Editing connection parameters in the variable set
The connection parameters were saved as variables in the default variable set when synchronization was set up. You can change the values in these variables to suit you requirements and assign the variable set to a start up configuration and a base object. This means that you always have the option to use default values from the default variable set.
NOTE: To guarantee data consistency in the connected target system, ensure that the start-up configuration for synchronization and the base object for provisioning use the same variable set. This especially applies if a synchronization project is used for synchronizing different SAP clients.
To customize connection parameters in a specialized variable set
-
In the Synchronization Editor, open the synchronization project.
-
Select the Configuration > Target system category.
-
Open the Connection parameters view.
Some connection parameters can be converted to variables here. For other parameters, variables are already created.
-
Select a parameter and click Convert.
-
Select the Configuration > Variables category.
All specialized variable sets are shown in the lower part of the document view.
-
Select a specialized variable set or click on 
in the variable set view's toolbar.
-
Select the previously added variable and enter a new value.
-
Select the Configuration > Start up configurations category.
-
Select a start up configuration and click Edit.
-
Select the General tab.
-
Select the specialized variable set in the Variable set menu.
-
Select the Configuration > Base objects category.
-
Select the base object and click 
.
- OR -
To add a new base object, click .
-
Select the specialized variable set in the Variable set menu.
- Save the changes.
For more information about using variables and variable sets, or restoring default values and adding base objects, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.

Editing target system connection properties
You can also use the system connection wizard to change the connection parameters. If variables are defined for the settings, the changes are transferred to the active variable set.
NOTE: In the following circumstances, the default values cannot be restored:
In both these cases, the system connection wizard overwrites the default values. They cannot be restored at a later time.
To edit connection parameters using the system connection wizard
-
In the Synchronization Editor, open the synchronization project.
-
In the toolbar, select the active variable set to be used for the connection to the target system.
NOTE: If the default variable set is selected, the default values are overwritten and cannot be restored at a later time.
-
Select the Configuration > Target system category.
-
Click Edit connection.
This starts the system connection wizard.
-
Follow the system connection wizard instructions and change the relevant properties.
- Save the changes.

Updating schemas
All the schema data (schema types and schema properties) of the target system schema and the One Identity Manager schema are available when you are editing a synchronization project. Only a part of this data is really needed for configuring synchronization. If a synchronization project is finished, the schema is compressed to remove unnecessary data from the synchronization project. This can speed up the loading of the synchronization project. Deleted schema data can be added to the synchronization configuration again at a later point.
If the target system schema or the One Identity Manager schema has changed, these changes must also be added to the synchronization configuration. Then the changes can be added to the schema property mapping.
To include schema data that have been deleted through compression and schema modifications in the synchronization project, update each schema in the synchronization project. This may be necessary if:
To update a system connection schema
-
In the Synchronization Editor, open the synchronization project.
-
Select the Configuration > Target system category.
- OR -
Select the Configuration > One Identity Manager connection category.
-
Select the General view and click Update schema.
- Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
This reloads the schema data.
To edit a mapping
-
In the Synchronization Editor, open the synchronization project.
-
Select the Mappings category.
-
Select a mapping in the navigation view.
Opens the Mapping Editor. For more information about mappings, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.
NOTE: The synchronization is deactivated if the schema of an activated synchronization project is updated. Reactivate the synchronization project to synchronize.
Adding other schema types
Add your own schema types if you want to synchronize data, which does not have schema types in the connector schema. You can let your own schema types be added when setting up the initial synchronization project with the project wizard, However, you can also add them after saving the synchronization project. This method is described here.
You can obtain an overview of which schema types are defined in the connector schema in the Synchronization Editor target system browser.
IMPORTANT: Both used and unused schema types are displayed in the Target System Browser. If the synchronization project is set, unused system types are deleted from the schema. Then they are longer appear in the Target System Browser.
Check the schema type list before you enable the synchronization project.
To start the Target System Browser
-
Open the synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor.
-
Select the Configuration > Target system category.
-
Select the General view and click Browse.
This opens the Target System Browser. You will see all the schema types used in this synchronization project in the upper pane of the Schema types view. The lower pane contains the list of unused schema types
To extend the connector schema with your own schema types
-
Find which out schema types you require.
-
Create a schema extension file. Save this file and keep the file name and path at the ready.
For more information, see Creating a schema extension file.
-
Open the synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor.
-
Select the Configuration > Target system category.
-
Click Edit connection.
This starts the system connection wizard.
-
Verify the data.
-
Enter the name and path of your schema extension file on the SAP connector schema page.
-
To check the schema extensions file for logical errors, click Test file.
All defined schema types are listed.
-
Click Next.
-
Click Finish to end the system connection wizard.
-
Select the view General and click Update schema.
- Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
The schema types, including your new schema types, are loaded.
-
Open the Target System Browser and check whether the schema types have been added.
The schema types are displayed in the list of used schema types.
-
Select the Mapping category and create mappings for the your new schema types. Take note of whether these are read-only or whether read/write access is permitted.
For more information about setting up mapping and schema classes, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.
-
Select the Workflows category and edit the worklows. Create additional synchronization steps for the new mappings. Take note of whether the schema types are read-only or whether read/write access is permitted.
For more information about setting up synchronization steps, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.
-
Save the changes.
-
Run a consistency check.
-
Activate the synchronization project.
. Enter a name for the variable set.
