All customizations in Oracle Identity Manager are managed by using the following types of utilities:
Deployment and undeployment utilities: The following types of utilities can be used for deployment and undeployment purposes:
Database-specific utilities: These are utilities in Oracle Identity Manager that have the capability to take the input customization and insert it in the relevant database table. For example, the Plug-in Registration Utility takes the plugin pack and inserts it into the Plugin table in Oracle Identity Manager database. See "Developing Plug-ins" for information about the Plug-in Registration Utility.
SOA ANT- based utilities: There are some ANT-based utilities from SOA suite for deploying or undeploying a SOA composite or approval workflow. Refer to SOA documentation for information about SOA ANT- based utilities.
OPSS policy migration tool: This tool is used for migrating Oracle Identity Manager authorization OES policies that you have changed based on some advanced authorization customizations.
Oracle Enterprise manager: The Enterprise Manager (EM) is the Fusion Middleware diagnostic and monitoring application. Using EM, you can deploy or undeploy customizations in Meta Data Store (MDS) and SOA composites or approval workflows.
You can use EM to insert data in to the MDS. For example, you can use the EM to insert the LDAP synchronization user attribute mapping XML into MDS. See "Deploying and Undeploying Customizations" for information about exporting and importing metadata files to and from MDS.
IDE: Integrated Development Environment (IDE), such as Jdeveloper, provides ways to deploy SOA composites or approval workflows.
Test to Production utilities: This refer to the utilities used to migrate the customizations from an Oracle Identity Manager deployment to another. For example, you can customize Oracle Identity Manager in a test environment, and then migrate the customizations to the production environment. This is done by using the Deployment Manager utility, as described in "Migrating Configurations and Customizations".
Another example of Test to Production utility is the Sandbox, which is used to migrate UI customizations from one deployment to another. See "Managing Sandboxes" for information about the Sandbox.
Table 36-1 lists the Oracle Identity Manager artifacts that can be migrated via the deployment/undeployment and Test to Production utilities:
