iManager Configuration

Use this screen to set up Role-Based Services (RBS) in Novell® iManager 2.0.

For additional information, see "Using the RBS Configuration Wizard to Implement Role-Based Services" on the Novell Cool Solutions Web site.

There are four configuration options. Choose the one that best fits your circumstances. We recommend first creating a new iManager 2.x collection and installing the modules you want. Then migrate your iManager 1.x data to 2.x.

1. Create a new collection (iManager 2.x)

This option will create a new iManager 2.x Collection object. We recommend that you run this first before choosing the other options.

This option also allows you to install iManager plug-ins (sometimes called "modules") to the new Collection object you are creating.

2. Migrate a previous collection

This option will create both a new 2.x collection and migrate a previously created 1.x collection to the new 2.x collection.

IMPORTANT: Any custom tasks or custom pages that you created with the iManager 1.x Task Builder or iManager 1.x third-party plug-in will not be migrated. You will need to recreate them using iManager 2.0. Custom roles and custom property books will migrate to iManager 2.0. Also, any tasks from iManager 1.2.2 should be installed in 2.0 before migrating.

3. Migrate previous role association

This option will migrate previously created iManager 1.x role associations to a current iManager 2.0 collection. This option will not create a new 2.x collection.

4. Upgrade collection

This option will upgrade outdated 2.x plug-ins and also install any 2.x plug-ins that were not installed during the creation of the 2.x collection.
