SAP IDM 8.0 - Task GUID - easiest way

[Former Member]

Hi IDM Experts!

Please excuse the stupid question, but I wanted to know if there was an easier way to get the GUID of a Task, besides directly looking within the Database?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Sandeep

Hello Sandeep,

I don't know about 8.0, but in 7.2 you could just right-click the task in the MMC and there you had the option of "Get task GUID", that would copy the GUID into the clipboard. Do you mean something like that?

Regards,

Steffi.

Thank you for the speedy reply Steffi! Yes, you're correct! I was hoping to see the exact same right click functionality in IDM 8.0, but surprisingly I didn't; or maybe I've simply missed where this functionality is buried within the new Eclipse interface.

Best regards,
Sandeep

Hmm, I haven't got my hands on a 8.0 installation yet, so I can't help you there, sorry. BUT I read that those GUIDs became even more important in IDM 8, so I can't imagine that there isn't a way to get those over the Eclipse UI somehow.

Yes, exactly! They're far more important in 8.0, and its strange that I haven't come across the standard / simple way to get the GUID of a task in Eclipse, yet.

Best regards,

Hello Sandeep,

in the Preferences Window you should be able to activate "Get GUID":

Now you should be able to rightclick on a process -> "Get GUID" -> GUID is copied to the clipboard.

Hi,

I was looking for this in IdM 8.0, I did not find any documentation by SAP.

I got the following information through a ticket:

"In eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> SAP Identity management

Global settings -> Enable task Guid (click this)
From here, you can go to what ever task and right click it to get the guid"

Works the same way as in MMC.

Hope this helps

Hello Sandeep,

You can also check the GUID in job log in SAP IDM 7.2 however I am not sure about SAP IDM 8.0
