The MIMWAL is a powerful solution accelerator for MIM / FIM that provides foundational activities which can be combined to create complex workflows to implement business processes within a MIM / FIM solution simply by configuration instead of coding for days and months
Yes, as long as the FIM 2010 R2 instance is at release level 4.1.3496 or higher.
The MIMWAL allows you to build complex FIM / MIM workflows quickly and consistently with little or no development work. A standardise way of building workflows not only speeds up development but also substantially decreases support / maintenance cost.
The MIMWAL is essentially open sourcing of FIMWAL project that has been used in the hundreds of MCS engagements worldwide since 2011. The initial release of FIMWAL got extensive update as FIMWAL "2" in Jun 2014 and the baseline check-in for MIMWAL is essentially the FIMWAL "2" version 2.15.1026.0.
The MIMWAL is published under the MIT License. See the MIMWAL project's License.txt for more information.
Developer support is primarily via MIMWAL Project TechNet forum community.
The concept and early development for the WAL began in 2010, and was developed and deployed in both a FIMWAL "1" version (2011) and a FIMWAL "2" version (2013) before the project was moved to GitHub in 2016, and renamed to MIMWAL.
Documentation, scenarios, examples, implementation as well as troubleshooting guidance can be found on the MIMWAL Wiki
MIMWAL can be used with Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) 2016 - 4.3.1935 and above.
MIMWAL can be used with Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 R2 - 4.1.3496 and above.
The project is deployed as Source Code on GitHub. You will need to download the source code and follow the Build and Deployment Wiki to compile the solution and sign the binaries with your own strong name (.SNK) signing Key.
MIMWAL supports in-place upgrade from FIMWAL "2". It retains the same assembly names and build and deployment procedures. The main visual changes post deployment are AIC's are prefixed with "WAL: " instead of "FIMWAL: " and the Event Log is called now renames as "WAL". (Note: The deployment of MIMWAL will delete the "FIMWAL" event log and create a new "WAL" event log.) See Deployment Wiki for more details.
Due to extensive enhancements, new capabilities and serious backward compatibility considerations, it was decided a side-by-side deployment with FIMWAL "2" was preferable approach to in-place upgrade of FIMWAL "1" to FIMWAL "2". If you are still on FIMWAL "1", manual migration of a FIMWAL "1" implementation is strongly advised to take advantage of new functional as well as diagnostic capabilities of MIMWAL to optimise your Workflows / MPRs and improve operational insight.
No, deploying MIMWAL is an in-place upgrade of FIMWAL "2" and your existing binaries and workflow definitions will be updated to use the MIMWAL versions. See the Build and Deployment Wiki for deployment guidance.
Yes, absolutely! But you should plan to replace existing workflows with MIMWAL versions to take advantage of new capabilities and other benefits of MIMWAL.
MIMWAL is build with .NET FrameWork 3.5 as this is the version supported by MIM / FIM for building custom workflow activities.
In order to extend the functionality of MIMWAL, please review the guidance on the Custom Activity Development Wiki entry.
