4 Creating a Provisioning Profile

This chapter describes how to create a provisioning profile using the Identity Management Provisioning Wizard.

This chapter contains the following sections:

4.1 Introduction to Creating a Provisioning Profile

Before you can perform provisioning, you must provide information about your topology to the Identity Management Provisioning Wizard. Once you have provided all the necessary input, the wizard will create a provisioning file called provisioning.rsp that you use to perform the provisioning operation.

Note:

Even if you select a single node install, the screens in the Identity Management Provisioning Wizard show multinode items such as Virtual Host Configuration and Load Balancer Configuration. Ignore the unused fields and click Next.

4.2 Creating a Provisioning Profile

Before running the provisioning tool, set the following environment variables:

To start the Identity Management Provisioning Wizard, execute the following commands from: IDMLCM_HOME/provisioning/bin, where IDMLCM_HOME is the place where you installed the Oracle Home Directory for Identity Management, using the installation script for the Identity Management Provisioning Wizard and Identity Management Patching Tools, as described in Section 2.6, "Installing the Identity Management Lifecycle Tools."

On Linux or UNIX, issue the command:

./idmProvisioningWizard.sh

On Windows, issue the command

idmProvisioningWizard.bat

When the wizard starts, proceed as described in the following sections:

4.2.1 Welcome Page

Use the Welcome Page to learn more about the wizard, including some prerequisites for using it.

The Welcome Page provides a brief overview of the wizard and lists some requirements that must be met.

4.2.2 Specify Inventory Directory

If you are presented with the Specify Inventory Directory page, proceed as described in Step 2 in Section 2.6, "Installing the Identity Management Lifecycle Tools."

Click OK to continue.

4.2.3 Identity Management Installation Options Page

Select Create a New Identity Management Environment Provisioning Response File if you are creating a response file for the first time.

Update an Existing Identity Management Environment Provisioning Response File is not supported.

Surrounding text describes specify_security.png.

Click Next to continue.

4.2.5 Product List Page

The Product List Page is purely informational. It displays the list of products that are installed and configured by the Identity Management Provisioning Wizard.

Surrounding text describes product_list.png.

Click Next to continue.

4.2.6 Response File Description Page

Specify descriptive information to identify this response file. This description is not associated in any way with the executable plan file, or the summary file, that you save at the end of the response file creation process.

  • Response File Name: The Identity Management Provisioning Wizard provides the default title Identity Management Provisioning Response File. You can change this.

  • Response File Version: The Identity Management Provisioning Wizard provides a default value, which you can change. You can use this to keep track of different file versions.

  • Created By: Defaults to the operating system user who invoked the Provisioning Wizard. Set when the response file is initially created and cannot be modified for the current response file.

  • Created Date: Defaults to the date that the response file was initially created. Set when the response file was initially created and cannot be modified for the current response file.

  • Response File Description: Provide a description of this response file. This is an optional field.

Click Next to continue.

4.2.7 Install Location Configuration Page

Use the Install Location Configuration Page to supply the location of the various directories required for installation and configuration actions.

Installation and Configuration

  • Software Repository Location: Specify the location of the software repository, either by typing it in the field or by clicking the Browse button, navigating to the desired location, and selecting it. This location must contain a folder named installers, which contains the software to install.

  • Software Installation Location: Specify the location on shared storage where you want the Middleware Homes to be placed, either by typing it in the field or by clicking the Browse button, navigating to the desired location, and selecting it. In a multinode scenario, this folder must be shared across all machines.

    Ensure that this directory path is 45 characters or fewer in length. A longer pathname can cause errors during Identity Management provisioning. See Section 7.2.2, "Null Error Occurs When WebLogic Patches Are Applied."

  • Shared Configuration Location: Specify the shared configuration location, either by typing it in the field or by clicking the Browse button, navigating to the desired location, and selecting it. (In a single host environment, the shared configuration location is not actually shared.)

  • Enable Local Configuration Location: Do not select this option, as it is not relevant when provisioning a single host environment.
