IMPORTANT: Note the Advice for updating One Identity Manager.
Advice for updating One Identity Manager
Advice for updating One Identity Manager
-
Ensure that the administrative system user, who is going to compile the database, has a password before you update the One Identity Manager database to version 8.1.5. Otherwise the schema update cannot be completed successfully.
-
Note the following for automatic software updating:
-
Automatic software updating of version 7.0 to version 8.1.5 only works smoothly if the service pack 7.0.3 is installed. In addition, the files VI.Update.dll and JobService.dll must be installed.
Request the files VI.Update.dll and JobService.dll from the support portal.
To distribute the file, use the Software Loader.
Future service packs of 7.0 versions will already contain the changes to these files, and therefore, must not distributed separately.
-
Automatic software updating of version 7.1 to version 8.1.5 only works smoothly if the service pack 7.1.3 is installed.
-
-
One Identity Manager uses In-Memory OLTP ((Online Transactional Processing) for memory optimized data access. The database server must support Extreme Transaction Processing (XTP). If XTP is not enabled, the installation or update will not start. Check whether the SQL Server property Supports Extreme Transaction Processing (IsXTPSupported) is set to True.
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled to create memory-optimized tables:
-
A database file with the file type Filestream data must exist.
-
A memory-optimized data filegroup must exist.
The Configuration Wizard checks whether these prerequisites are fulfilled before the One Identity Manager database can be installed or updated. The Configuration Wizard offers repair methods for creating the database file and database group.
-
-
During the update of a One Identity Manager database version 7.0, 7.1 or 8.0 to version 8.1.5, different columns that were already semantically defined as mandatory fields become physical mandatory fields.
During the schema update with the Configuration Wizard, errors may occur due to inconsistent data. The update quits with an error message.
<table>.<column> must not be null
Cannot insert the value NULL into column '<column>', table '<table>'; column does not allow nulls.
UPDATE fails
Check and correct data consistency before updating a One Identity Manager database. In the add-on for the Configuration Module on the installation medium, a test script (\SDK\SQLSamples\Files\MSSQL2K\30374.sql) is provided. In case it fails, correct the data and restart the update.
-
During installation of a new One Identity Manager database or a new One Identity Manager History Database with version 8.1.5 or while updating an One Identity Manager database or One Identity Manager History Database from version 7.0.x, 7.1.x or 8.0.x to version 8.1.5, you can specify whether you want to work with granular permissions at server and database level. The Configuration Wizard then creates SQL Server logins and database users with the necessary permissions for administrative user, configuration users and end users. For more detailed information about permissions, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
After updating One Identity Manager, change the connection parameters. This affects, for example, the connection data for the database (DialogDatabase), the One Identity Manager Service, the application server, the administration and configuration tools, the web applications and web services as well as the connection data in synchronization projects.
If you want to switch to granular permissions when you update from 8.1.x, contact support. To access the Support Portal, go to https://support.oneidentity.com/identity-manager/.
-
To successfully compile HTML applications with the Configuration Wizard, you must download packages from the NPM repository. Ensure that the workstation running the Configuration Wizard can establish a connection to the website https://registry.npmjs.org.
Alternatively, it is possible to download the packages from a proxy server and make them available manually. For more information, see the knowledge article https://support.oneidentity.com/kb/266000.
-
In One Identity Manager versions 8.0, 8.0.1, 8.0.2, the One Identity Manager History Service and the One Identity Manager Service were both installed when the One Identity Manager History Database was installed.
If you are affected by this problem, uninstall the One Identity Manager History Database before updating your One Identity Manager History Service. Run the following command as administrator:
sc delete "HDBService"
-
Once this version has been installed, users that need to access the REST API in the application server require the Enables access to the REST API on the application server (AppServer_API) function. Assign this program function to the users. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

-
If you selected a user with Windows authentication to install the schema, you must use the same one for updating.
NOTE: If you want to switch to the granular permissions concept when you upgrade from version 7.0.x, 7.1.x or 8.0.x to version 8.1.5, use an installation user with permissions for this permissions concept. For more detailed information about permissions, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

Any required changes to system connectors or the synchronization engine are made available when you update One Identity Manager. These changes must be applied to existing synchronization projects to prevent target system synchronizations that are already set up, from failing. Patches are made available for this.
NOTE: Some patches are applied automatically. A process that migrates all existing synchronization project is queued in the Job queue to do this. To execute the process, the One Identity Manager Service must be started on the database server and on all the synchronization servers.

Check whether the DPR_Migrate_Shell process has been started successfully.
If the patch cannot be applied because the target system could not be reached, for example, you can manually apply it.
For more information, see Applying patches to synchronization projects.
