2 Deploying the Connector

Deploying the connector involves the following steps:

• Step 1: Verifying Deployment Requirements

• Step 2: Configuring the Target System

• Step 3: Copying the Connector Files and External Code

• Step 4: Importing the Connector XML File

• Step 5: Configuring Reconciliation

• Step 6: Compiling Adapters

Step 1: Verifying Deployment Requirements

The following table lists the deployment requirements for the connector.

Item	Requirement
Oracle Identity Manager	Oracle Identity Manager release 8.5.3 or later
Target systems	Oracle eBusiness User Management
External code	JDBC class library (classes12.jar) Refer to the "Step 3: Copying the Connector Files and External Code" section for information about the location of this file.

Step 2: Configuring the Target System

For this connector, you do not need to perform any configuration steps on the target system.

Step 3: Copying the Connector Files and External Code

The connector files to be copied and the directories to which you must copy them are given in the following table.

Note:

The directory paths given in the first column of this table correspond to the location of the connector files in the following ZIP file on the installation media:

Enterprise Applications\Oracle e-Business\Oracle e-Business User Management Rev 2.2.0.zip

Refer to "Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector" for more information about these files.

File in the Installation Media Directory	Destination Directory
xml\oracleAppsResAdp.xml	xellerate_home\xlclient
lib\JavaTask\xlHostAccess.jar	xellerate_home\xellerate\JavaTasks
lib\ScheduleTask\xlReconOracleApps.jar	xellerate_home\xellerate\ScheduleTask
lib\JavaTask\connect.properties	xellerate_home\xellerate\JavaTasks
OracleApps Scripts\connect.properties	xellerate_home\xellerate\JavaTasks
docs\B31127_01.pdf docs\html	xellerate_home\xellerate\docs

Copy the JDBC class library (classes12.jar) from the oracle_home\ora92\jdbc\lib\ directory to the xellerate_home\xellerate\ThirdParty directory.

In this directory path, oracle_home is the directory in which Oracle9i Database is installed. For example, C:\Oracle.

Add this file along with its path in the value of the CLASSPATH environment variable.

Step 4: Importing the Connector XML File

To import the connector XML file into Oracle Identity Manager:

1. Open the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console.

2. Click the Deployment Management link on the left navigation bar.

3. Click the Import link under Deployment Management. A dialog box for locating files is displayed.

4. Locate and open the OracleAppsResAdp.xml file, which is in the xellerate_home\xlclient directory. Details of this XML file are shown on the File Preview page.

5. Click Add File. The Substitutions page is displayed.

6. Click Next. The Confirmation page is displayed.

7. Click Next. The Provide IT Resource Instance Data page for the Oracle Apps Server IT resource is displayed.

8. Specify values for the parameters of the Oracle Apps Server IT resource. Refer to the table in the "Defining IT Resources" section for information about the values to be specified.

9. Click Next. The Provide IT Resource Instance Data page for a new instance of the ORACLE IT resource type is displayed.

10. Click Skip to specify that you do not want to define another IT resource. The Confirmation page is displayed.

    See Also:

    If you want to define another IT resource, then refer to Oracle Identity Manager Tools Reference Guide for instructions.

11. Click View Selections.

    The contents of the XML file are displayed on the Import page. You may see a cross-shaped icon along with some nodes. You must remove these nodes. To do this, right-click each such node and then select Remove.

12. Click Import. The connector XML file is imported into Oracle Identity Manager.

After you import the connector XML file, proceed to the "Step 5: Configuring Reconciliation" section.

Defining IT Resources

You must specify values for the Oracle Apps Server IT resource parameters listed in the following table.

Parameter Name	Parameter Description
Admin	User ID to connect to the Oracle eBusiness User Management database The default value is Apps.
AdminCredentials	Password of the administrator
Host	Host name or IP address of the Oracle eBusiness User Management server
IsDebug	Debug feature The value can be YES or NO. The default value is NO.
Port	TCP/IP port at which the Oracle eBusiness User Management server is listening. The default value is 1521.
SID	SID for the Oracle eBusiness User Management server
TimeStamp	Timestamp for the last reconciliation run The default value is None.

After you specify values for these IT resource parameters, go to Step 9 of the procedure to import connector XML files.

Note:

You must use the existing standard APPS User to connect to the Oracle eBusiness User Management database because only this user has the rights required to update the database.

