This article includes updates for Smart ID 23.04.

 This article describes how to set up scheduled jobs in Smart ID Identity Manager. Scheduled jobs can be used for example to do scheduled import of person data from Active Directory or human resources (HR) system. 

There are two ways to create a scheduled job - via a timed process or via batch synchronization. Both are described in this article.

All search configurations and processes that are executed by a scheduled job must be assigned to the corresponding role, which is defined for scheduled jobs in system.properties. See List of Identity Manager system properties for more information.



The following prerequisites apply:

  • Installed Identity Manager

Timed process

A timed process job has a cron expression that defines when and how often the job should run.

  1. Log in to the Identity Manager Admin as an admin user.



To add or edit a timed process:

  1. Go to Home > Scheduled jobs.

  2. To add a new timed process, click +New. Enter a Name, select Job type (Timed process). Click Save+Edit. 

  3. On the right hand side in the next screen, provide a cron expression to schedule the job.

  4. In Timed Process on the left hand side, select the process that you want to execute from the drop down menu.

To edit an existing timed process, double-click the timed process name.



To see the status of a scheduled job:

  1. Log in to Identity Manager Operator.

  2. Click the ADMIN tab, and then Scheduled jobs in the menu on the left.
    All scheduled jobs are listed with a description, status, start and end time of the last synchronization and when the next execution is due.

The configuration depends on if the check box Enabled in Identity Manager Admin is checked or unchecked. Read more under heading "Activate/deactivate a batch synchronization job" below.



Batch synchronization

To create a batch synchronization, you first need a target data pool, a target core template, a search configuration with a corresponding data pool defining the data source, and a mapping, as described below. These tasks are done in Identity Manager Admin. The status of batch synchronizations can be viewed in Identity Manager Operator. 

Create data pools, core template, search configuration, and mapping

  1. Log in to the Identity Manager Admin as an admin user.
