Environment

Designer for Novell Identity Manager 2.0M4
Designer for Novell Identity Manager 2.0M5
Novell User Application 3.0.1
Novell Identity Manager 3.0.1
Novell eDirectory 8.8 for All Platforms
Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 for All Platforms


Situation

Only opening an Approval Flow Provisioning Request Definition (prd) from the Navigator View in the TextEditor and making a change will not mark the prd as being modified according to the deployer. The file will be marked as "modified" and require a save to proceed. However, the prd will not be able to deployed from the Designer to the eDirectory Server because the deployer will see the prd in the Designer as being equal to the one on the eDirectory Server.

Resolution

This is a bug with the current releases of the Designer for Novell Identity Manager. Development is taking this bug under consideration to be addressed in a future release of the Designer for Novell Identity Manager.

The workaround is to make a change to this same Approval Flow Provisioning Request Definition within the Provisioning Request Definition Editor. This will allow the deployer to see the prd in the Designer as not being equal to the one on the eDirectory Server. Which will allow the modified prd to be deployed.

This has been fixed in Designer 2.0.
