Synchronization and Templates

First, the Sync Engine itself has not access to the Object Layer but the One Identity Manager connector itself does have access. Means, in scripted variables or scripted properties, you cannot use the known object layer syntax but have to use the options laid out in the threads you seem to have read.

Second, your template does not fire because you haven't set the Data import option set on your workflow step for the persons in your LDAP sync project. For more information see the threads:

I noticed that the "Data Import" option turns FULLSYNC on and off, but I did not expect this to have any effect, because the value templates effected don't have any conditions.  They should always trigger.  I was assuming the templates were not firing, because after the HR feed, I could go to any Person which had not been updated, and issue 'execute templates'.  The person was updated immediately.

However... we tried turning on the "Data Import" option, and the problem does seem to dissappear.  I'm guessing this has some strange side effect other than just toggling a boolean.  I'm going to leave it on and see what happens in next few days...

You should verify that IsOverwritingTemplate is set for your template. (In Designer: Column properties => Value calculation "Overwrites" is checked)

Hi Markus 

I have a overwrite custom template. I want to change the condition in it. Does it execute template fire for all the objects? Or I need to manually execute the template for all the objects from object browser to get the effect?

another question I have, during the synchronisation if the target system have different value, what will happen that time from the below options 

1. Value get updated whatever target system have and template does not execute 

2. during the synchronisation execution template run and update the value based on template script. and it might happen that target and one identity have different value 

3. during the synchronisation execution template run and update the value based on template script  then one identity pushed the value to target if the value is different

Thanks in advance

If you change a template, the objects will not be updated automatically. But you can trigger the re-calculation of the templates in several ways. Try to search for this in the community here. One option is mentioned in this thread: https://www.oneidentity.com/community/identity-manager/f/forum/27249/how-to-apply-a-attribute-template-to-all-user

In regards to 1. to 3., it depends a little bit on your synchronization direction and the settings of the workflow (Data Import flag) and on the mappings.
