Properties of a Workflow

Properties of a Workflow

Enter the following properties for a workflow.

Table 48: General Workflow Properties

Properties	Meaning
WorkflowCollection of all the synchronization steps to be executed.	Workflow display name.
Direction of synchronizationDirection in which synchronization is run. The master system is defined by the direction of synchronization.	Select the direction in which synchronization should take place. Specify on execution The direction of synchronization is specified in the start up configuration. For more information, see Start Up Configuration Properties. Target system One Identity Manager is the master system for synchronization. One Identity Manager The target system is the master system for synchronization.
RevisionHighest value for change data for all system objects to be synchronized when synchronization is run. This value is saved in the table "DPRRevisionStore", column "value". filtering	The revision filtering can be used to limit synchronization to just the objects that have been modified since the last synchronization. For more information, see How does Revision Filtering Work. Specify on execution The desired behavior is specified in the start up configuration. Use revision filter Only modified object are synchronized. Do not use revision filter All objects are synchronized.
Error Handling	Specify whether synchronization should be continued if an error occurs during processing of synchronization objects (adding, deleting, updating and reloading objects). Object processing is continued using the next object; the error is logged. To optimize error localization, you can abort synchronization if an error occurs during the processing of synchronization objects. In this case, no further synchronization objects are processed. NOTE: This property does not affect configuration, network or general synchronization errors (for example, if it is not possible to resolve a reference). The effectiveness of this property depends on the actual error, error position, the target system and the implementation of the target system connectors. Continue on error Processing is continued with the next object. Errors are logged. This option should be used for productive systems. Break on error SynchronizationThe process of comparing data between One Identity Manager and a target system. Objects and their properties are compared by fixed rules. Synchronization results in the identical data situation in the target system and One Identity Manager database. is aborted. This option should only be used to find errors, for example in going live processes.
Dependency resolution	Specify how dependencies between synchronization step are resolved. For more information, see How does Dependency Resolution Work. Automatic Dependencies are resolved automatically. One Identity Manager finds the order of the synchronization steps automatically. It takes into account dependencies between schema classes to synchronize and schema properties. Manual Dependencies are not resolved. The synchronization steps are processed sequentially in the order listed in the workflow view. Dependencies between schema classes and schema properties must be taken into account when you put together the synchronization steps.
Description	Spare text box for additional explanation.

Editing Synchronization Steps

The synchronization steps in a workflow specify which mappings are processed in which order during synchronization. There may be dependencies between synchronization steps. These must be resolved automatically or manually.

SynchronizationThe process of comparing data between One Identity Manager and a target system. Objects and their properties are compared by fixed rules. Synchronization results in the identical data situation in the target system and One Identity Manager database. steps are displayed in the workflow view. Here, you can edit synchronization step properties and their order.

Defining synchronization steps:

• Mappings to be processed
• Property mapping rules to apply
• Processing methods
• Number of objects to compare
• Objects to compare (revision filter)
• Direction of synchronizationDirection in which synchronization is run. The master system is defined by the direction of synchronization.
