SAP HR Driver 4.1.1.0100 Release Notes

Overview

This update is applicable for SAP HR drivers running OpenText Identity Manager 4.9. The driver version will be changed to 4.1.1.0100 after the patch is applied.

System Requirements

Upgrading the Driver

The driver upgrade process involves updating the driver files.

Updating the Driver Files

  1. Take a back-up of the current driver configuration.

  2. If the driver is running locally, stop the driver instance and the Identity Vault.

  3. If the driver is running with a Remote Loader instance, stop the driver and the Remote Loader instance.

  4. Download and unzip the contents of the IDM_SAP_HR_Driver_4.1.1_P1.zip file to a temporary location on your computer.

  5. To update the driver files as a root user:
    1. On the server where you want to apply the driver patch, log in as root/administrator.

    2. Navigate to the extracted IDM_SAP_HR_Driver_4.1.1_P1.zip directory and perform one of the following actions for your platform:

      rpm -Uvh (patch-path)/linux/novell-DXMLsaphrjco.rpm

      • Linux: Install the new novell-DXMLsaphrjco.rpm in your driver installation directory by running the following command in a terminal window:
      • Windows: Copy the SAPHRshim.jar file to your driver installation folder. For example, \NetIQ\IdentityManager\NDS\lib, if the driver is locally installed with the OpenText Identity Manager engine or \NetIQ\IDM\RemoteLoader\64bit\lib if the driver is installed with the Remote Loader.

  6. To update the driver files as a non-root user:
    1. Verify that non-root edirectory="" location=""/rpm directory exists and contains _db.* file.

      The _db.* file is created during a non-root installation of the OpenText Identity Manager engine. Absence of this file might indicate that OpenText Identity Manager is not properly installed. Reinstall Identity Manager to correctly place the file in the directory.

    2. To set the root directory to the location of non-root Identity Vault, enter the following command in the command prompt:

      ROOTDIR=<non-root eDirectory location>

      This will set the environmental variables to the directory where Identity Vault is installed as a non-root user.

    3. To install the driver files, enter the following command:

      For example, to install the SAP HR driver RPM, use this command:

      rpm --dbpath $ROOTDIR/rpm -Uvh --relocate=/usr=$ROOTDIR/opt/novell/eDirectory --relocate=/etc=$ROOTDIR/etc --relocate=/opt/novell/eDirectory=$ROOTDIR/opt/novell/eDirectory --relocate=/opt/novell/dirxml=$ROOTDIR/opt/novell/dirxml --relocate=/var=$ROOTDIR/var --badreloc --nodeps --replacefiles /home/user/novell-DXMLsaphrjco.rpm

      where /opt/novell/eDirectory is the location where non-root eDirectory is installed and /home/user/ is the home directory of the non-root user.

  7. If the driver is running locally, start the Identity Vault and the driver instance.

  8. If the driver is running with a Remote Loader instance, start the Remote Loader instance and the driver instance.
