Sun IdM newbie - netbeans question

Our Sun IdM configurator consultants have left and I'm trying to open our Development IdM project in Netbeans (just went to admin training and want to poke around). I have all the software ready on the workstation and the Sun IdM Netbeans plugin installed.
I cannot create a successfull project on my Windows XP workstation and I think I'm missing a few steps.
Here's what I did so far:
1. Checked out the code in Netbeans.
2. Ran the command "ant -verbose dist-war" and got a BUILD SUCCESSFULL message.
3. I open netbeans and browse to the IdM directory but instead of opening the project, it traverses into the next folder.
What are my next steps in order to open this in Netbeans as a project? I can copy the IdM/nbproject directory from the workstation our consultants developed the software on into the IdM directory on my workstation and Netbeans will allow me to open the project.
But to do this the correct way, what do I have to do after the build to get the nbproject and other project related directories/files into my IdM directory so I can open the folder as a Netbeans project?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

OK, OK if the policy is set to generate my troubles go away.... I thought that was gone with metaview?
Anyway, what if I'd like to choose a special Policy for creation that differs from normal operations?
CU,
Patrick.

Netbeans IDE download for SUN IdM 7.1

Folks
Can anyone tell where i could get the Netbeans IDE download for SUN IdM 7.1?
Thanks
Chellappan Sampath.

Hello Chellappan,
Do you actually have the IDM 7.1 bits? Per the 2 forum threads I posted earlier, did you check out the contents of the idm.war file that comes as part of the IDM 7.1 distribution? In the "sample" directly inside of idm.war you'll see "ide-bundle.zip". I uploaded it to our server for your convenience:
https://supportuploads.sun.com/download?directory=downloads&file=ide%2dbundle%2ezip
Also, directly in the IDM 7.1 zip you'll see: com-sun-idm-ide.nbm - I uploaded this as well in case you need it:
https://supportuploads.sun.com/download?directory=downloads&file=com%2dsun%2didm%2dide%2enbm
Finally, here's the public download link for all of IDM 7.1 in case there's something else you're missing:

IDM 6.0 Questions

Hi there,
my company�s planning to get the Sun IDM.
There are some Questions left and maybe someone can help me answering them.
- Is it possible to use a MS SQL DB as Repository or must it be an MySQL?
- Can SAP deliver timezone informations? (so i can configure the IDM to consider this information when distributing an appointment to exchange servers in other time zones)
oh and finally, when is the 7.0 release?
Thanks for your help.
Marc

You can use MS SQL Server as repository

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

Sun idm 8.0.0.3: generate random password according to policy

Hi all,
probably a stupid question: using sun idm 8 I have an active-sync-source, containing employees but no passwords. So I should generate a new password in my active-sync-form and search for a way to export the password so new employees can be sent a letter "welcome at company, here is your password". Something like that.
However, I fail to generate a password in the first place. I think I read about a PasswordGenerator once, but can't find it.
So, what's the preferred way to generate a new password, if possible according to a selected password-policy?
CU,
Patrick.

Sun idm adapter for Enterprise Service Bus (Using MQ)

Hi
Can you please let me know if any sun idm adapter support Enterprise Service Bus (Using MQ) ?
Thanks

As answer on question 1:
No I never found any documentation from SAP that described a ESB solution. So al the knowledge must come from other vendors in your case from Sonic.
But there is hope you can use XI in a ESB way. You must only (add) configure the ESB parts. This is done by adding a service repository for example the UDDI server in combination with some BPML engine.
By adding it al together you can execute your business processes over multiple system platforms using SOAP in a synchronic way.
This is the basic concept of a ESB.
The answer to question 2.
I dont know if XI has build in support, but a know that there are free tools that can handle Canonical XML. So you can make a service your self to handle the Canonical XML documents.

Future of Sun IdM

Hi,
I heard that Oracle is going to wipe off Sun IdM, actually my team attended Oracale webcast meeting may be some of you guys attended that meeting and they revealed this information, I am wondering how true is that statement? Also heard that this will be done in next 2 years, so SIM will die after 2 years?
I don't have much knowledge on OIM...I have some questions any experts please guide..
1. Does OIM supports Express language?
2. What are all the basic technologies that we need to learn if we want to move to OIM from SIM?
3. Which langaue will be used in OIM to develop forms/workflows?
If anybody is having any additional info please share so that it will useful for us to go in a right direction.
Thanks in advance.

