Post-processing outstanding objects

Objects that are not in the target system are marked as outstanding. This prevents objects being deleted because of an incorrect data situation or an incorrect synchronization configuration.

Outstanding objects

  • Cannot be edited

  • Are ignored by subsequent synchronizations.

  • Are ignored by inheritance calculations

This means, all memberships and assignments remain intact until the outstanding objects have been processed.

On the Outstanding Objects page, you can get an overview of outstanding objects, delete these objects in the database or add them back to the target system. Additionally, you can reset the status of these objects so that they are no longer marked as outstanding.

You can view the following information on the Outstanding Objects page.

Table 11: Outstanding objects

Column

Description

NOTE: By default, the selected objects are processed in parallel, which speeds up the action. If an error occurs during processing, the action is stopped and all changes are discarded.

To locate the error, disable bulk processing of the objects, which means the objects are processed sequentially. Failed objects are named in the error message. All changes that were made up until the error occurred are saved.
