IMPORTANT: Test changes in a test system before you install a hotfix in a productive system.
To deploy files
-
Hotfix packages that contain modified files are deployed as a Zip file. Unpack the Zip file in a temporary directory on the administrative workstation.
-
Copy the files to the installation directory on your administrative workstation.
Make sure that the directory structure is preserved. For example, copy *.exe files or *.dll files to the %ProgramFiles%\One Identity\One Identity Manager directory. Copy the Zip files for Angular projects (Html_<MMM>.zip) to the %ProgramFiles%\One Identity\One Identity Manager\imxweb directory.
-
Start the Software Loader on the administrative workstation and import the file into the One Identity Manager database.
NOTE: When you select the root directory in the Software Loader, ensure this does not create any unintended directory trees or delete directories that are still required.
