5.3 Importing Deployments

Objects that were exported into an XML file by using the Deployment Manager can be imported into Oracle Identity Manager by using the Deployment Manager. You can import all or part of the XML file, and you can import multiple XML files at once. The Deployment Manager ensures that the dependencies for any objects you are importing are available, either in the import or in your system. During an import, you can substitute an object you are importing for one in your system. For example, you can substitute a group specified in the XML file for a group in your system. This section discusses the following topics: ■ Deployment Manager Actions on Reimported Scheduled Tasks ■ Importing an XML File

5.3.1 Deployment Manager Actions on Reimported Scheduled Tasks

A scheduled task is one of the objects that you can import by using the Deployment Manager. Typically, you import a scheduled task into your Oracle Identity Manager environment and later change the values of the scheduled attributes to meet your production requirements. However, if you import the same scheduled task a second time into the same Oracle Identity Manager server, the Deployment Manager does not overwrite the attribute values in the database. Instead, the Deployment Manager compares the attribute value of the reimported XML file to any corresponding attribute values in the database. The following table summarizes the actions performed by the Deployment Manager during a scheduled task reimport: Note: ■ If a user belongs to a group to which the Import menu item has been assigned, then that user must also have the necessary permissions for the objects that the user wants to import. Without these object-specific permissions, the Import operation fails. The user must be a Deployment Manager Administrator to be able to see Deployment Manager menu items on the UI based on menu permissioning model. ■ When more than 1000 resources, process definitions, parent forms, child forms, access policies, roles, and rules are imported by using the Deployment Manager, the size of the EIF table increases. The data can be truncated from this table by running a simple SQL query such as Delete from EIF. Note: Before importing data that contains references to menu items, you must first create the menu items in the target system. Does the Scheduled Task have attribute values in the XML file being imported? Are there any corresponding attribute values in the database? Deployment Manager Action Yes No Store attribute values in the database
