OIM Diagnostic Dashboard

Version: Oracle Identity Manager 11g R2
Description: This guide will show how to install the Oracle Identity Diagnostic Dashboard. The Oracle Identity Manager Diagnostic Dashboard is a standalone web application that allows you to validate your OIM installation and  configurations. Several validations include provisioning and reconciliation for some connectors , database connectivity, and target system SSL trust verification. Refer to "Working with the Diagnostic Dashboard" section in "Oracle® Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager" for more information.

Cloning a Connector

Version: Oracle Identity Manager 11g R2
Description: Oracle Identity Manager has a built-in utility that allows you to clone a connector. This utility generates an XML file containing all the artifacts of the initial state of a connector. If you've made modifications to a connector such as adding new reconciliation and process form fields, they will
not be included. After generating the XML, use the "Import Deployment Manager" to import the XML to your OIM instance. ODSEE/OUD/LDAPV3 Connector, which is part of OID-11.1.1.6.0 connector bundle, is used an example.

Side Notes:
There is a minor issue with the clone utility. The scheduled jobs of the cloned connector will override the scheduled jobs of the original connector. A work around is to modify the XML and change the value of the name attribute in each of the Job tag.

You may run into a case where importing the cloned connector fails. The "Import Deployment Manager" does not have rollbacks, which means changes are made even on failures. If you receive an error, you can re-import the XML since the  "Import Deployment Manager" overrides the existing changes (Process forms are the exception).
