How to add schema classes

To create a schema class

  1. Edit the system connection properties.

    For more information, see How to edit system connection properties.

  2. Open the SchemaClosed classes view.
  3. Click in the schema overview menu bar.
  4. Edit the schema class properties.

    For more information, see Schema class properties.

  5. Save the changes.

To create a new mapping for a schema class

  1. Create a new mapping.

    For more information, see How to create a mapping.

  2. Select One Identity Manager schema class or Target system schemaClosed class.
  3. Click .
  4. Edit the schema class properties.

    For more information, see Schema class properties.

  5. Save the changes.

How to edit schema classes

NOTE:
  • You can only edit customizedClosed schema classes.
  • Modifications to schema classes in use can cause errors!

To edit a schema class

  1. Edit the system connection properties.

    For more information, see How to edit system connection properties.

  2. Open the SchemaClosed classes view.
  3. Double-click on a schema class in the schema overview.
  4. Edit the schema class properties.

    For more information, see Schema class properties.

  5. Save the changes.

How to delete schema classes

NOTE: CustomClosed schema classes, which are not in use, can be deleted.

To delete a schema class

  1. Remove the schema class from all mappingsClosed in which they are used.

    For more information, see How to edit a mapping.

  2. Edit the system connection properties.

    For more information, see How to edit system connection properties.

  3. Open the SchemaClosed classes view.
  4. Select the schema class in the schema overview and click in the toolbar.

    If the schema class is still in use, the location is displayed.

  5. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
TIP: Compress the schema to remove unnecessary schema classes from the target schema or the One Identity Manager schema from the synchronization projectClosed. For more information, see How to remove unnecessary project data.

Customizing the synchronization configuration

Having used the project wizard to set up a synchronization projectClosed for initial synchronization of a target system, you can use the synchronization project to load target system objects into the One Identity Manager database. These objects can be edited with One Identity Manager tools. You must customizeClosed synchronization configuration in order to compare the database with the target system regularly and to synchronize changes. You can configure a synchronization project such that the necessary information about the direction of synchronization, objects to synchronize, and the property mapping rules to be applied, is made available when synchronization starts.

Edit the target system connection scope and the One Identity Manager database connection to specify which target system and database object are handled by synchronization. To prevent data inconsistencies, define the same scope in both systems. If no scope is defined, all objects will be synchronized.

  • You can use variables to create generally applicable synchronization configurations that contain the necessary information about the synchronization objects when synchronization starts. Variables can be implemented in base objects, schema classes, or processing method, for example.

    Use variables to set up a synchronization project for synchronizing different target systems. For this, connection parameters for logging onto target systems are stored as variables.
