Job server for Exchange Online-specific process handling

Servers must be informed of your server functionality in order to handle Exchange Online-specific processes in One Identity Manager. For example, the synchronization server.

You have several options for defining a server's functionality:

  • In the Designer, create an entry for the Job server in the Base Data > Installation > Job server category. For more information about this, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

  • In the Manager, select an entry for the Job server in the Azure Active Directory > Basic configuration data > Server category and edit the Job server main data.

    Use this task if the Job server has already been declared in One Identity Manager and you want to configure special functions for the Job server.

NOTE: One Identity Manager must be installed, configured, and started in order for a server to perform its function in the One Identity Manager Service network. Proceed as described in the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

To edit a Job server and its functions

  1. In the Manager, select the Azure Active Directory > Basic configuration data > Server category.

  2. Select the Job server entry in the result list.

  3. Select the Change main data task.

  4. Edit the Job server's main data.

  5. Select the Assign server functions task and specify server functionality.

  6. Save the changes.

General main data for Job servers

NOTE: All editing options are also available in the Designer under Base Data > Installation > Job server.

NOTE: More properties may be available depending on which modules are installed.

Table 10: Job server properties

Property

Meaning

Server

Job server name.

Full server name

Full server name in accordance with DNS syntax.

Syntax:

<Name of servers>.<Fully qualified domain name>

Target system

Computer account target system.

Language

Language of the server.

Server is cluster

Specifies whether the server maps a cluster.

Server belongs to cluster

Cluster to which the server belongs.

NOTE: The Server is cluster and Server belongs to cluster properties are mutually exclusive.

IP address (IPv6)

Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) server address.

IP address (IPv4)

Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) server address.

Copy process (source server)

Permitted copying methods that can be used when this server is the source of a copy action. At present, only copy methods that support the Robocopy and rsync programs are supported.

If no method is given, the One Identity Manager Service determines the operating system of the server during runtime. Replication is then performed with the Robocopy program between servers with a Windows operating system or with the rsync program between servers with a Linux operating system. If the operating systems of the source and destination servers differ, it is important that the right copy method is applied for successful replication. A copy method is chosen that supports both servers.

Coding

Character set coding that is used to write files to the server.

Parent Job server

Name of the parent Job server.

Executing server

Name of the executing server. The name of the server that exists physically and where the processes are handled.

This input is evaluated when the One Identity Manager Service is automatically updated. If the server is handling several queues, the process steps are not supplied until all the queues that are being processed on the same server have completed their automatic update.

Queue

Name of the queue to handle the process steps. The process steps are requested by the Job queue using this queue identifier. The queue identifier is entered in the One Identity Manager Service configuration file.

Server operating system

Operating system of the server. This input is required to resolve the path name for replicating software profiles. The values Win32, Windows, Linux, and Unix are permitted. If no value is specified, Win32 is used.

Service account data

One Identity Manager Service user account information. In order to replicate between non-trusted systems (non-trusted domains, Linux server), the One Identity Manager Service user information has to be declared for the servers in the database. This means that the service account, the service account domain, and the service account password have to be entered for the server.

One Identity Manager Service installed

Specifies whether a One Identity Manager Service is installed on this server. This option is enabled by the QBM_PJobQueueLoad procedure the moment the queue is called for the first time.

The option is not automatically removed. If necessary, you can reset this option manually for servers whose queue is no longer enabled.

Stop One Identity Manager Service

Specifies whether the One Identity Manager Service has stopped. If this option is set for the Job server, the One Identity Manager Service does not process any more tasks.

You can make the service start and stop with the appropriate administrative permissions in the Job Queue Info program. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Process Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide.

Paused due to unavailability of a target system

Specifies whether task processing for this queue has been stopped because the target system that uses this Job server as a synchronization server is temporarily unavailable. As soon as the target system is available again, processing starts and all outstanding tasks are performed.

For more information about offline mode, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

No automatic software update

Specifies whether to exclude the server from automatic software updating.

NOTE: Servers must be manually updated if this option is set.

Software update running

Specifies whether a software update is currently running.

Server function

Server functionality in One Identity Manager. One Identity Manager processes are handled with respect to the server function.

Specifying server functions

NOTE: All editing options are also available in the Designer under Base Data > Installation > Job server.

The server function defines the functionality of a server in One Identity Manager. One Identity Manager processes are handled with respect to the server function.

NOTE: More server functions may be available depending on which modules are installed.

Update server

This server automatically updates the software on all the other servers. The server requires a direct connection to the database server that One Identity Manager database is installed on. It can run SQL tasks.

The server with the One Identity Manager database installed on it is labeled with this functionality during initial installation of the schema.

SQL processing server

It can run SQL tasks. The server requires a direct connection to the database server that One Identity Manager database is installed on.

Several SQL processing servers can be set up to spread the load of SQL processes. The system distributes the generated SQL processes throughout all the Job servers with this server function.

CSV script server

This server can process CSV files using the ScriptComponent process component.
