Resource wizard: Association type subject

Some wizard panels are configurable, for more information see Wizard panels.

Resource, object type, attribute, mapping, synchronization situation and other aspects of resource configuration can be configured in different lifecycle states. As it was mentioned earlier, the Lifecycle state property can be used with Simulations. The resource is created in Proposed lifecycle state by default, it won’t work for normal deployment without switching to Active state.

By using the lifecycle state Proposed, you can test (simulate) the configuration without causing any damage to your target system data. When the simulation results are satisfactory, you can switch the lifecycle state to Active.

As the lifecycle state can be set on various configuration items, midPoint gives you a way of turning on specific parts of configuration incrementally. For example, after you switch your resource to Active lifecycle state, we recommend to add any new mappings first in Proposed lifecycle state. The new mapping can be simulated without causing any harm and switched to Active lifecycle state when ready.

Resource wizard has several limitations as of midPoint 4.8, such as:

midPoint resource wizard won’t be able to show or allow editing of these features but should tolerate them and keep them in the configuration.
