IdM 11G!

It has been awhile since I've posted, but we are up to some exciting things here and I want to use this platform to provide some information, lessons learned, and other information as we begin our work toward a full upgrade/re-implementation of the IDM/IAM 11g Stack.

We have decided rather than try to upgrade to the 11g versions, we are going to take this opportunity to use all of the information and things we have learned over our 10g setups to re-implement on 11g. This will give us many benefits, not the least of which is parallelism, ability to gradually phase in new versions, new hardware/OS/database setups. As well as the many things we have learned how to do better, things we thought we would use and never did, overly complicated groups and attributes, etc.

Additional as we are replacing our main ERP system as a parallel project, this will give us the opportunity to have our OIM11g installation uncluttered with old, unused connectors and interfaces.

We have started installing our development environment and the installation is fairly straight forward.

Stay tuned!

Well, in fact, you don't have the choice. This version of OIM 11g does not offer any upgrade path from a previous version. For this, we have to wait for patchset 1 which will offer a migration path from any (?) 9.1.x version.

We suspected it might be awhile before an upgrade path would be available, saw the same thing when 9.1 came out. It works out better for us in any case as it forces us to clean house so to speak.
