2.6 Starting the Driver

When a driver is created, it is stopped by default. To make the driver work, you must start the driver. Identity Manager is an event-driven system, so after the driver is started, it won’t do anything until an event occurs. You can use iManager or dxevent commands to start the driver.

To start the driver using Designer:

  1. In Designer, open your project.

  2. In the Modeler view, right-click the driver icon IGIM-driver-icon or the driver line, then select Live > Start Driver.

To start the driver using iManager:

  1. In iManager, click IGIM-driver-icon to display the Identity Manager Administration page.

  2. Click Identity Manager Overview.

  3. Browse to and select the driver set object that contains the driver you want to start.

  4. Click the driver set name to access the Driver Set Overview page.

  5. Click the upper right corner of the driver, then click Start driver.
