3 Testing the Connector

After you deploy the connector, you must test it to ensure that it functions as expected.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Running Test Cases

• Troubleshooting

Running Test Cases

This section discusses test cases that you can perform by using the troubleshooting utility.

You can use the troubleshooting utility to directly use the connector for identifying the cause of problems associated with connecting to the target system server and performing basic operations on the target system. The following are sample test cases that you can run by using the troubleshooting utility.

From the JavaTasks directory, in which the xlHostAccess.jar file is present, perform the following actions.

• Create an Oracle eBusiness User Management user. For information about the procedure to create users, enter the following command:

  java -jar xlHostAccess.jar Create user_name password confirm_password LifeSpanType lifespan_value start_date_yyyy-mm-dd end_date_yyyy-mm-dd e-mail_addr description
  
  

  Here the value of LifeSpanType can be either LifeSpanDays or LifeSpanAccesses.

• Update an Oracle eBusiness User Management user as follows:

  java -jar xlHostAccess.jar Update user_name fieldname new_fieldname_value
  
  

  Here, fieldname can be any one of the following:

  • Description

  • Email

  • EmployeeId

  • LifeSpanType

  • LifeSpanValue

  • StartDate

  • EndDate

• Reset the password of an Oracle eBusiness User Management user as follows:

  java -jar xlHostAccess.jar ResetPassword user_name newpassword confirm_newpassword
  
  

• Disable an Oracle eBusiness User Management user as follows:

  java -jar xlHostAccess.jar Disable user_name
  
  

• Enable an Oracle eBusiness User Management user as follows:

  java -jar xlHostAccess.jar Enable user_name
  

Troubleshooting

The following table lists solutions to some commonly encountered errors associated with the connector.

Problem Description	Solution
Oracle Identity Manager cannot establish a connection to the Oracle eBusiness User Management server.	Ensure that the Oracle eBusiness User Management server is running. Check if the user exists in Oracle eBusiness User Management. Ensure that Oracle Identity Manager is working. This means checking if the database is running. Ensure that all the adapters have been compiled. Examine the Oracle Identity Manager record (in the IT Resources form). Ensure that the IP address, admin ID, and admin password are correct.
Operation Failed Message is displayed on the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console	Ensure that the values for the attributes do not contain delimiter characters (white space). Ensure that the attribute values do not exceed the specified length.
