      Will MaxDB as database be supported? We neither want Windows (with SQL Server) nor do we want Oracle in our environment.

      Will DB2 Database as IDM backend be supported (instead of only MS SQL and Oracle)?

      Thanks for the answer!

      Hi Ferenc,
      currently, SAP NetWeaver IDM only supports Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle database.
      We are in the process of evaluating support for DB2, but have not reached a final decision.

      Kind regards
      Regine

      What improvements are planned for change / version control within the Identity Centre configuration.

      We are exploring the use of check-in and check-out for our jobs within the identity centre, however, repositories, identity stores and attributes, entry types and metadata such as role definitions are all subject to change without being able to see who changed them and when they were last changed within the MMC.
