UM DataSource Configuration

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I was refering the following discussion thread

to change the UME Datasource from dataSourceConfiguration_database_only.xml to dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml.

I was able to understand the following steps explained by Kaushal:

1. Goto System Administration->System Configuration->UM Configuration

(Do not change the datasource from here)

2. Select SAP System tab

3. Enter the following and Save

Client, User, Password, System language, Application server, System Number, Maximum Size of Connection Pool, and Maximum Wait Time in Milliseconds

4. Shut Down Portal Server

5. Run the Config Tool and Under Cluster Data->Global Server Configuration->services->com.sap.security.core.ume.service; find the key ume.persistence.data_source_configuration

6. Change the value to <your required one> (for eg: dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml)

7. Click on set and from Flie->Apply

8. Restart the portal server and your data source is changed

My doubt is; the step to upload the configuration file (i.e. dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml)is not mentioned. Where do this step come (in the above sequence) and how do you do it? Is it using System Administration->Sytsem Configuration->UM Configuration and DataSource tab. If yes, when is this step done in the above sequence of steps.

I have downloaded the configuration file using the note 718383.

SAP J2EE SP level is 09.

Best Regards,

Loveline.

Hi Loveline,

The xml file is uploaded using configtool and can be done previous to the steps above. after uploading the datasouse file a J2EE engine restart is necesary

To upload open configtool -> Click on UME LDAP data -> Then click on Upload

Hope this help

Hi All,

What actually happens when a upload of configuration file happens through the UM Configuration Tool (System Administration->Sytsem Configuration->UM Configuration) in the DataSource tab?

Is it that only the upload of the configuration file happens and not change of datasource i.e. a simple file upload and by this one more configuration file is available for use. This action does not change the datasource, right? If we have to change the datasource we need to do it explicitly through config tool, right?

Best Regards,

Hi Loveline,

Uploading the datasourse file via System Administration->Sytsem Configuration->UM Configuration, will actually change the datasourse file to the uploaded one, thats why the warning on the page <b>"WARNING! You are going to change the data source configuration. This can lead to inconsistent data.

For more information, read Note 718383."</b>

Hope this help!

Hi Juan,

Do you mean to say that this step should be done any time after step 4?
