Installing RBS

Role-Based Services (RBS) is installed using the iManager Configuration Wizard.

IMPORTANT:  Using RBS is optional, although we recommend setting it up for the optimal use of the iManager software.

To launch the iManager Configuration Wizard:

1. In iManager, click the Configure button .

2. Select RBS Configuration > Configure iManager.

3. Select one of the following available options:

   • Create a New Collection (iManager 2.x)

     Use this to create a new iManager 2.x Collection object. We recommend that you run this first before choosing the other options.

   • Migrate a Previous Collection

     Use this to migrate iManager 1.x collection information to iManager 2.0.x.

     IMPORTANT:  Before you migrate your 1.x RBS collection, you must install any 1.x modules you want to use in the 2.0.x container using the same names for the roles and tasks that you used in 1.x.

     Custom roles and custom property books can be migrated to iManager 2.0.x, but any custom tasks or custom pages that you created with the iManager 1.x Task Builder or iManager 1.x third-party plug-in cannot be migrated. You need to re-create them using iManager 2.0.x.

   • Migrate Previous Role Association

     Use this to migrate iManager 1.x role associations to iManager 2.0.x.

   • Upgrade Collection

     Use this to upgrade any Collection object that you have rights to.

4. After you've made your selection, click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

   Some tasks assign supervisor rights to the container specified in the scope for the user. To become familiar with such tasks, see Rights.

IMPORTANT:  Do not use Novell ConsoleOne^® to modify or delete any Role-Based Services (RBS) objects. RBS objects should only be managed using iManager.
