Displays a list of policies for a specified group.
Displays complete details about specified policies.
Oracle Identity Manager Password Expiration

Queries access rights for users that match specified query parameters.
Lists the number of users for each status within each resource.
Attestation Requests by Process

To run a report:
Expand the Reports link and click Operational Reports or Historical Reports.
The resulting screen displays a list of all the reports of that type that are available to the user. The reports are listed in a table with the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Report Name | Shows the unique name of the operational report, which is also a link to input parameters for that report |
| Report Code | Identifies a unique alpha numeric code for the report |
| Report Type | Identifies the report type to help administrators organize their reports |
| Description | Provides a short description of the report |
Select a report by clicking on its name.
The Report Input Parameters screen appears. This screen displays the input parameters that need to be provided to run a report. In some cases, at least one or more input parameter fields will be required fields. If this is not the case, you must populate at least one of the fields to run a report.
Enter the information required to identify what information the report contains.
Click the Submit button to run the report.
The Report Display page appears.
This page shows the report contents. Several display formats are available. The format information is included in the report metadata associated with each report. The display formats are:
Simple Table Format
Sectional Format
Sectional Format with Report Header
By default, only 50 records appear on each page. This limit can be changed in the properties file. If there are multiple pages, the First, Previous, Next, and Last navigation links at the top and bottom of the page are active.
You can use a filter to narrow the search criteria for a report. By default, three filters appear as a menu and a text field. Select the type of data from the menu, then enter a filter string in the text field. The asterisk (*) wildcard character can be used in the filter text box. An asterisk represents any number of characters. For example, S*t will match Slashdot and Sat. Filter criteria that represent lookup fields such as user status, employee type, and so on have boxes from which you can select values.
Filters narrow down the existing report, they do not generate a new report. For example, if the report is run with input parameter as [First Name=j*] (return all records where the first name starts with 'j'), and it is filtered again with [Last Name=Smith], this returns only records that have a first name starting with j and a last name of Smith.
For historical reports that include user status as a filtering parameter, the search is performed on historical data. For example, specifying a filter criteria of [User Status=Active] returns all users who were active at some point in the past, even if they are currently disabled.
After creating the filter and clicking the Filter button, the resulting report is displayed on the same Report Display Page. The filter menu and text boxes will reflect the filter values that were provided. The Clear button clears the filter fields.
The Change Input Parameters button returns you to the Input parameters page. The input parameter fields contain the information you already entered.
You can export all the report information as a single Comma Separated Values file, or CSV. Click the CSV Export button and at the prompt, choose to save the CSV file locally on your computer. By default, the name of the file is <report code>.csv.
The resource names and user IDs listed in the report may be links. Clicking these links opens a new Detail Page with more detailed information on that resource or user id.
Oracle Identity Manager supports the creation of reports using third-party tools such as Crystal Reports. You can use a third-party tool to create the operational reports listed in "Overview of Operational Reports" or the historical reports listed in "Overview of Historical Reports".
Note:
To learn how to create reports using third-party software, refer to the software documentation.
