Hot Deployment – Install a New Connector without Restarting CA IAM Connector Server

CA IAM Connector Server (CA IAM Connector Server) is the new name for Java Connector Server (or Java CS or JCS).

CA IAM Connector Server now supports hot deployment. Hot deployment is the process of adding, removing or updating a component without restarting CA IAM Connector Server. You can now do the following tasks:

• Install, uninstall, or upgrade a connector without restarting CA IAM Connector Server

  You can deploy a new or updated connector and install it without restarting CA IAM Connector Server or logging in to its host. Contact CA Support for the latest connector versions.

• Deploy third-party libraries without restarting CA IAM Connector Server

  Some connectors require libraries that we cannot ship with CA IAM Connector Server. Previously, you would have to deploy these libraries and then restart CA IAM Connector Server. Now, you can deploy these libraries while the connector server is running.

  CA IAM Connector Server includes a core set of third-party libraries, and any connector can use any of these libraries. A connector can also include any other third-party library that it requires.

Note: Hot deployment does not work for C++ connectors.
