Working with Projects

Building and running a project is taking a very long time, and the Identity Manager IDE seems to be copying a lot of files. What could be causing this problem?

This problem can occur for the following reasons:

• You are using the Identity Manager IDE 7.0 or 7.1 plugin.

  Use the Identity Manager IDE 8.0 plugin. Several adjustments were made to the Identity Manager IDE 8.0 Configuration Build Environment (CBE) to improve performance.

• You might be using the Clean commands unnecessarily.

  When you use Clean Project or Clean And Build Project, the Identity Manager IDE deletes the entire image directory, which contains several thousand files. Identity Manager IDE must copy all of these files from idm-staging during the next build.

  To use the Identity Manager IDE efficiently, you must understand when to use the Clean commands. Refer to the “When to Use Clean” section in the Identity Manager IDE README.txt file for more information.

Now that I have created an Identity Manager project, what files should be checked into source control?

See the “CVS Best Practices” section in the Identity Manager IDE README.txt for information.
