IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence, Version 5.2.3.1

Managing custom files

View custom files and folders that are related to the IBM® Security Identity Governance and Intelligence virtual appliance.

About this task

Manage your files from the Custom File Management page in these ways:
  • Expand or collapse the directory structure to view the different files and folders, including the recently updated files.
  • Download or upload any type of file.
  • Create a folder for your requirements.
  • Restore a selected file to the default state.
Note: On primary nodes, you can view and manage files in the Connectors directory. On member nodes in a cluster, files in the Connectors directory can be viewed only. They must be managed through the command line interface. See Virtual appliance command-line interface commands.

Upload all the external libraries with the Custom File Management page. You must upload the libraries into the lib folder. To upload a library, see Table 1.

Your files are organized in a hierarchy of folders.
