TAM Data Model.

Question & Answer


Question

How does TAM determine if the Standard or Minimal Data Model is being used when LDAP is used as the User Repository?

Answer

The version attribute on the secAuthorityInfo object determines the data model. The following search can be used to locate the object,


idsldapsearch -h ldap_host -D "cn=root" -w ***** -b "" -s sub objectclass=secAuthorityInfo
secAuthority=Default,ou=Sales,o=Company,c=us
objectclass=secAuthorityInfo
objectclass=eApplicationSystem
objectclass=eSystem
objectclass=cimLogicalElement
objectclass=cimManagedSystemElement
objectclass=cimManagedElement
objectclass=top
secAuthority=Default
version=6.0 ## This value determines the data model.
installDate=20090601225921.0Z

If the version is 1.0 or 3.0, then the Standard model is being used. If the version is 6.0, then the Minimal model is being used.

This attribute should not be manually changed directly in LDAP. TAM does not support running with mixed-model data objects. If the underlying data is not in the format indicated by the attribute, the environment will be severely broken.

An environment may be converted from Standard to Minimal using the amldif2v6 utility. Please see,

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=638&tcss=Newsletter&uid=swg24022749

for complete details of this process.

There is not a supported process to convert from Minimal to Standard model.
