The updates discussed in this chapter are divided into the following categories:
These include updates made to the connector software.
Documentation-Specific Updates
These include major changes made to the connector documentation. These changes are not related to software updates.
The following sections discuss software updates:
The following are software updates in release 9.1.0:
Linking of Entries in Lookup Definitions with Corresponding Target System Installations
Support for the Multiple Trusted Source Reconciliation Feature of Oracle Identity Manager
Trusted Source Reconciliation Mode of the Connector Deprecated
From this release onward, the connector supports the Segregation of Duties (SoD) feature introduced in Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.2. Requests for SAP role and profile entitlements can be validated with SAP GRC. Entitlements are provisioned into SAP CUA only if the request passes the SoD validation process. This preventive simulation approach helps identify and correct potentially conflicting assignment of entitlements to a user, before the requested entitlements are granted to users.
See Section 1.4.1, "SoD Validation of Entitlement Requests" for more information.
In earlier releases, if you had multiple installations of the target system, then entries in a lookup definition were not linked with the target system installation from which the entries were copied. During a provisioning operation, you could not select lookup field values that were specific to the target system installation on which the provisioning operation was to be performed.
From this release onward, entries in lookup definitions are linked to the target system installation from which they are copied. See Section 1.5, "Lookup Definitions Used During Connector Operations" for more information.
The connector now supports the multiple trusted source reconciliation feature of Oracle Identity Manager. See Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide for detailed information about multiple trusted source reconciliation.
From this release onward:
The required SAP JCo version is 3.0.
The minimum certified release of Oracle Identity Manager is release 9.1.0.2.
AIX is one of the certified operating systems for the host computer on which Oracle Identity Manager is installed.
See Section 1.1, "Certified Components" for the complete listing of certified components. See the following Oracle Technology Network page for information about certified components of Oracle Identity Manager:

Note: The title of that section has been changed from "Certified Deployment Configurations" to "Certified Components." |
The reconciliation rule for target resource reconciliation have been modified. See Section 1.6.2, "Reconciliation Rules" for more information.
From this release onward, the trusted source reconciliation mode of the connector has been deprecated. All features related to this mode of the connector will be removed in a future release.
Major changes have been made in the structure of the guide. The objective of these changes is to synchronize the guide with the changes made to the connector and to improve the usability of information provided by the guide.
See Section 1.8, "Roadmap for Deploying and Using the Connector" for detailed information about the organization of content in this guide.