So, to put it all clearly in a nutshell : exactly WHAT is the fate of Sun IDM ?Oracle has stated that Oracle IDM (not Sun IDM) is their going forward product. Usually that's corporate talk for "we're no longer working on this product". Sun IDM is going to be put on maintenance support for several years but there will likely be no further development on it. That is you can expect to see bug fixes and patches for a few years, but no new features.
Is it going to be scrapped totally, or not?Yes. That's the impression I got from Oracle's announcement. Watch their web cast at [http://oracle.com.edgesuite.net/ivt/4000/8104/9236/12628/lobby_external_flash_clean_480x360/default.htm|http://oracle.com.edgesuite.net/ivt/4000/8104/9236/12628/lobby_external_flash_clean_480x360/default.htm] . It's only 15 minutes long.
>
We just recently installed Sun IDM 8.1, and have only just begun to use it.
It would be a shame to have to scrap it after only a year or so, considering all the effort that went into it.
However, of course, if there's nothing to be done ---- if IDM is being scrapped ---- then it would be great to know this now, and not further down the road.Those of us who have had it installed for years are even worse off. The time and effort that needs to be reinvested into another competing IDM product is huge.
Does anybody know the verdict? Is IDM being exterminated? Or can we continue to use it for years to come?Yes it's being terminated. You can expect to see Sun IDM technology integrated into Oracle IDM, but in what fashion nobody knows. You can continue to use it for several years as Oracle has committed to providing regular support until 2014, extended support until 2017 and indefinite sustaining support. Personally, I wouldn't rely on anything past the standard support period.
Do not get confused with the renaming of the Sun IDM product. It's being called Oracle Waveset but from what I can tell that doesn't change any of the plans to terminate the product. It's just a removal of the Sun branding.

Can a single Sun IDM gateway agent be used for both Dev and QA machine

We have three different machines - one for IDM QA, one for IDM DEV and one remote machine where Sun IDM gateway is installed.
If we run the Dev and QA gateway on the same server, we won't be able to test any updates in an isolated environment before rolling out to QA..right?
Is it possible to have a Sun IDM gateway agent instance on the same remote machine? or do we have to install gateway separately on DEV and QA? Any ideas??

Hello Manidhar,
You have three different machines -
QA,DEV and IDM Remote gateway.
If we run the Dev and QA gateway on the same server,
we won't be able to test any updates in an isolated
environment before rolling out to QA..right?
you are right. you won't have an isolated environment for testing. it creates interdependancy between DEV/QA environments.
on the other hand, if DEV or QA server goes down, you end up loosing both the enviroments Gateway. it creates a SPF ( Single Point Failure) and it's not a best practice to do so from archicture point of view if you indend to maintain HA ( High Availability) 99.99% up-time.
Is it possible to have a Sun IDM gateway agent
instance on the same remote machine for DEV/QA?
this also creates a SPF situation.
or do we have to
install gateway separately on DEV and QA?
Since you have 3 different machines for 2 +1 Environments,
it is best practice to have
1. Seperate Gateway(s) for each Environment
1. For Dev, 1 For QA
so you have two isolated enviroments for testing, but also gives you the flexibility of keeping the QA Environment closer to Production possible without disturbing Dev
let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Sam

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.

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.
regards
Vaibhav

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.

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.

General place for newbie datamodeler questions?

With the production release of SQL Developer Data Modeler I'd assume that this forum will draw a bunch of new users. Is there a better place to ask some pretty simple, newbie like questions that won't bother the more seasoned members?
For instance, I am working in a Rails environment, which has some stringent naming conventions, one of which is that all of the primary key columns are numeric and called "id", with the foreign key linked columns called <table_name>_id. When engineering a logical model to a relational model, the added foreign key columns are all "id#". Is there a way I can define a naming rule to keep me from having to redo the relation column names?
Also, we have a standard set of columns (mostly Rails related) which appear in every table. Can I define a generation rule which automatically includes these tables?
Thanks

Thank you. I will try changing that setting.
IS there a setting which tells the relational model to automatically create pk and fk indexes? I haven't seen one, and manually setting them up is a tedious task. --sw