Step 5: Configuring Reconciliation

Configuring reconciliation involves creating scheduled tasks for lookup fields and user reconciliations. To create these scheduled tasks:

1. Open the Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.

2. Expand the Xellerate Administration folder.

3. Select Task Scheduler.

4. Click Find. The details of the predefined scheduled tasks are displayed on two different tabs.

5. Enter a number in the Max Retries field. This number represents the number of times Oracle Identity Manager should attempt to complete the task before assigning the ERROR status to the task.

6. Ensure that the Disabled and Stop Execution check boxes are cleared.

7. In the Start region, double-click the Start Time field. From the date-time editor that is displayed, select the date and time at which you want the task to run.

8. In the Interval region, set the following schedule parameters:

   • To set the task to run on a recurring basis, select the Daily, Weekly, Recurring Intervals, Monthly, or Yearly option.

     If you select the Recurring Intervals option, then you must also specify the time interval at which you want the task to run on a recurring basis.

   • To set the task to run only once, select the Once option.

9. Provide values for the attributes of the scheduled task. Refer to the appropriate table in the "Specifying Values for the Scheduled Task Attributes"section for information about the values to be specified.

   See Also:

   Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide for information about adding and removing task attributes

10. Click Save. The scheduled task is created. The INACTIVE status is displayed in the Status field, because the task is not currently running. The task is run at the date and time that you set in Step 7.

11. Repeat Steps 5 through 10 to create the second scheduled task.

After you create both scheduled tasks, proceed to the "Step 6: Compiling Adapters" section.

Specifying Values for the Scheduled Task Attributes

This section provides information about the values to be specified for the following scheduled tasks:

• Lookup Fields Reconciliation Scheduled Task

• User Reconciliation Scheduled Task

Lookup Fields Reconciliation Scheduled Task

You must specify values for the following attributes of the lookup fields reconciliation scheduled task.

Attribute Name	Description	Default/Sample Value
Server	Name of the IT resource instance for Oracle eBusiness User Management	Oracle Apps Server
LookupField Name	Lookup field to be reconciled	Oracle.Responsibility.Name
IsDebug	Debug mode	YES or NO The default is NO.

After you specify values for these task attributes, go to Step 10 of the procedure to create scheduled tasks.

User Reconciliation Scheduled Task

You must specify values for the following attributes of the user reconciliation scheduled task.

Attribute Name	Description	Default/Sample Value
Target System	Name of the Resource object	OracleAppsServer
Server	Name of the IT resource instance for Oracle eBusiness User Management	Oracle Apps Server
IsTrusted	Specifies whether or not reconciliation is to be performed in trusted mode	Yes or No The default is Yes.
LinkKey	Key to decide the linking condition to link an APPS user to an employee	EMAIL or USERNAME

After you specify values for these task attributes, go to Step 10 of the procedure to create scheduled tasks.

Step 6: Compiling Adapters

The following adapters are imported into Oracle Identity Manager when you import the connector XML file. You must compile these adapters before you can use them to provision accounts on the target system.

• adpORACLEAPPSCREATEUSER

• adpORACLEAPPSLOCKUSER

• adpORACLEAPPSUNLOCKUSER

• adpORACLEAPPSRESETPASSWORD

• adpORACLEAPPSUPDATEUSER

• adpORACLEAPPSUPDATEUSERDATE

• adpORACLEAPPSENABLEUSER

• adpORACLEAPPSADDRESPONSIBILITY

• adpORACLEAPPSREMOVERESPONSIBILITY

• adpUPDATEORACLEAPPSLIFESPAN

• adpORACLEAPPSDISABLEUSER

To compile adapters by using the Adapter Manager form:

1. Open the Adapter Manager form.

2. To compile all the adapters that you import into the current database, select the Compile All option.

   To compile multiple (but not all) adapters, select the adapters you want to compile. Then, select the Compile Selected option.

3. Click Start. Oracle Identity Manager compiles the adapters that you specify.

To view detailed information about an adapter:

1. Highlight the adapter in the Adapter Manager form.

2. Double-click the row header of the adapter, or right-click the adapter.

3. Select Launch Adapter from the shortcut menu that is displayed. Details of the adapter are displayed.

Note:

To compile multiple adapters simultaneously, use the Adapter Manager form. To compile one adapter at a time, use the Adapter Factory form. Refer to Oracle Identity Manager Tools Reference Guide for information about how to use these forms.
