1 About the Connector

Oracle Identity Manager automates access rights management, security, and provisioning of IT resources. Oracle Identity Manager connectors are used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with third-party applications. The connector for SAP Employee Reconciliation is used to integrate Oracle Identity Manager with SAP Employee Reconciliation.

Note:

Oracle Identity Manager connectors were referred to as resource adapters prior to the acquisition of Thor Technologies by Oracle.

Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector

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

Enterprise Applications\SAP Enterprise Applications\SAP Employee Reconciliation

These files and directories are listed in the following table.

File in the Installation Media	Description
BAPI\xlhsapcar.sar	This file is extracted and the components are deployed on the SAP Employee Reconciliation server for the connector to work with SAP Employee Reconciliation.
lib\xliSAPHR.jar	This JAR file contains the class files that are required for 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\SAPHRResourceObject.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\SAPHRXLResourceObject.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:

Extract the contents of the xliSAPHR.jar file. For a connector that has been deployed, this file is in the following directory:
```
OIM_home\xellerate\JavaTasks
```
Open the manifest.mf file in a text editor. The manifest.mf file is one of the files bundled inside the xliSAPHR.jar file.

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