosed is started using scheduledClosed process plansClosed. A scheduled process plan is added once a start up configuration is assigned to a schedule. Use schedules to define running times for synchronization.

NOTE: Synchronization can only be started if the synchronization projectClosed is enabled.

IMPORTANT: As long as synchronization is running, you must not start another synchronization for the same target system. This applies especially, if the same synchronization objects would be processed.

If another synchronization is started with another start up configuration, that addresses same target system, it may lead to synchronization error or loss of data. Plan your start times carefully. If possible, specify your start times so that synchronization does not overlap.

To assign an existing schedule to a start up configuration

  1. Select the Configuration > Start up configurations category.
  2. Select a start up configuration in the document view and click Edit.
  3. Select a schedule from the Schedule menu.

    All active schedules assigned to the table JobAutoStart are available for selection.

  4. Click OK.

One IdentityClosed Manager specifies a process plan when changes are committed to the One Identity Manager database. This process plan starts the synchronizing process.

NOTE: You can manage existing schedules with DesignerClosed. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Operational Guide.

How to set up schedules

To create a scheduleClosed

  1. Select the Configuration > Start up configurations category.

  2. Select a start up configuration in the document view and click Create schedule.

  3. Edit the schedule properties.

  4. Click OK.

One IdentityClosed Manager specifies a process planClosed when changes are committed to the One Identity Manager database. This process plan starts the synchronizingClosed process.

To edit a schedule

  1. In the Synchronization EditorClosed, open the synchronization projectClosed.

  2. Select the Configuration > Start up configurations category.

  3. Select a start up configuration in the document view and click Edit schedule.

  4. Edit the schedule properties.

  5. To enable the schedule, click Activate.

  6. Click OK.
