Sun IDM : License Expires

Hello all,
I have a random question here.
We have been using Sun IDM (version 8.1) for the last 3 years or so.
We purchased a subscription from Sun, which expires in May next year (2012).
We are aware that, this means : we will no longer receive any form of support from Oracle, nor will we have access to any product updates.
However, we are curious : will we still be able to use the product itself? Or, does the expiry of our license/subscription mean that our IDM system will suddenly shut down, and stop working?
Thanks

From what I understand, there are two components to the support contract, the level of support and the license to use the product. Please check with the Oracle sales guys or gals to get the details.
I think the confusion stems from the fact that Sun used to give people a free to use license on most of their products and made the support contract for those products as a value-add option. However, not all products were available like that, some products actually had to be licensed in combination with a support contract. I think Identity Manager was one of the products which falls into the latter category.

Applying patch for WLS 10 license expiration does not help

I recently upgraded my BEA installation from 9.2 to 10.0. I applied the 2VJT patch to my installation of WLS10 to get around the licensing problem. But the patch does not seem to help and i still get the license expired error.
To verify that the patch has been applied, i checked using the bsu scripts and shown below is the output.
Any clues on what is missing?
Thanks

Further debugging the issue, shows that the PATCH_CLASSPATH being picked up is wrong and points to the 9.2 version instead of the wls10.0. Not sure how to fix this since the rest of the JARs are from the wls10 version as is seen here (fyi bea-wl9.2 is BEA_HOME)

Sun IDM vs Oracle IDM

Hi Everyone,
The current version of IDM we are at is 6.0. We are thinking of the following options:
1. Upgrade Sun IDM 6.0 -- IDM 8.1
2. Migrate to latest Oracle IDM.
Could someone please let me know the pros/cons in considering one over the other options?
Thanks,

Hi,
A very interesting question but not one that can be answered easily.
As Oracle is in the process of buying Sun then the future of both products is uncertain. Sun IDM might survive or Oracle IDM might survive or the future Oracle IDM product may be a combination of both. I do not believe that we will see a resolution to this for at least 6 months. Even then it will only be an annoucement.
I also do not see an major improvements in either product until there is greater certainty of what will be the future product.
For your particular circumstance I would upgrade from Sun IDM 6.0 -- IDM 8.1. The main reasons are as follows:
- Software currency. IDM 6.0 is no longer supported.
- The upgrade is free of licencing costs.
- Improved functionaility of the latest version of Sun IDM.
- Little training is required
Migrating to Oracle IDM would not be a trivial task and would probably include significant cost eg training, licensing and potentially hardware.
I hope this helps

Error while Reading Idocs from ECC 6.0 to Sun IDM .

Hi Gurus,
We have a scenerio where we have to update the Sun IDM Server with all the changes in HR Data happening in ECC.
For that... we have
1. Created a Logical System for Sun IDM server, Port, RFC Connection (TCP/IP).
2. Assigned Partner Profiles, Distribution Model etc. for msg. type HRMD_A ;
3. We have created a Communications User used by the IDM server to connect to ECC.
Idocs are created daily and are in status 03 - Data passed to Port OK !
and on the In Sun Identity manager 8.0 we have created SAP resource adapter for ECC 6.0,
after giving resource parameters our test connection is successful.
We also changed edit synchronisation policy for the same but when we start synchronisation in IDM, it is unable to read any idocs although Idocs are generated in SAP .
Log file gives the message as "Incoming IDoc list request containing 0 documents"
We also have one more error ;
some times while doing a connection test : JCO.Server could not find server function 'åäåä¹'
while most of the times the connection is successful.
Please suggest .

Hi Gurus,
The error got resolved .
The changes in the settings i did :
SAP SIDE : Made the RFC Connection Unicode.
IDM SIDE : Checked on the "SAP Server Unicode" checkbox; while doing the HR Activ Synch Settings.
This Resolved the error.

SUN IDM with Windows Vista

Hello,
Has anybody tried installing SUN IDM with windows vista
I tried IDM 7.1 with vista home premium and doesnt seem to work. Curious to know if any body has success with vista
Awaiting replies
Thanks,

What error message are you getting?
Have you installed Java and an apllication servers as requested?
1) Set Up a Java Virtual Machine Software Development Kit and Java Compiler
The application requires a Java compiler and a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to run the Java classes that perform actions within Identity Manager. Both of these can be found in a Java SDK. Download from or http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp *** You should add JAVA_HOME to your list of system environment variables and to your system path. To do this, add JAVA_HOME to your system environment and JAVA_HOME\bin to your path, making sure to list it before any other Java environment variables.
2) Install Tomcat application server from official http://tomcat.apache.org/ to local hard drive. Configure Tomcat memory requirements and restart. Min: 256k

Db2 license expiring in SAP Dev system

hello All,
Im new to DB6 database and we are experiencing db2 license expiring.
What logs should I first investigate and and what SAP tcode can help me with this aside from SM21.
Thanks and hoping for your kind feedback.

