Concept & documentation: Global constants in IDM 8.0 |
After upgrading to SAP Identity Management 8.0, global constants are transformed into package constants and are located in the default package. |

Concept & documentation: Obsoletion of jobs, tasks and scripts |
When a new version of a package is imported, jobs and tasks running at the time of the import, as well as those scheduled for processing in the provisioning queue before the package import, become obsolete. The same applies for scripts that are called from jobs and tasks. |
For more information see Obsoletion. |
Concept & Documentation: No repository context for tasks anymore through UI |
In SAP Identity Management 8.0, it is no longer possible to select a repository for an action task. However, an option to remove or keep a repository for an action task after upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0 has been implemented and documented. |
For more information, see General (Action Task) |
Concept & Documentation: Repository type constants |
A repository type defines common parameters (constants) for all repositories of the given repository type. This brings advantages to the repository configuration process. |
