Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector

The files and directories that comprise this connector are compressed in the following directory on the installation media:

Enterprise Applications\SAP Enterprise Applications\SAP CUA

These files and directories are listed in the following table.

File in the Installation Media Directory Description
BAPI\xlsapcuacar.sar
This file is extracted and the components are deployed on the SAP CUA server for the connector to work with SAP CUA.
lib\xliSAPCUA.jar
This JAR file contains the class files that are required for provisioning and reconciliation.
Files in the resources directory Each of these resource bundle files contains language-specific information that is used by the connector.

Note: A resource bundle is a file containing localized versions of the text strings that are displayed on the user interface of Oracle Identity Manager. These text strings include GUI element labels and messages displayed on the Administrative and User Console.

Troubleshoot\TroubleShootingUtility.class
This utility is used to test connector functionality.
Troubleshoot\global.properties
This file is used to specify the parameters and settings required to connect to the target system by using the troubleshooting utility.
Troubleshoot\log.properties
This file is used to specify the log level and the directory in which the log file is to be created when you run the troubleshooting utility.
xml\SAPCUAResourceObject.xml
This XML file contains definitions for the following components of the connector:
  • IT resource type

  • Custom process form

  • Process task and adapters (along with their mappings)

  • Resource object

  • Provisioning process

  • Pre-populate rules

  • Reconciliation process

  • Lookup definitions

xml\SAPCUAXLResourceObject.xml
This XML file contains the configuration for the Xellerate User. You must import this file only if you plan to use the connector in trusted source reconciliation mode.

Note:

The files in the Troubleshoot directory are used only to run tests on the connector.

The "Step 2: Copying the Connector Files and External Code" section provides instructions to copy these files into the required directories.

Determining the Release Number of the Connector

To determine the release number of the connector that you have deployed:

  1. Extract the contents of the xliSAPCUA.jar file. For a connector that has been deployed, this file is in the following directory:

    OIM_home\xellerate\JavaTasks
    
    
  2. Open the manifest.mf file in a text editor. The manifest.mf file is one of the files bundled inside the xliSAPCUA.jar file.

    In the manifest.mf file, the release number of the connector is displayed as the value of the Version property.
