This update is applicable for Oracle EBS UM, HR and TCA driver running Identity Manager 4.7.3 or 4.8.x. The driver version will be changed to 4.1.2.1 after the patch is applied.

• Identity Manager 4.7.3 and later
• Identity Manager 4.8.x

The driver upgrade process involves the following tasks:

• Updating the driver files

Updating the Driver Files

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


2. (Conditional) If the driver is running locally, stop the Identity Vault.


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


4. Download and unzip the contents of the IDM_OracleEBS_4121.zip file to a temporary location on your computer.


5. Perform the following steps based on your platform.

• For Identity Manager 4.7.3 upto 4.8.2 versions:

  • Linux:
  • Navigate to the extracted IDM_OracleEBS_4121.zip/Linux directory.
  • Install the novell-DXMLebsCommon.rpm, novell-DXMLebsUM.rpm, novell-DXMLebsHR.rpm and novell-DXMLebsTCA.rpm by running the following commands in a terminal window:

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

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

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

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

  • (Conditonal)If the driver is running on Remote Loader, perform the above steps on the machine where Remote Loader is installed.

  Important: You must ensure to replace the jetty-all-9.4.6.v20170531-uber.jar in /opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/dirxml/classes with jetty-all-9.4.34.v20201102-uber.jar extracted from the Common folder.

  • Windows:
  1. If the driver is installed locally:
  1. Navigate to the extracted IDM_OracleEBS_4121.zip/Windows folder.
  2. Copy and replace the EBSShim.jar, EBSUserShim.jar, EBSHRShim.jar and EBSTCAShim.jar files in the C:\NetIQ\IDM\NDS\lib folder.
  2. If the driver is installed with Remote Loader:
  1. Navigate to the extracted IDM_OracleEBS_4121.zip/Windows folder.
  2. Copy and replace the EBSShim.jar, EBSUserShim.jar, EBSHRShim.jar and EBSTCAShim.jar files in the C:\NetIQ\IDM\RemoteLoader\64bit\lib.

  Important: You must ensure to replace the jetty-all-9.4.6.v20170531-uber.jar in \NetIQ\IdentityManager\NDS (local installation) or \Novell\RemoteLoader\64bit (remote installation) with jetty-all-9.4.34.v20201102-uber.jar extracted from the Common folder.

• For Identity Manager 4.8.3 version:

  • Linux:
  • Navigate to the extracted IDM_OracleEBS_4121.zip/Linux directory.
  • Install the novell-DXMLebsCommon.rpm, novell-DXMLebsUM.rpm, novell-DXMLebsHR.rpm and novell-DXMLebsTCA.rpm by running the following commands in a terminal window:

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

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

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

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

  • (Conditonal)If the driver is running on Remote Loader, perform the above steps on the machine where Remote Loader is installed.
  
  
  • Windows:
  1. If the driver is installed locally:
  1. Navigate to the extracted IDM_OracleEBS_4121.zip/Windows folder.
  2. Copy and replace the EBSShim.jar, EBSUserShim.jar, EBSHRShim.jar and EBSTCAShim.jar files in the C:\NetIQ\IDM\NDS\lib folder.
  2. If the driver is installed with Remote Loader:
  1. Navigate to the extracted IDM_OracleEBS_4121.zip/Windows folder.
  2. Copy and replace the EBSShim.jar, EBSUserShim.jar, EBSHRShim.jar and EBSTCAShim.jar files in the C:\NetIQ\IDM\RemoteLoader\64bit\lib.
  
  
Important: You must ensure that all the released jar files have the required read, write, and execute permissions for the user.


6. (Conditional) 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 Identity Manager engine. Absence of this file might indicate that 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 UM 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-DXMLebsUM.rpm

Perform the above step for each driver 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. (Conditional) If the driver is running locally, start the Identity Vault and the driver instance.


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