Default attributes included in the adapter are retrieved from the Standard BAPI's provided by SAP. Since Manager attribute is not available as a part of Standard BAPI, it is not available in the OOTB adapter.
However, any custom attribute derived using custom function can be included by customizing the adapter as described in XSL Stylesheets section under Configuring chapter. The custom function should be RFC enabled to execute it remotely using SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo) library. Important thing to note here is that the custom function should accept Employee ID (PERNR) as an input parameter and should provide related output.
Similarly, if the entry date and leaving date are different from the Standard BAPIs and custom function is used to derive the same, then new custom attributes should be created in adapter profile to map with the output from the custom function. OOTB adapter attribute mappings should not be changed. |
Multi Byte Character Support Limitations
All character data transferred between IBM Security Identity Manager Server, the adapter, and SAP ABAP server are encoded as UTF-8. The adapter supports provisioning of multi byte characters to and from a directly connected SAP ABAP Unicode server. Provisioning of ASCII characters is supported for Non-Unicode SAP ABAP servers. The adapter does not support provisioning of multi byte characters to any Non-Unicode ABAP server. Extended ASCII characters are not tested or supported for Non-Unicode SAP ABAP servers.
See the Installation Guide for IBM Security Verify Governance SAP HR adapter for detailed instructions.

Configuration Notes
The following configuration notes apply to this release:
Installation Platform
The IBM Security Verify Governance Adapter was built and tested on the following product versions.
Adapter Installation Platform:
Due to continuous Java security updates that may be applied to your ISVG or ISVGIM servers, the following SDI releases are the officially supported versions:
Note: Earlier SDI supported version may function properly, however, to resolve any communication errors, you must upgrade your SDI releases to the officially supported versions by the adapters
Managed Resource:
The following SAP ABAP Basis versions running anywhere on the network are supported:
SAP Release: - SAP Netweaver 740
Component version:-SAP ECC 6.0
SAP HR Fix Pack: - Fix pack 24
IBM Security Verify Governance Servers:
IBM Verify Identity Governance v11.0
IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager (v10.0.1 FP4 release or later)
IBM Security Verify Governance v10.0
* Unless this document specifies a specific fix pack version of ISVG Identity Manager v10, we expect the adapter to work with ISIM 6 as well. However, it will only be debugged and fixed from the perspective of ISVG-IM v10.
SAP JCo certified:
JCo 3.1.7
Note:
SAP HR Feed Adapter was tested and certified using JCo v3.1.7. SAP may have
released a newer version of JCo since then and for reasons unknown, SAP may not
make JCo v3.1.7 available for download. The newer version of JCo may work as is
with the adapter. However, if there are any issues related directly to
the newer version of JCo, it will be addressed in the next release of the
adapter. On Windows platforms, JCo 3.1 requires the Visual Studio 2013 C/C++
runtime libraries to be installed on the system. If not present, download and
install the "Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package" from the
Microsoft knowledge base article 4032938 and choose the package, which
corresponds to the used Locale and JVM bit-width (x64 for 64-bit or x86 for
32-bit).
