Manage reconciliation

To trigger, cancel, and monitor reconciliation operations over REST, use the openidm/recon REST endpoint. You can perform most of these actions using the IDM admin console.

Trigger a reconciliation

The following example triggers a reconciliation operation over REST based on the systemLdapAccounts_managedUser mapping:

curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon?_action=recon&mapping=systemLdapAccounts_managedUser"

By default, a reconciliation run ID is returned immediately when the reconciliation operation is initiated. Clients can make subsequent calls to the reconciliation service, using this reconciliation run ID to query its state, and to call operations on it. For an example, refer to Reconciliation Details.

The reconciliation run initiated previously would return something similar to the following:

{
  "_id": "05f63bce-4aaa-492e-9e86-a702d5c9d6c0-1144",
  "state": "ACTIVE"
}

To complete the reconciliation operation before the reconciliation run ID is returned, set the waitForCompletion property to true when the reconciliation is initiated:

curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon?_action=recon&mapping=systemLdapAccounts_managedUser&waitForCompletion=true"

To trigger this reconciliation using the IDM admin console, click Configure > Mappings, select a mapping, then click Reconcile.

If you click Cancel Reconciliation before it completes, you will need to start the reconciliation again.

Cancel a reconciliation

To cancel an in progress reconciliation, specify the reconciliation run ID. The following REST call cancels the reconciliation run initiated in the previous section:

curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request POST \
"https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon/0890ad62-4738-4a3f-8b8e-f3c83bbf212e?_action=cancel"

The output for a reconciliation cancellation request is similar to the following:

{
    "status":"INITIATED",
    "action":"cancel",
    "_id":"0890ad62-4738-4a3f-8b8e-f3c83bbf212e"
}

If the reconciliation run is waiting for completion before its ID is returned, obtain the reconciliation run ID from the list of active reconciliations, as described in the following section.

To cancel a reconciliation run in progress using the IDM admin console, click Configure > Mappings, click on the mapping reconciliation to cancel, and click Cancel Reconciliation.

List reconciliation history

Display a list of reconciliation processes that have completed, and those that are in progress, by running a RESTful GET on "https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon".

The following example displays all reconciliation runs:

curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon"

Example Output

The output is similar to the following, with one item for each reconciliation run:

You can adjust the number of reconciliation runs that are stored in IDM by adding the maxAnalysisRunsPerMapping and maxNonAnalysisRunsPerMapping properties to your mapping:

"reconAssociation" : {
    "maxAnalysisRunsPerMapping" : 1,
    "maxNonAnalysisRunsPerMapping" : 3
}

In this context, analysis refers to reconciliation runs that are triggered with the analyze=true parameter. These runs don’t perform any actions, but determine which actions would be performed in a real reconciliation. Non-analysis refers to a normal reconciliation.

In contrast, the IDM admin console displays the results of only the most recent reconciliation. For more information, refer to View reconciliation details using the IDM admin console.

Reconciliation details

To display the details of a specific reconciliation over REST, include the reconciliation run ID in the URL. The following call shows the details of the reconciliation run initiated in Trigger a reconciliation.

curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon/05f63bce-4aaa-492e-9e86-a702d5c9d6c0-1144"

View reconciliation details using the IDM admin console

You can display the details of the most recent reconciliation in the IDM admin console. Select the mapping. In the page that displays, you will see a message similar to:

Completed: Last reconciled November 20, 2019 15:28

Clicking on the reconciliation run date displays the details of the reconciliation run. Click Reconciliation Results for additional information.

If a reconciliation fails, select the Failure Summary tab for more information about the failure.

Reconciliation association details

When performing a reconciliation run, information is reconciled between the source object and the target object. This creates an association between the two objects, which can be recorded in IDM by including the persistAssociations=true parameter when triggering a reconciliation. This information can then be retrieved by querying the recon/assoc endpoint.

The persistAssociations parameter is false by default because setting it to true can cause performance issues when performing large reconciliations, and in extreme cases, can cause a system outage. Refer to How do I troubleshoot and improve reconciliation performance in Identity Cloud?

To get a list of currently stored recon associations, run the following query:

curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon/assoc?_queryFilter=true"
{
  "result": [
    {
      "_id": "da88b9a5-1fe5-4f8d-a6a8-7e0a2b4e136b-9230",
      "_rev": "1",
      "mapping": "managedUser_systemLdapAccounts",
      "sourceResourceCollection": "managed/realm-name_user",
      "targetResourceCollection": "system/ldap/account",
      "isAnalysis": "false",
      "finishTime": "2019-05-01T23:36:24.434153Z"
    },
    {

  ],
  "resultCount": 2,
  "pagedResultsCookie": null,
  "totalPagedResultsPolicy": "NONE",
  "totalPagedResults": -1,
  "remainingPagedResults": -1
}

You can also get information for a specific reconciliation by querying the recon ID:

curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon/assoc/da88b9a5-1fe5-4f8d-a6a8-7e0a2b4e136b-9230"
{
  "_id": "da88b9a5-1fe5-4f8d-a6a8-7e0a2b4e136b-9230",
  "_rev": "1",
  "mapping": "managedUser_systemLdapAccounts",
  "sourceResourceCollection": "managed/realm-name_user",
  "targetResourceCollection": "system/ldap/account",
  "isAnalysis": "false",
  "finishTime": "2019-05-01T23:36:24.434153Z"
}

It is possible to also get the specific association details of each entry in the reconciliation run by appending /entry to your query:

curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon/assoc/da88b9a5-1fe5-4f8d-a6a8-7e0a2b4e136b-9230/entry?_queryFilter=true"

      "reconId": "da88b9a5-1fe5-4f8d-a6a8-7e0a2b4e136b-9230",
      "situation": "CONFIRMED",
      "action": "UPDATE",
      "linkQualifier": "default",
      "sourceObjectId": "ee2449a8-01e6-4c0b-84d3-e65e25c3e38c",

      "message": null,
      "messageDetail": "null",
      "ambiguousTargetObjectIds": null
    }
  ],
  ...
}

For particularly large reconciliations, the results returned can be quite substantial, since it includes the details of every object reconciled. We encourage using query filters to tune your queries to only return the subset of results you’re looking for.

Purge reconciliation statistics

When the number of completed reconciliation runs for a given mapping reaches the number specified by maxAnalysisRunsPerMapping or maxNonAnalysisRunsPerMapping, statistics are purged automatically. Statistics and reconciliation run information (such as recon associations) are purged chronologically by mapping, with the oldest reconciliation run for that mapping purged first.

You can also manually remove reconciliation statistics. To purge reconciliation statistics from the repository manually, run a DELETE command on the reconciliation run ID. For example:

curl \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request DELETE \
"https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/openidm/recon/da88b9a5-1fe5-4f8d-a6a8-7e0a2b4e136b-9230"
