3 Testing the Connector

After you deploy the connector, you must test it to ensure that it functions as expected. Tests that you can run on the connector can be divided into the following high-level categories:

• Provisioning testing: This type of test involves using Oracle Identity Manager to provision or de-provision one of its users or organizations with a target resource. In other words, Oracle Identity Manager is the starting point of the connector and the target resource is the end point.

• Reconciliation testing: This type of test involves using Oracle Identity Manager to reconcile with either a trusted source or a target resource. In other words, the trusted source or target resource is the starting point of the connector, and Oracle Identity Manager is the end point.

Note:

In earlier releases of this guide, the connector was referred to as the integration.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Running Test Cases

• Troubleshooting

Running Test Cases

You can use the troubleshooting utility to connect to the SAP server and to perform basic operations aimed at identifying the cause of problems. You can also use it to run test cases to test the connector functionality.

The SAP User Management_versionno\troubleshoot directory contains the troubleShoot.properties file. The troubleshooting utility uses this file to connect to the SAP server. This file contains the following information:

• SAP connection parameters: Server-related information.

• User information: Field information required to create, modify, update, and delete a user profile.

• Reconciliation information: The "From date" timestamp information is passed from this file. The "To date" is set to the current time.

• CLASSPATH information: List of files to be included in the CLASSPATH.

This file also contains commands to test the connector functionality. You need to make the place the contents of the troubleshoot directory in the installation media in a test directory, for example: C:\test\troubleshoot.

Next, set the following SAP server connection parameters in the troubleshooting.properties file:

sapClient=800
sapUser=xellerate
sapPassword=project
sapLanguage=EN
sapSystem=00
sapIP=172.20.70.206
sapType=R3
SAPsnc_mode=0
SAPsnc_myname=p:CN=win2003, OU=SAP, O=ORA, C=IN
SAPsnc_qop=3
SAPsnc_partnername=p:CN=I47, OU=SAP, O=ORA, C=IN 
SAPsnc_lib=C:\\usr\\sap\\sapcrypto.dll

In the log.properties file in the same directory, set the path for the log files in the following parameter:

log4j.appender.logfile.File=log_file_path

Note:

Ensure that all the JAR files associated with this connector are included in the CLASSPATH.

Creating a User

To test the connector for the creation of a user, specify the following information for a new user object in the troubleshooting.properties file.

userId=R37003
password=IKK123
dummyPassword=OERFYE
lockStatus=UnLock
userGroup=SUPER
lastName=kiran
firstName=inguva
userTitle=Mr.
langComm=E
department=IT
langLogIn=N
timeZone=AUSVIC
telephone=12345678
extension=1234
Fax=12345678
email=[e-mail]
dateFormat=1
decimalNotation=X
function=Function
roomNo=06
floor=1st
building=LBP
code=1
commType=FAX 
alias
startMenu=000
userType
dummyPwd=INITIAL
validityDate=
validityChange=
lockChange=
pUserGroup=

On the command line, use the following command to create a user:

java -DTproperties=connector_test_directory\troubleshoot\troubleShoot.properties -Dlog4j.configuration=file:\connector_test_directory\troubleshoot\log.properties TroubleShootingUtility C

Deleting a User

Delete an SAP R3 user as follows:

java -DTproperties=connector_test_directory\troubleshoot\troubleShoot.properties -Dlog4j.configuration=file:\connector_test_directory\troubleshoot\log.properties TroubleShootingUtility D

Modifying a User

Specify the following parameters in the troubleshooting.properties file to modify a user:

changeUserId=cuakk21
fieldName=
fieldValue=jane
bapiKey=ADDRESS
bapiKeyX=ADDRESSX

Use the following command to modify a user:

java -DTproperties=connector_test_directory\troubleshoot\troubleShoot.properties -Dlog4j.configuration=file:\connector_test_directory\troubleshoot\log.properties TroubleShootingUtility M

Testing Reconciliation

To test reconciliation, specify a timestamp for the From Date of the reconciliation run as shown:

fromDate=Apr 10, 2006 at 10:00:00 GMT+05:30

To test reconciliation from the timestamp specified to the current time, run the following command:

java -DTproperties=connector_test_directory\troubleShoot.properties -Dlog4j.configuration=file:\connector_test_directory\troubleshoot\log.properties TroubleShootingUtility R

Troubleshooting

The following table lists solutions to a commonly encountered problem associated with this connector.

Problem Description	Solution
Oracle Identity Manager cannot establish a connection to SAP. Returned Error Messages SAP.CONNECTION_ERROR	Ensure that the SAP server is up and running. Ensure that the IP Address of the SAP server is correct. Check that information in the IT Resource, such as the user name and password, are correct. Restart SAP server if nothing works.
