During synchronization, OpenIDM categorizes objects by situation. Situations are characterized by whether an object exists on a source or target system, whether OpenIDM has registered a link between the source object and the target object, and whether the object is considered valid. OpenIDM takes action depending on the situation.
You can define actions for particular situations in the
policies section of a synchronization mapping, as
shown in the following excerpt.
{
"policies": [
{
"situation": "CONFIRMED",
"action": "UPDATE"
},
{
"situation": "FOUND",
"action": "IGNORE"
},
{
"situation": "ABSENT",
"action": "CREATE"
},
{
"situation": "AMBIGUOUS",
"action": "IGNORE"
},
{
"situation": "MISSING",
"action": "IGNORE"
},
{
"situation": "UNQUALIFIED",
"action": "IGNORE"
},
{
"situation": "UNASSIGNED",
"action": "IGNORE"
}
]
}If you do not define a policy for a particular situation, OpenIDM takes the default action for the situation.
The situations and their corresponding actions are described in the following sections.
