The provisioning sequence
The following visual shows how object changes are provisioned and how the pending changes associated with it are processed. The sequence does not depend on whether the Cloud System Management and the Universal Cloud Interface modules are installed in the same or in separate databases.
Figure 2: Provisioning sequence for pending changes
By default, the Cloud Systems Management module is synchronized hourly with the Universal Cloud Interface. This ensures that the processing state for pending changes is declared promptly in the Cloud Systems Management Module.

Retention time for pending changes
Pending changes are saved for a fixed period. After this period has expired, the entries are deleted by the DBQueue Processor from the QBMPendingChange and QBMPendingChangeDetail tables. The retention period depends on the status of provisioning processes and can be configured in the configuration parameter.
To configure the retention period for pending changes
-
To change the retention period for successful provisioning processes, in the Designer, edit the value of the QBM | PendingChange | LifeTimeSuccess configuration parameter. Enter a retention period in days. The default is 2 days.
-
To change the retention period for failed provisioning processes, in the Designer, edit the value of the QBM | PendingChange | LifeTimeError configuration parameter and enter the retention period in days. The default is 30 days.
-
To change the retention period for pending provisioning processes, in the Designer, edit the value of the QBM | PendingChange | LifeTimeRunning configuration parameter and enter the retention period in days. The default is 60 days.

Managing cloud user accounts and employees
The main feature of One Identity Manager is to map employees together with the main data and permissions available to them in different target systems. To achieve this, information about user accounts and permissions can be read from the target system into the One Identity Manager database and linked to employees. This provides an overview of the permissions for each employee in all of the connected target systems. One Identity Manager offers the option of managing user accounts and their permissions. You can provision modifications in the target systems. Employees are supplied with the necessary permissions in the connected target systems according to their function in the company. Regular synchronization keeps data consistent between target systems and the One Identity Manager database.
Because requirements vary between companies, One Identity Manager offers different methods for supplying user accounts to employees. One Identity Manager supports the following methods for linking employees and their user accounts:
-
Employees can automatically obtain their account definitions using user account resources.
If an employee does not yet have a user account in a target system, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an employee using the integrated inheritance mechanisms and subsequent process handling.
When you manage account definitions through user accounts, you can specify the way user accounts behave when employees are enabled or deleted.
-
When user accounts are inserted, they can be automatically assigned to an existing employee or a new employee can be created if necessary. In the process, the employee main data is created on the basis of existing user account main data. This mechanism can be implemented if a new user account is created manually or by synchronization. However, this is not the One Identity Manager default method. You must define criteria for finding employees for automatic employee assignment.
-
Employees and user accounts can be entered manually and assigned to each other.
For more information about employee handling and administration, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.
