7 Managing IT Resources

In an application instance, IT resource management includes target connectivity configurations and connector configurations. Using the managing IT resources section, you can create an IT resource, search for existing IT resources, and view and modify IT resources.

See Managing Application Instances for information about application instances.

This chapter describes how to create and manage IT resources in the following sections:

7.1 Creating IT Resources

Oracle Identity Manager associate resource types with resource objects. Users need to create a new IT resource in order to associate this resource type with the corresponding resource object. Creation of IT resource includes steps such as selecting the IT resource type definition and providing parameter values.

To create an IT resource:

Note:

The IT resource type is created before the IT resource can be created. The IT resource type can be created either by using the Design Console, or by importing the IT resource type using the Deployment Manager. See IT Resources Type Definition Form in Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Governance for information about defining an IT resource type.

  1. Login to Oracle Identity System Administration.

  2. Under Provisioning Configuration, click IT Resource. The Manage IT Resources page is displayed.

  3. Click Create on the toolbar. The Create IT Resource wizard is displayed.

  4. Enter the following information:

    1. IT Resource Name: Enter a name for the IT resource.

    2. IT Resource Type: Select an IT resource type for the IT resource. The Parameter Values information is displayed.

    3. In the Parameter Values section, specify values for the parameters of the IT resource.

  5. Click Test Connection to check the connectivity.

    Note:

    By default, Test connectivity option is available for IT resource types Database and Mails server.

    If the test is successful, then click Finish. If the test fails, then you can perform one of the following steps:

    1. Check and make changes to the parameter values and then click Test Connection.

    2. Click Cancel to stop the procedure.

    3. Proceed with the creation process by clicking Finish. You can fix the problem later, and then rerun the connectivity test.
