Environment

Resolution

IGA 14.5:

Starting from Identity Governance 14.5, we do not bundle Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) with the product package. The PDI version (9.3.0) can now be downloaded from support

For information on how to download and configure a PDI to perform data transformations in your Identity Governance environment, follow these steps:

1. Download PDI version 9.3.0 from support.

2. Extract the downloaded PDI zip.

3. [Non-Virtual Appliance] Add the extracted data integration files at <Identity_Governance_Home>\data-integration. For example, C:\Program Files\CA\RCM\Server\data-integration.

4. [Virtual Appliance] Since Virtual Appliance has restricted permission access, you must perform the following steps:

         Add the extracted data integration files at /home/config/data-integration.

         Set the required permissions for files within the data integration folder.

               chmod 755 /home/config/data-integration

         Reset the PDI home to point to /home/config/data-integration in the Identity Governance Portal as follows:

               Navigate to Administration, System Checkup, PDI Checkup.

               Edit the PDI home directory to point to /home/config/data-integration.

               Click Save.

5. Verify the PDI application on the server.

Follow these steps to install PDI:
