A.2 Global Configuration Values

Global configuration values (GCVs) are values that can be used by the driver to control functionality. GCVs are defined on the driver or on the driver set. Driver set GCVs can be used by all drivers in the driver set. Driver GCVs can be used only by the driver on which they are defined.

The SAP Portal driver includes several predefined GCVs. You can also add your own if you need additional ones as you implement policies in the driver.

To access the driver’s GCVs in iManager:

  1. Click Driver icon to display the Identity Manager Administration page.

  2. Open the driver set that contains the driver whose properties you want to edit.

    1. In the Administration list, click Identity Manager Overview.

    2. If the driver set is not listed on the Driver Sets tab, use the Search In field to search for and display the driver set.

    3. Click the driver set to open the Driver Set Overview page.

    4. Click the GCVs page.

To access the driver’s GCVs in Designer:

  1. Open a project in the Modeler.

  2. Right-click the driver icon Driver icon or line, then select Properties > Global Configuration Values.

    or

    To add a GCV to the driver set, right-clickthe driver set icon Driver icon, then click Properties > GCVs.

The Global Configuration Values are divided into categories:
