9 Lifecycle Management

This chapter explains how to address situations where a lifecycle change event occurs for an Oracle Identity and Access Management component that is integrated with one or more components.

Topics include:

• How Lifecycle Events Impact Integrated Components

• LCM for Oracle Identity Manager

• LCM for Oracle Access Manager

• LCM for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager

• LCM for Oracle Identity Navigator

9.1 How Lifecycle Events Impact Integrated Components

Following are ways in which certain lifecycle events, sometimes referred to as rewiring, affect a component that is already integrated with others:

• Reassociation

  The hostname or port of an integrated component is reassociated. For example, the hostname of an OVD server changes.

• Test to Production

  When entities in a test or pilot environment are migrated into a pre-installed production environment, this can affect dependent components. For example, moving Oracle Identity Manager Navigator to a new production environment.

  Note:

  For some components, "rewiring" to achieve Test to Production is not feasible, and it is advisable to simply create a new production instance of the server. Oracle Identity Federation is an example of a server that is freshly installed in the production environment rather than changing the test configuration.

9.2 LCM for Oracle Identity Manager

9.4 LCM for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager

Lifecycle events for Oracle Adaptive Access Manager include reassociation when the host or port changes for the following components:

• Oracle Virtual Directory

• Oracle Internet Directory

• Oracle Database

• Oracle Identity Manager

Refer to the following sources for lifecycle management procedures relating to OAAM:

• "Adding a Component Link to the Product Launcher by Using Product Discovery" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Identity Navigator
