SAP NW IDM RDS V1.720 work on IDM 8.0?

Former Member

RDS Team,

Hello. We are on IDM 8.0 (going to SP1 in a week). We are on SQL.

Since our Business Blueprinting for IDM and GRC functionality and requirements are delayed, I would like to test some scenarios with RDS V.1.720 on IDM 8.0.

Will SAP NW IDM RDS V1.720 work on IDM 8.0?

Is there a separate RDS for IDM 8.0?

Thanks.

James

Hi James,

I am the package owner of the RDS for IDM.

Currently we are in preparation for a new version of the RDS on IdM 8.0. But it’s not yet available. In this preparation we implemented the RDS V.1.720 on IDM 8.0, but we run into some issues. With some effort we managed to overcome this issues.
see also http://scn.sap.com/community/idm/blog/2015/01/23/quick-guide-on-importing-idm-72-rds-package-in-idm-...

But I would not recommend to try this in your real system landscape.  If you have a kind of sand box system available, you might give it a try.

And please keep in mind, SAP has not released the RDS for IDM 8.0, so we could not provide any further support.

Thanks Markus,

I appreciate the reply.

The trial and prototype intended is a sandbox, and not in our DEV, QAS, PRD Landscape.

But, if RDS for 8.0 will come out (when?) in a few weeks, I could wait for it, rather than trying RDS V.1.720.

Is there a roadmap  / intended date for the RDS for IDM 8.0 release?

I have read the workaround notes from Fredya Toslev within the blogs.

Hi James,

we plan to release the RDS in 2016, so not in the next few weeks. Sorry for that.

Markus,

Thanks. Is this RDS 2.0 on 2016?

Also, if I start with RDS V1.72 (on Sandbox), and RDS 2.0 is released, will it the upgrade be seamless (V1.72 to 2.0)?

Hi James,

the idea is to have the same scope in the V2 of the RDS on IDM 8.0. But there is no upgrade planed from RDS V1 to RDS V2. When the RDS content is implemented in IDM, it's upgraded with the product, since we use standard product features.

But if you stop the implementation of RDS V1, because you run into issues, it's not sure, that you might continue with V2. It ttaolly depends on the status of you system.

Or in other words, if have implemented V1.720 successfully on IDM 8.0, there is no need for an update. If you fail, you need to restore your sandbox system and restart with RDS V2.

Markus,

Hello.

Sounds like a hodge-podge workaround solution, and a 50-50% chance of working with V1.72.

Is there a note I can review to increase my chances of workaround success?

Or is it primarily the blog from Fedya Toslev that is the only available reference at this point:

http://scn.sap.com/community/idm/blog/2015/01/23/quick-guide-on-importing-idm-72-rds-package-in-idm-...

Additionally, is the document (D04_IDM720_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_XX.doc) agnostic of version (will work for 7.2 and 8.0?

Hi James,

no, the document are all still on IDM 7.2.

And there is no note to support.

Again, the RDS is only supported with IdM 7.2.

Thanks for confirming. I cannot install a package that is not supported (and frankly speaking experimental in nature per Fedya Toslev, even on a Sandbox environment. Is the RDS 2.0 released in January of 2016?

Is there a Building Block document for 8.0 available at this stage?

Thanks.

Hi James,

we do not have an exact date of release for the IdM 8.0 Version 2 of the RDS yet. And we do not have any updated BB documents, sorry.

Hello. I read through SAP Note 1806427, and have concluded that this RDS is a mess. Just the basic installation is covered, and note 1806427 has all the additional changes/mods that need to occur. We will surely wait for RDS 2.0.
