We have an enhancement open to assist with dev-ops and delta compare operation for Identity Portal business logic (forms,elements, plugins, localization, etc.). We would like to see a tool in IGA release 15.
https://community.broadcom.com/idea/enhancement-request-identity-portal-json-export-automated-pretty-json
Upvote if you think this would be useful to you.
Background: We can automate the backup of the Identity Manager component with the import/export tool provided in IAM suite tools, and have this script automated with crontab.
Challenge: We have attempted to identify a process with curl or other to do similar with Identity Portal. We have not been 100% successful.
Request: Provide client tool or API to allow automation of export of the Identity Portal business logic to a pretty json format. This will allow administrations teams to backup data on a daily basis, and allow delta compare operations using jq or similar tools. We are looking for dev-ops operations processes where we can export the Identity Portal objects into a git repository, to allow automation and promotion of the objects from dev to test env, then to near-prod environments with approval mechanisms.
### ###
Our current delta compare method is manual with MS Powershell to assist (with Notepad++ and WinMerge)
Export the full json file (txt) (aka json one-liner file)
Use powershell to convert to pretty-json (human readable and able to re-import) - and auto-open in Notepad++
