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.
Note:
This chapter describes life cycle management events that can be applied manually to Oracle Identity and Access Management products after they are installed, configured, and integrated together. This is not to be confused with the Life Cycle Management (LCM) Tools that automate the installation, configuration, patching, and upgrade of Oracle Identity and Access Management products. For more information about the LCM Tools, see the Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity and Access Management.Topics include:
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 host name 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 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.Lifecycle management events for Oracle Identity Manager include:
reassociation when the host or port changes for these components:
Oracle Virtual Directory
Oracle SOA Suite
MDS
moving metadata from a test environment to a production environment
