IDM8: How to customize Provisiong Framework

[Former Member]

Hi all

I have a brand new IDM 8 installation at hand and imported the provisiong framework / the different packages.

Now I'd like to customize a few things and don't know what's the best approach. Btw, where is this kind of framework customization documented?

In IdM 7.2

* you created Job folders for every single Repository, because you had to customize each Initial Load pass (e.g. "Write only when adding entry") separatly.

* you made a copy of the Create/ModifyABAPUser Task, added/removed Attributes you did'nt need and _linked_ this Task into the source task in the provisoning framework.

How is this handled in IDM8?

Regards

Hi Michael,

For the customization part, I copy what I need to change from the standard provisioning framework package to the custom package.

I then disable the task in the standard (check out first, disable, check in)

Example: I need to change the "Create Identity' task.

I check out the standard package, disable the create identity, copy the webtask, paste it in the custom package, check in the standard package and do all the changes

The standard package will be left intact and used as reference in case I need to recreate some jobs.

Thanks Marco.

How do you handle Initial Load Jobs per Repository?

Do you import the abap package multiple times, once for each repository?

Do you create copies of the standard Initial Load for each repository?

Hi Michael,

Initial loads are Per repository. I usually take the standard, copy it to a job folder for each repository. So yes, you can copy them and customize them for each repository depending on your needs.

As for the ABAP package, you only need to import it once. It will be used by all repositories.
