Repository Decommission

0 Kudos

Hi Experts,

We are working on SAP IDM 8.0.

We are looking to disconnect one of the ABAP system as it is not in use now.

Is there any document which contain all the steps to be followed to perform the activity.

Your answers/comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rahul

Hi Rahul,

the documentation that Alex provided is helpful, but very far from being perfect.

If you follow it, there will be a lot of debris left in the system, which later will only get it stuck with unneeded data. Additionally the deletion of the repository might not even work, because you will get a message that there are certain references to this repository and until those are removed, you won't be able to delete it.

Here is a list of passes, which we always implement in order to de-commission a repository properly: (depending on what you want to achieve, you might have to run some of the below passes with BYPASS_MEMBER_TASK=1)

1. Remove all repository privileges from any business roles

2. Remove all repository privileges from any users

3. Delete any repository generated attributes (e.g. ACCOUNT)

4. Delete all repository privileges from the identity store

5. Delete the system privilege for this repository

6. Delete any generated groups for the repository (e.g. Java., AD)

7. Obsolete jobs, which refer the repository you are about to delete

8. Check and update any PVO, which might be pending for that repository

9. Login to Admin UI and try to delete the repository

That's all.

Hi Rahul,

I don't know exactly what you intend to do, delete a repository or disable it. Both can be done with SAP IDM. The necessary steps are in the SAP IDM Config Guide, Chapter "Maintaining Repositories", which is located here:

https://help.sap.com/viewer/4773a9ae1296411a9d5c24873a8d418c/LATEST/en-US/e1312e41e4a34f09a43924c49c...

Please check out the sub-chapters "Deleting Repositories" or "Disabling Repositories" respectively.

Regards,

Alex
