Which statements are true regarding Designer? (Choose 2.)

Designer for Identity Manager is a client-side tool primarily used for the development, configuration, and deployment of Identity Manager solutions. It includes a powerful Simulator feature that allows developers to test policies and rule logic in an offline capacity, without needing a live connection to the Identity Vault or connected systems. Furthermore, a core function of Designer is to manage the lifecycle of a solution, which includes deploying the configured drivers and policies to different environments, such as development, testing, and production servers.

B. Designer is a configuration and deployment tool, not a comprehensive administration utility. Day-to-day administrative tasks on a live system, such as managing users, are performed with tools like iManager.

D. A fundamental feature of Designer is the ability to perform a "live import" of an existing Identity Manager configuration directly from the network (the Identity Vault) into a Designer project for modification or documentation.

1. Micro Focus Documentation: Designer for Identity Manager 4.8 Administration Guide.

For Answer A: Section 10.1, "Simulator," states, "The Simulator allows you to test your policies before you deploy them in a production environment. You can test policies without having Identity Manager and the drivers running." This confirms the offline testing capability.

For Answer C: Section 1.1, "Understanding Designer for Identity Manager," states, "Designer is a client-based tool for designing, customizing, testing, and documenting an Identity Manager solution. After you have created a solution, you can deploy it to one or more Identity Vaults." This confirms its role in deploying to various environments.

For Answer D: Section 4.1, "Importing an Existing Driver Set into a Project," explicitly details the procedure: "You can import an existing Identity Manager driver set and its objects from eDirectory into a project." This directly contradicts option D.

2. Micro Focus Documentation: Identity Manager 4.8.5 Administration Guide.

For Answer B: This guide details the use of iManager for administrative tasks. Chapter 7, "Administering Identity Manager," outlines tasks performed in iManager, such as viewing driver status and managing users, distinguishing its role from Designer's configuration-focused purpose. This clarifies that Designer cannot perform any task on the live system.
