# 7. Import/Deploy: What's New

(Home) Previous Next

## 1. Compare Driver Set and Driver Attributes

Two new live options are added to compare the attributes of a driver set or driver without having to compare all of the child objects. The option can be accessed from the Live context menu of a driver set or driver object as well as the main menu bar. Then click Driver Set Configuration > Compare Attributes.

## 2. Renaming Deployed Objects

A new feature in Designer tracks objects that have been deployed, then renamed in the Designer project. The renamed objects are displayed in the Deployment Summary dialog, as shown in the following image. Note that the Compare Status shows "Renamed" and the Designer and eDirectory DNs are displayed in the value fields.
During a deploy operation, the renamed Designer object is renamed in eDirectory. When performing a compare operation, the object can be reconciled to update either the Designer or eDirectory object name. Only objects renamed in Designer are tracked. If an object is renamed in eDirectory, Designer might not locate the associated eDirectory object when building the summary.

## 3. Deleting Deployed Objects

This release of Designer also tracks Designer objects that were deployed, then deleted from the Designer project. When deploying the parent of the object that was deleted, you are given the option to delete the object from eDirectory. To delete the object from eDirectory during the deployment, select the Delete the Identity Vault object check box.

Note: Designer removes the object from the deleted object list if the parent is deployed and the object is not marked for deletion. In the following example, a driver named CyclicDriver was deleted from the driver set.
The Summary dialog also provides a new filter for viewing only deleted objects, in addition to the existing filter that shows only the differences between Designer and eDirectory. Use the filter drop-down box that is centered at the top of the summary dialog to select the Summary filter. By default, the summary dialog shows only differences.
When performing a comparison operation, the summary dialog allows you to delete the object from eDirectory or re-import it into Designer. To delete the object from eDirectory, reconcile the object or parent object by updating eDirectory. Likewise, to re-import the object into Designer, reconcile the object or parent object by updating Designer. Only objects that are deleted in Designer are tracked. If an object is deleted in eDirectory, Designer shows the object as not deployed and creates a new object during the deployment or reconcile.
