Migrating the REST-based collector to a .NET Query collector

Since Omada Identity 14.0.6 (Update 6) all collectors based on the generic REST collector have their Collector ID migrated from REST to Omada ODW NET Query. For the existing REST-based template collectors the migration process is performed during the update process, and it is transparent to the users.

In case of the existing custom REST-based collectors, i.e., the customer created collectors with REST as a Collector ID, some additional actions need to be taken by the customer to migrate the REST-based collector to a .NET Query collector.

In order to switch your custom REST-based collector to .NET:

  1. Go to Setup > Administration > Connectivity > Collectors
  2. Select your custom REST-based collector and click Edit.
  3. Change the Collector ID to Omada ODW NET Query and click Apply.

In addition to the Collector ID, configuration changes must be added to the collector configuration file for the following configuration parameters:

  • assemblyLocation
  • assemblyName
  • assemblyNameGAC
  • assemblyFolder

These configuration details can be found in the generic REST collector configuration details.

info

Bear in mind the following relations of the configuration parameters:

If assemblyLocation==FILE then assemblyFolder + assemblyName needs to be filled; else, it can be left unset.

If assemblyLocation==GAC then assemblyNameGAC needs to be filled; else, it can be left unset.
