Installing a hotfix in the One Identity Manager database

IMPORTANT: Test changes in a test system before you install a hotfix in a productive system.

Hotfix packages contain:

  • Transport packages that contain changes to the default configuration, such as templates, scripts, or processes in the One Identity Manager database

  • Modified files, such as *.exe, *.dll or *.vif

If you receive a transport package using a hotfix package, use the Database Transporter program to update the One Identity Manager database.

If a hotfix contains a modified file, copy the file to the install directory of the test computer for testing. To distribute the files to all workstations and servers using the automatic software automation, use the program Software Loader to import the files into the One Identity Manager database.

NOTE: If other configuration customizations are to be transferred to a One Identity Manager database in addition to a hotfix package, you can create a cumulative transport package to do this and, by using the Database Transporter, import the transport package into the target database.

Displaying the contents of a transport package with the Database Transporter

You can display the contents of a transport package with the Database Transporter before you import.

NOTE: Always start the Database Transporter on an administrative workstation.

To display the contents of a transport package

  1. Start the Launchpad and log in to the One Identity Manager database.

  2. In the Change & Extend view, select the Transport custom modifications entry and click Start.

    This starts the Database Transporter program.

  3. Select Show transport file.

  4. Select the transport package file browser and click Open.

  5. Click Next on the Select transport file page.

  6. The contents of the transport file are displayed on the Show transport file page.

    • To display the sequence in which the objects are imported

      1. Click + to select an entry in the transport file and select Sort in import order from the context menu.

      2. Click OK and enter the connection credentials for the database. This step is only required when you established the first in the order.

        The order in which the entry's objects are imported into the database is found.

      3. Repeat this step for all other entries for which you want to determine the import order.

    • To display the objects required for an import in the target environment, select the entry for the .xml file and select Show required objects from the context menu.

      Objects that are dependent on another object that is not part of the transport package are highlighted.

  7. To end the program, click Finish on the last page.

TIP: You can start the import of the transport package from display mode. On the Show transport file page, click the name of the transport package and use the Import context menu.

Importing transport packages with the Database Transporter

NOTE:

  • Test the changes in a test environment before you load a transport package in a production system. Use a copy of the production database for testing.

  • To import transport packages with Database Transporter, the user requires the Allows transport packages to be imported into the database program function (Transport_Import).

  • Start Database Transporter on an administrative workstation.

  • The database is set to single-user mode for the duration of the import. Close all existing connections to the database before starting the import.

  • When you import a transport package with schema extensions, the database is set to maintenance mode. Objects cannot be processed in the database during this time.

  • When you import a transport package with the Database Transporter, the import date and description, the database version, and the transport package name are recorded in the transport history of the target database.

To import a transport package

  1. Start the Launchpad and log in to the One Identity Manager database.

  2. In the Change & Extend view, select the Transport custom modifications entry and click Start.

    This starts the Database Transporter program.

  3. Select Import transport file on the home page.

  4. On the Select the database connection page, check the One Identity Manager database connection data and change it if necessary.

  5. Select the transport package file browser and click Open.

  6. Specify your import options on Select transport file.

    Table 23: Import options

    Setting

    Description

    Create a log file for the data import

    Enable this option to create a log file for the import. The log file is saved in the output directory of the transport file.

    Import objects singly and ignore errors

    Enable this option to import options individually. Errors, which might occur during importing are ignored and displayed when importing is complete. If you do not enable this option, the import procedure is canceled when errors occur.

    Ignore default data differences

    Enable this option to ignore changes to default data during the import. If you do not enable this option, the import procedure is canceled if changes to default data are included.

  7. Import steps and import progress are displayed on the Importing transport data page. The import procedure can take some time. Calculation tasks are queued for the DBQueue Processor on termination.

    NOTE: During import, if the expected value does not match with the actual value in the database, the Merge conflict dialog opens. For each conflict, you must decide which value is committed to the database.

    • If you want to keep database value, enable Current database value.

    • If you want the value from the transport package to overwrite the database value, enable Transport value.

  8. If changes have been made to the system configuration, for example, processes, or scripts imported, you have to compile the database after the tasks have been processed. Compilation is started automatically once importing is complete.

  9. To end the program, click Finish on the last page.

    NOTE: Use the button to save any errors that occur whilst importing.

  • When selecting the base directory, ensure that a directory hierarchy is not created unintentionally.

  • For web applications, select the installation directory of the web application to ensure that the required subdirectories, for example the bin directory, are detected correctly.

  • For more information about how to import customer-defined files using the Software Loader, see the One Identity Manager Operational Guide.
