Managing software

One Identity Manager allows you to manage software applications comfortably and to assign them to employees. In the Manager, individual software applications can be created and combined into software packages. The software and software packages are assigned to employees. You can make assignments directly or indirectly by assigning them to hierarchical roles. Software and software packages can be requested through the IT Shop.

NOTE: Prerequisite for the use of software management in One Identity Manager is the installation of the software management module. For more information about installing, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

One Identity Manager components for managing software are available if the Software | Application configuration parameters is set.

In the Designer, check if the configuration parameter is set. Otherwise, set the configuration parameter and compile the database.

If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are not longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
