1. Export and Import of Localization Strings for the User Application
The Provisioning view now gives users the ability to export
and import localization strings for a User Application. By selecting the User
Application or any of its children in the Provisioning view, users enable the
right-mouse menu options to Localize > Export Localization Data and Localize
> Import Localization Files.
The Export Localization Data option allows users to extract all display label
strings from the selected User Application object and its children and store
them as unique key and value items in an XML or .properties file. A separate
file is created for each of the locales they want to support. These files can
easily be sent off to a translation service that can then fill the display label
value fields with the translated strings for those locales.
The Import Localization Files option allows users to import
the display label values provided by their translation service into the User
Application objects. Users have the option to back up their existing display
labels in the User Application before it is overwritten with any new labels.
This allows users to revert their changes if any of the new display labels are
not to their satisfaction.
2. Supported Locales for User Application Configuration
In Identity Manager 3.5, the supported locales for the User
Application are stored in the User Application driver. Thus it is longer be
possible to edit the supported locales in the Preferences pages in Designer.
Furthermore, because Identity Manager 3.0.1 doesn't support self-localization
of the User Application, a read-only list of locales is used for 3.0.1 User
Application drivers.
3. Support for IDM 3.0.1 and IDM 3.5 User Application Drivers
The Provisioning view, the Provisioning Request Definition
editor, and the Directory Abstraction Layer editor now all support both Identity
Manager 3.0.1 and Identity Manager 3.5 User Application configurations.
The Identity Manager 3.5 User Application driver configuration file is available
only if the associated server is using Identity Manager version 3.5.
4. Migration of Identity Manager 3 or 3.0.1 User Application Configuration
to Identity Manager 3.5
The Provisioning view makes it possible to migrate a User
Application configuration from Identity Manager 3 or 3.0.1 to Identity Manager
3.5. The migration handles the Directory Abstraction Layer and Provisioning
Request Definitions as well as the runtime configuration objects. The runtime
configuration objects are objects used by the User Application (and stored in
the Identity Vault) but not editable through Designer. This include objects
such as themes and cache configuration.
If the User Application configuration can be migrated, the Provisioning view's
right-mouse menu contains a Migrate item when activated on a User Application.
After the migration, the following dialog box appears:
The dialog box shows all the migrated objects, along with any errors, warnings
or messages that occurred during the migration. It's possible to undo the migration
(for example, if errors occurred). Furthermore, you can specify whether the
migrated configuration should be deployed. Note that it's not possible to deploy
parts of a migrated configuration. Only the entire configuration can be deployed.
Similarly, it's not possible to import into a migrated configuration.
You can save a summary of the migrated User Application configuration
by clicking the save icon in the top left corner.
5. Deployment to pre-Identity Manager 3.5 Identity Vault Prevented (Identity
Manager 3.5 Only)
When deploying an Identity Manager 3.5 User Application driver,
configuration or objects, the Provisioning view first checks parts of the schema
in the Identity Vault to ensure that the schema has been updated with the changes
required for Identity Manager 3.5. It is not possible to deploy an Identity
Manager 3.5 User Application configuration to an Identity Manager 3.0.1 Identity
Vault or to any vault that doesn't contain the required schema changes.
6. Support for Directory Abstraction Layer Queries (Identity Manager 3.5 Only)
The Provisioning view now displays Directory Abstraction Layer
Queries if the User Application driver has Identity Manager 3.5.
