Environment

Novell Identity Manager 3.0
Novell Identity Manager 3.5
Novell Identity Manager - Remote Loader
Novell Identity Manager Driver - Core Fan Out

Situation

When using the Fanout driver Configuration or Utilities plug-ins, the Remote Loader service will stop which will unload the ASAMCDRV process. This happens when running the Fanout Driver under the Remote Loader.

Resolution

In iManager, in the Driver Parameters, make sure the "Remote Loader Driver” parameter is set to true. This parameter is under Driver Settings; it is different than the "Connect to Remote Loader” option. If this parameter isn't set the remote loader process will abort sporadically with no core. If you are running a fanout driver from a version earlier than 311, the option may not exist. This will also cause the problem. In this case, a new fanout driver created from a new 311 fanout pre-config should be used. You may also copy the missing values from one driver to an older driver. However, the older driver should be at least from IDM 3.0.1 and the modified driver should be tested very carefully before putting into production.
