IMPORTANT: The process and process steps are not created until the entire process is saved in the One Identity Manager database. After this, other users can use the Process Editor to make changes to the process.However, it cannot be generated yet. The process has to be compiled before it can be generated. |
To create a custom process
- OR -
To create a new process
This makes a new element for the process and opens it in the Process Editor.
To edit an existing process
The process is opened in the Process Editor.
To copy a process
Starts a copy wizard for a process. The wizard start up screen displays the name of the process to be copied.
Option | Meaning |
---|---|
Rename process steps | If you set this option you have the option to rename each of the process steps individually in the next step of the wizard. |
Copy events | Set this option if you want the events that are assigned to this process to be copied as well. |
Disable source process | This option specifies whether the source process should be disabled after copying. If you set this option the source process is set to "do not generate". |
Disable copied process | Use this option to specify whether the process should be disabled after copying. If you enable this option the process is set to "do not generate". |
You can change these by clicking on the new process step name.
|
NOTE: This step is only available if you have set the copy option Rename process steps. |
During the process the action that is currently being executed is displayed in a status bar. The process is opened in the Process Editor and you can continue editing.
Property | Meaning | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Name | Name of the process. The name of the process must be unique. Label custom processes with the prefix "CCC_". | ||||||||
Table | The process is generated on the event from this base object (table). | ||||||||
Description | Additional description of the process. | ||||||||
Remarks | Additional remarks about the process. | ||||||||
Process | Process UID. These cannot be edited. | ||||||||
Process information |
Specifies whether this step is logged. Logging depends on the setting of the configuration parameter "Common\ProcessState\ProgressView".
| ||||||||
Process information term | VB.Net expression for displaying the display name in the process view. | ||||||||
Pre-script for generating |
The pre-script is executed before other scripts are run. You can find global variables with a pre-script or define process specific variables that can then be used within the process and process steps, for example, in generating conditions, sever selection scripts or parameters.
| ||||||||
Generating condition | Define a condition in VB.Net syntax for the process step, which is used to decide whether the process is generated. If a generating condition is given, the process is only generated if the condition is fulfilled. You can find an example scripts on the installation medium in directory QBM\dvd\AddOn\SDK\ScriptSamples. | ||||||||
Do not generate |
Use this option to decide whether a process will be generated. If the option is set, the process will not be generated and cannot be compiled.
| ||||||||
Preprocessor condition |
You can specify a preprocessor condition for a process for conditional compiling. A process is only available, therefore, if the preprocessor condition is fulfilled. | ||||||||
Disabled by preprocessor |
If a process step is disabled by a preprocessor condition, the option is set by the Database Compiler. | ||||||||
Threshold (warning) | Maximum number of processes for a queue that can be present at the same time. A warning is sent if the number is exceeded. The One Identity Manager Service continues handling processes all the same. | ||||||||
Threshold (disable) | Maximum number of processes for a queue that can be present at the same time. If this number is exceeded, other processes are set to OverLimit and not handled by the One Identity Manager Service. |
Process specific variables are local data spaces when a process is generated. This enables variables to be defined that can be made further use of within processes and process steps, for example, generating conditions, server selection scripts or in parameters.
|
NOTE: It is recommended only to set process specific variables in the pre-script and to have read access to them during further usage. |
Pre-script syntax:
values("Name") = "value"
Usage in the following process and process step code sections:
Value = values("Name")
Additional global variables can be used to control process generation, which are made available over the session object. These variables are valid as long as the session is active. All custom variables defined for the session object can be used in addition to predefined variables. Custom global variables can be defined through scripts, methods or customizers, for example, and used in the processes.
|
NOTE: Global variables should only be use with read access in processes. |
|
NOTE: When a process is being handled, the generating pre-script is executed first and then the generating condition is evaluated. It is recommended to evaluate global variables that are used in the generating condition in the pre-script as well. This can prevent unnecessary data access. |
|
NOTE: If a custom session variable is defined, it must be removed again afterward. Otherwise it remains for the rest of the session and, in certain circumstances, the wrong processes can be generated. |
The process should only be generated for a full synchronization. The session variable "FullSync" is used for this. This variable can take the value "true" or "false". The variable is available to all processes that are generated within full synchronization.
The variable is queried in the pre-script for generating and the generating condition. This way, loading of unnecessary objects is already prevented by executing the pre-script.
Generating pre-script:
If CBool(Session.Variables("FULLSYNC")) Then
values("Name1") = "value1"
values("Name2") = "value2"
...
End If
Generating condition:
Value = CBool(Session.Variables("FULLSYNC"))
Configuration parameter | Meaning |
---|---|
Common\MailNotification\NotifyAboutWaitingJobs | Specifies whether a message should be sent if the process steps have a particular execution state in the job queue. |
In order to prevent bulk modifications, you can specify how long each process can remain in the Job queue. Use the values Threshold (warning) and Threshold (disable) to do this. You can use the database script SDK_SetLimitationCount_in_Jobchain to initially fill the process data. You can find an example of a configuration file on the installation medium in directory QBM\dvd\AddOn\SDK\SQLSample.
If the warning threshold is exceeded, a message is sent by email to a specified recipient. Prerequisites for using the notification system is an SMTP host set up for sending mail and activation of the configuration parameter for mail notification.
If the disable threshold is exceeded, the affected processes are given the status "Overlimit" in the Job queue. These processes are no longer collected by One Identity Manager Service for processing and remain in the Job queue. You can re-enable the process steps in the program, "Job Queue Info".
If the configuration parameter "Common\MailNotification\NotifyAboutWaitingJobs" is set, an additional email is sent when processes are labeled with the status "Overlimit2 and a corresponding entry is made in the update server's event log.