Hi,
From SAP, I am not sure but from OS level, you can easily check it.
You can check Alert Logs in DBACOCKPIT transaction, from there I think you will get some information.
Thanks

Movement of accounts in AD natively; How Sun IDM identity is affected

Dear Reader,
We are planning to integrate Windows Active Directory with Sun IDM 6.0 SP1. Even after integrating AD with Sun IDM there will be lots of changes to the native account like especially moving the account from one OU to another etc
Since Sun IDM identity has the distinguished name of AD account for its reference; if someone moves the AD Account natively how will that affect IDM identity.
I heard from couple of my friends that Sun IDM uses objectGUID to refer account in AD so even if the account is moved from one OU to another there will be no issue, is that right?
Will Sun IDM 6.0 SP1 work that way or this fix was introduced in the later release?
Is there any other factor involved in this which will affect the way Sun IDM works when the account is moved natively?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance

We use IdM 7.1.1.11 and AD.
Sun does use the GUID once it has it. And, if the dn changes and the GUID stays the same, IdM won't care. Although in examining logs I saw that Sun asks AD first based on the GUID, then if it can't find it, reverts to the dn. We manage what OU our accounts are in via IdM. So we don't allow AD admins to move accounts around. During our initial migration, we are syncing up GUIDs, and correcting any bad OU values. Don't know if that helps, but I have some experience looking at some of this and can offer my oberservations.

Exploratory Programming of the Sun IDM API

Exploratory Programming of the Sun IDM API using Rhino
Sun IDM comes with a JavaScript interpreter (Rhino) that can be invoked from the command-line. This gives developers an easy way to explore the large number of classes that comprised the product.
Let's say for example that you need the approvers of a role object in order to display them on a form. (The role view provides this information, but let's ignore this for the purpose of this example.) The role javadoc mentions two methods to get the approvers, getApproverRefs() and getApprovers(). Unfortunately they are not described clearly, and the difference between the two is not clear either.
In order to understand what these methods do and what they return, you can use the interpreter to invoke each one directly.
First start the interpreter with the 'lh.bat js' command:
lh.bat jsYou will be greeted with the javascript prompt "js>"
Then the first thing to do is to login to the application server. Copy-paste the following code into the shell interpreter.
// Java packages are prepended with the word 'Packages'
// and are imported using the 'importPackage' function
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.util);
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.object);
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.security.authn);
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.session);
importPackage(Packages.com.waveset.ui);
importPackage(Packages.java.util);
// Use arguments[0] and arguments[1] if you want to pass credentials from the command line
// Here we just use the built-in account "configurator"
var epass = new EncryptedData("configurator");
var session = SessionFactory.getSession("configurator", epass);
print("Waveset session established");Alternatively save the above code to a text file called "idm-init.js" and load the file from the interpreter.
js> load("idm-init.js")
Waveset session establishedOnce a session has been established, objects can be loaded from the repository. Enter this line at the prompt to get the role object named "testrole3"
js> var roleObject = session.getObject("Role", "testrole3");Enter the variable name at the prompt to cause the interpreter to invoke the object's 'toString' method.
js> roleObject
Role:testrole3Use a 'for' loop to print out all of the object's method and fields.
js> for (i in roleObject) { print(i) }Enter a method's name to invoke it. Let's call getApproverRefs().
js> var approvers1 = roleObject.getApproverRefs();
js> approvers1
[User:role1approver(id=#ID#1CC1759638D9AF96:182C132:10F3E8040B5:-7FBE), User:role2approver(id=#ID#1CC1759638D9AF96:182C132:10F3E8040B5:-7FB8)]
js> approvers1.get(0).getClass();
class com.waveset.object.ObjectRefNow let's check out getApprovers().
js> var approvers2 = roleObject.getApprovers();
js> approvers2
[Lcom.waveset.object.WSUser;@d3c69c
js> approvers2[0].getClass()
class com.waveset.object.WSUserSo getApproverRefs() returns a list of ObjectRef objects, while getApprover() returns an array of WSUser objects.
In summary the Sun IDM JavaScript interpreter can be used to explore the product's vast API. This article used the role class and its getApprovers() and getApproverRefs() methods as an example for exploratory programming. Other applications include automated testing and administrative scripts.

Yes you can customise IDM it is all available in courses and the manuals also provide some info.
As long as you can write the code you need in java or javascript you can call it from IDM: that could be an interface to you naming app.
Otherwise use the SPML interface if you want to use something else then the GUI. This is also described in the manuals.

Expert pls help: Sun IDM with ldap active sync

Hi all,
Currently i am configuring Sun IDM 6.0 SP1 to active sync with Sun directory server. I have enabled Retro Change Log but yet i cant find my changeNumber in directory server. Could anyone show me a way (search?) to get what changeNumber directory server currently running?

Check the account used by IDM to access DS can search cn=changelog branch. If he is not Directory Manager, you probably need to set an ACI on that branch.

Evaluation license expiring early

I have setup two instances of the Server 2012 Eval for the purposes of testing the failover clustering system with a legacy Oracle database control system. Because of several mishaps, I was required to reload the OS on each machine at least three times
(DirectAccess/RAS refused to be configured, other annoyances).
The problem is the eval license is failing after 30 days. The server displays a "license expired" indication, and then the machine shuts down unexpectedly or stops RPC communications - which tend to stop the test.
I have tried full MS updates and "registering" the trial to no avail.
The trial has been underway for 45 days or so and the OS reloads stopped after the first two weeks. The first machine dropped off last week (forcing an OS reload), and now the 2nd is having the same issues.
Any suggestions other than recreating the machines and moving really fast?
Thanks.

My build 9431 2012 R2 Datacenter Evaluation install has also expired early.
Is this activation process still out of commission? The emails and website indicate that the preview should last 180 days, but it has only been just over 90 for this install. Any tips for getting rid of the Demi-hourly restarts?
