Hi

I am using TIM 5.0 and I am currently developing RMI adapters with ADT.
Every time I have to import a new version of my profile (service type) into TIM, I have to
  • delete the already existing TIM Service, which in turn deletes all respective Provisioning Policies
  • import the new version of the service type.

The problem here, is that with this way, I lose all of my Provisioning policies for this Service and then I need to re-create them.

Is there any other way, I should follow, so that I will not have to recreate the PPs?
I would appreciate any feedback
Thanks

I use the command line all the time until I do not realize that you have to delete the service or PP to update a profile via admin interface.
The command is remote_config_services -profile profilename -jar fullpathtojarfile

Who says you need to delete the service? You can update the adapter as many times as you like w/o any issues.

The caveats are:

1. You will need to restart the TDI RMI service (IBM Tivoli Adapter Service if your TDI server is a Windows box) to flush the assembly lines from TDI server cache before testing anything.
2. You may need to restart ITIM WAS App if you made changes to the custom attributes/forms
