IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator
When Administration and Monitoring Console for TDI 7.1 is used
to manage older versions of TDI (TDI), some functionality is limited.
- The concept of TDI Properties was changed in TDI 6.1. For this
reason, AMC does not support editing/viewing/management of properties
when working with a TDI 6.0 server. Also, the properties related triggers
and actions are unavailable when working with a remote TDI 6.0 server.
- The sendEventNotification API for sending events remotely
to a TDI Server was introduced in TDI 6.1. Therefore AMC does not
support sending of TDI events to remote TDI 6.0 servers. The Send
Event Notification Action (in Action Manager) windows are not available
when working with a TDI 6.0 server.
- The Tombstone Manager Feature was introduced in TDI 6.1. Hence
viewing of tombstones, and seeing the last run time/stop time of an
AssemblyLine is not possible for remote TDI 6.0 servers. In addition, the "View
Tombstones in chronological order" feature (and view last stop
time/run time) was added in TDI 7.1, by adding an API in Tombstone
Manager. Hence, this feature is available only in TDI 7.1.
- The remote config folder and the ability to view Configs in the
remote config folder was a feature introduced in TDI 6.1. For this
reason, in the "load-reload Configs" window, only those Configs
that are already loaded are shown on the remote TDI 6.0 server. A
Load operation is not available for TDI 6.0 servers. Only Stop and
Re-load operations are available for TDI version 6.0.
- The AssemblyLine Operation feature was introduced in TDI 6.1. Therefore
starting an AssemblyLine with AssemblyLine Operation is not supported for TDI 6.0 servers.
- You are able to Add a Solution View (minus properties), select
ALs to expose, select health AL, configure users, start or stop ALs, stop or reload Configs, create rules on ALs when working with a TDI
6.0 server.
- Custom Authentication (using LDAP or JavaScript™)
was introduced in TDI 6.1. AMC's add server window supports username
and password fields for this purpose. If a user attempts to pass username
and password to a TDI 6.0 server, AMC is not able to connect to the
remote TDI server. There is no way for AMC to find out that the remote
server is TDI 6.0, since it cannot connect with "incorrect" settings.
- Creation of Quick Solution View:
- Publish Solution: is enabled only for TDI server version 6.1.1
or later, and if there is actually a published solution defined for
the selected config instance.
- Create Solution View with All Assembly lines exposed: this feature
is available with TDI 6.0, 6.1 and 6.1.1 servers.
- Creates a Solution View with all AssemblyLines from the config
instance exposed, and all properties and no Health AssemblyLine defined. This
is similar to a quick start type of option. This option is disabled
for TDI 6.0 servers (because TDI properties are not available in
TDI 6.0 Servers)..
- In the View Tombstone window only the 30 most recent tombstones
entries are displayed.
