Customizing documentation

The menu bar of the Web Portal contains the Help button. The One Identity Manager Web Designer Web Portal User Guide can be opened from this help function.

The Web Designer gives you the option to extend the guide and to modify it with your Web Portal custom modifications. You can add text content as well as visuals and logos. To add a help archive, copy the current zip files (Help_WebPortal_DE.zip and/or Help_WebPortal_EN.zip) into the Web Designer directory. Automatic updating keeps these up-to-date. Custom help is maintained as a zip file under the project files.

If you are in Project files, the Add help archive function is available in the toolbar. This archive is required to make changes or extensions to existing default One Identity Manager Web Designer Web Portal User Guide. A new help archive is added in the definition tree view when you select this function.

Select the project to which to assigned the help archive in the top part of the view. All existing projects are listed under Projects. Then enter the language of your choice. A file name is generated from the selected project and language.

This file name cannot be configured. The lower part lists HTML documents, CSS documents and default help mappings. By double-clicking (or right-clicking) on an HTML document, for example, you can assigned custom help.

The selected file can be edited using Export.... You cannot edit directly in the Web Designer.

After you have finished editing the file, you must import it again into the Web Designer. The imported file is immediately available. You can even add your own HTML documents to the help archive. Custom help files replace the files from the default help archive after processing. You cannot delete default help files.

The help folders are regenerated if the help function is called in the Web Portal or if a help file is changed is one of the help archives default or custom).

Existing help files are updated if a new version is loaded. Custom help files are not overwritten.

Compiling and debugging

Before you can run a web project created with the Web Designer in a browser, you must compile with the Web Designer compiler.

Detailed information about this topic

Compiling a web application

The Web Designer compiler can be called from the Web Designer as well as from the Database Compiler. For more detailed information Database Compiler see the One Identity Manager Operational Guide.

You must compile a web project in the following cases.

The Web Designer compiler creates a set of DLL files from the web project's XML definition and saves them in the database. The web application loads these DLL file and uses them to display the web interface.

There are basically two ways to compile a web project.

  • Release compilation is run to release a specific version of the web project for use.
  • Debug compilation is used during the development phase for testing and debugging purposes. Debug compilation creates additional code to support the Web Designer debugger. This means the DLL files are somewhat larger.

Changes within the Web Designer do not effect web application as long as there is no release compilation.

A web application loads the most recently compiled DLL file for the respective web project. If these DLL files are updated, the web project reloads the new DLL files; however, only new sessions run with the code from the newly loaded DLLs.

Compiling with the Database Compiler

Use the Web Designer to compile a web application outside the Database Compiler. For more information about the Database Compiler, see the One Identity Manager Operational Guide.

To compile a database

  1. Open the Launchpad and select the Compile the database entry.
  2. On the Database Compiler's start page, click Next.
  3. On the Connect to database page, enter your credentials for the One Identity Manager database and click Next.
  4. In the menu, select the Do not compile scripts menu item.

    More options are enabled in the dialog and can be set.

  5. Disabled the options you do not want to compile.

    NOTE: Expand the options fields to view additional settings and edit them.

  6. Configure the additional settings, then click Next.

    Compiling takes place and the progress is displayed.

  7. Close compiling using Next.
  8. Close the program with Finish.
