IBM Security Identity Manager upgrade to Version 7.0.0.2 wipes off any custom changes in the Change Password Workflow operation

When you upgrade IBM Security Identity Manager to Version 7.0.0.2, it wipes off any custom changes in the Change Password Workflow operation of the Identity Administration Console.


Problem

When you run a previous version of IBM Security Identity Manager to upgrade to Version 7.0.0.2, the custom changes that you did in the Change Password operation are lost. The following steps result in losing the custom changes that you made in the default workflow for the Change Password operation:

  1. Do the initial steps to upgrade to IBM Security Identity Manager Version 7.0.0.2 from a previous version.

  2. Log on to the IBM Security Identity Manager virtual appliance.

  3. From the Appliance Dashboard of the virtual appliance console, go to the Quick Links widget.

  4. Click Identity Administration Console.

  5. Log on to ISIM Console.

  6. Go to Configure System > Manage Operations.

  7. Select Entity type level as the Operation Level.

  8. Select Account as the Entity type.

  9. Select the changePassword operation.
  10. Make some custom changes in the default workflow associated with the Change Password operation.
  11. Upgrade to Version 7.0.0.2.


Solution

Any custom changes that we do in the Change Password workflow operation must be merged manually after you upgrade IBM Security Identity Manager to Version 7.0.0.2.
