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

Step 5: Configuring Reconciliation

This section discusses the following topics:

Adding Prerequisites for Reconciliation

This section describes the following steps involved in configuring the Oracle Identity Manager server:

Configuring System Properties

  1. Open the Oracle Identity Manager Design Console.

  2. Navigate to the System Configuration page.

  3. Add a new entry in the Server category:

    Name: Default date format

    Keyword: XL.DefaultDateFormat

    Value: MMM dd, yyyy 'at' hh:mm:ss z

  4. Click Save.

Configuring Trusted Source Reconciliation Oracle Identity Manager Entities

This procedure involves the following steps:

  1. Open the Resource Object form, and search for the Xellerate User. On the Object Reconciliation tab, add the required reconciliation fields. You must add the reconciliation fields that would be needed to provide input for mandatory fields in the Xellerate User form. For example, fields like User Login and First Name. Although the Password field is mandatory, you can ignore it. There must be mappings to all mandatory fields of the User Defined process form.

  2. Open the Process Definition form, and search for the Xellerate User. On the Reconciliation Field Mappings tab, add the required reconciliation field mappings. All the mandatory fields of the user defined process form should be mapped.

  3. Open the Reconciliation Rules form, and create a new rule for the Xellerate User resource object, with a rule element.

  4. After creating the rule, select the Active check box.

Defining Scheduled Tasks

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

  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, set 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 following table for information about the values to be specified.

    Attribute Name Description Sample Value
    Server Name of the IT Resource ClearTrustITResource
    Target System CT Recon - Resource Object name Name of the target system parent resource object ClearTrust
    Trusted Source Recon - Resource Object name Name of the Oracle Identity Manager resource object The default value is Xellerate User
    Paging Range Paging range to extract user accounts from the target system 10
    TrialRecNum In case the user does not want to do a complete scheduled reconciliation and quickly want to check connectivity with the target and reconcile few records to ensure that reconciliation with the relevant target is working, this parameter could be used. The number of records, to be reconciled (ONLY) could be mentioned here. 3
    UseReconFieldMap This attribute is for the Client Customize reconciliation activity. The Client Customize reconciliation is activated and the fields in the Attribute Name: CTReconciliationFields lookup are reconciled if this attribute is set to true. Otherwise, all the available fields are reconciled. True
    CTReconciliationFields This lookup definition stores the reconciliation fields data that is used in customized reconciliation. Lookup.CTReconciliation.FieldMap

    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 Step 5 through 10 to define the second scheduled task.

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.

To compile adapters by using the Adapter Manager form:

  1. Open the Adapter Manager form.

  2. To compile all the adapters that you have imported 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.

    Note:

    Click Compile Previously Failed to recompile only those adapters that were not compiled successfully. Such adapters do not have an OK compilation status.
  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.
