Configuring the Synchronization Log

Configuring the Synchronization Log

Table 56: Configuration Parameters for Configuring 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. Logs

Configuration parameter	Meaning
DPR\Journal\LifeTime	This configuration parameter specifies the synchronization log's retention period (in days). Use the configuration sub parameters to specify the retention period for each warning level. Older logs are deleted from the database.

All the information, tips, warnings and errors which occur during synchronization are recorded in the synchronization log. You can configure the type of information to record separately for each system connection.

To configure the content of the synchronization log

1. Edit the system connection properties.

   For more information, see How to Edit System Connection Properties.

2. Select the Synchronization log view and set Create synchronization log.
3. Enable the data to be logged.

   NOTE: Certain content create a lot of log data. The synchronization log should only contain the data necessary for error analysis and other evaluations.

4. Click OK.

Synchronization logs are stored for a fixed length of time. The retention period is set in the configuration parameter "DPR\Journal\LifeTime" and its sub parameters.

To modify the retention period for synchronization logs

• Set the configuration parameter "Common\Journal\LifeTime" in the Designer and enter the maximum retention time for entries in the database journal. Use the configuration sub parameters to specify the retention period for each warning level.
• If there is a large amount of data, you can specify the number of objects to delete per DBQueue Processor operation and run in order to improve performance. Use the configuration parameters "Common\Journal\Delete\BulkCount" and "Common\Journal\Delete\TotalCount" to do this.
• Configure and set the schedule "Delete journal" in the Designer.

Editing the Scope

In the scope, you can specify system objects to be handled by synchronization. This allows you to limit the number of objects to synchronize. If no scope is defined, all objects in the connected system are synchronized.

If the synchronization project was creating using a default project template, a scope is defined. You may edit this scope. A scope is not define if the synchronization project was created without a project template.
