By default, the Delimited Text driver files are installed on the Identity Manager server at the same time as the Identity Manager engine. The installation program extends the Identity Vault’s schema and installs both the driver shim and the driver configuration files. It does not create the driver in the Identity Vault (see Section 3.0, Creating a New Driver Object) or upgrade an existing driver’s configuration (see Section 4.0, Upgrading an Existing Driver).
Unless you extend the driver’s functionality along with the Java interfaces (see Section 8.0, Using Java Interfaces to Customize File Processing), the driver is only capable of reading input text files from the local file system of the server where the driver is running. This means that your input directory must be located on the same server as the driver. You have three options:
If your input directory can be located on the Identity Manager server and the Delimited Text driver files are already installed on the server, skip this section and continue with Section 3.0, Creating a New Driver Object.
If your input directory can be located on the Identity Manager server but the driver files are not already installed on the server, install the files by using the instructions in Considerations for Installing Identity Manager Components in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide for Linux or Planning to Install the Engine, Drivers, and Plug-ins in the NetIQ Identity Manager Setup Guide for Windows.
If your input directory cannot be located on the Identity Manager server, install the Remote Loader (required to run the driver on a non-Identity Manager server) and the driver files on the server where the input directory resides.
