Deploying the connector involves the following steps:
If you want to configure the connector for multiple installations of Oracle e-Business Employee Reconciliation, then perform the following procedure:
The following table lists the deployment requirements for the connector.
Item | Requirement |
---|---|
Oracle Identity Manager | Oracle Identity Manager release 8.5.3 or later |
Target system | Oracle e-Business Suite 11.5.10 |
External code | JDBC class library (classes12.jar ) |
Target system user account | APPS user with full privileges
You provide the credentials of this user account while performing the procedure in the "Defining IT Resources" section. |
For this connector, you do not need to perform any configuration steps on the target system.
The connector files to be copied and the directories to which you must copy them are given in the following table.
Note:
The directory paths given in the first column of this table correspond to the location of the connector files in the following directory on the installation media:Enterprise Applications\Oracle e-Business\Oracle e-Business Employee Reconciliation
Refer to the "Files and Directories That Comprise the Connector" section for more information about these files.
Copy the JDBC class library (classes12.jar
) from the oracle_home
\ora92\jdbc\lib\classes12.jar
directory to the OIM_home
\xellerate\ThirdParty
directory. Here, oracle_home
is the directory in which Oracle9i Database is installed. For example, C:\Oracle.
Note:
While installing Oracle Identity Manager in a clustered environment, you copy the contents of the installation directory to each node of the cluster. Similarly, you must copy theconnectorResources
directory and the JAR files to the corresponding directories on each node of the cluster.Configuring the Oracle Identity Manager server involves the following procedures:
Note:
In a clustered environment, you must perform this step on each node of the cluster. Then, restart each node.Changing to the required input locale (language and country setting) involves installing the required fonts and setting the required input locale.
To set the required input locale:
Note:
Depending on the operating system used, you may need to perform this procedure differently.Open Control Panel.
Double-click Regional Options.
On the Input Locales tab of the Regional Options dialog box, add the input locale that you want to use and then switch to the input locale.
Whenever you add a new resource bundle in the OIM_home
\xellerate\connectorResources
directory or make a change in an existing resource bundle, you must clear content related to connector resource bundles from the server cache.
To clear content related to connector resource bundles from the server cache:
In a command window, change to the OIM_home
\xellerate\bin
directory.
Enter one of the following commands:
Note:
You must perform Step 1 before you perform this step. If you run the command as follows, then an exception is thrown:OIM_home\xellerate\bin\batch_file_name
On Microsoft Windows:
PurgeCache.bat ConnectorResourceBundle
On UNIX:
PurgeCache.sh ConnectorResourceBundle
In this command, ConnectorResourceBundle
is one of the content categories that you can remove from the server cache. Refer to the following file for information about the other content categories:
OIM_home\xellerate\config\xlConfig.xml
Note:
You can ignore the exception that is thrown when you perform Step 2.To import the connector XML file:
Open the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console.
Click the Deployment Management link on the left navigation bar.
Click the Import link under Deployment Management. A dialog box for locating files is displayed.

After you specify values for the IT resource parameter, proceed to Step 9 of the procedure to import connector XML files.
Note:
You must use the existing standard APPS User for connecting to the Oracle e-Business Employee Reconciliation database because only this user has the rights required to update the database.Configuring reconciliation involves the following steps:
See Also:
Oracle Identity Manager Connector Framework Guide for conceptual information about reconciliation configurationsYou do not need to perform any procedure to configure trusted source reconciliation. This target system is configured as a trusted source when you import the connector XML file.
To create the scheduled tasks for lookup fields and user reconciliations:
Expand the Xellerate Administration folder.
Select Task Scheduler.
Click Find. The details of the predefined scheduled tasks are displayed on two different tabs.
For the first scheduled task, enter a number in the Max Retries field. This number represents the number of times Oracle Identity Manager must attempt to complete the task before assigning the ERROR
status to the task.
Ensure that the Disabled and Stop Execution check boxes are not selected.
In the Start region, double-click the Start Time field. From the date-time editor that is displayed, select the date and time at which you want the task to run.
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.
Provide values for the attributes of the scheduled task. Refer to the "Specifying Values for the Scheduled Task Attributes" section for information about the values to be specified.
See Also:
Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide for information about adding and removing task attributesClick 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.
Repeat Steps 5 through 10 to create the second scheduled task.
After you create the scheduled tasks, proceed to the "Configuring the Connector for Multiple Installations of the Target System" section.
This section provides information about the values to be specified for the following scheduled tasks:
You must specify values for the following attributes of the lookup fields reconciliation scheduled task.
Note:
Attribute values are predefined in the connector XML file that you import. Specify values only for those attributes that you want to change.After you specify values for these task attributes, proceed to Step 10 of the procedure to create scheduled tasks.
You must specify values for the following attributes of the employee reconciliation scheduled task.
Note:
Attribute values are predefined in the connector XML file that you import. Specify values only for those attributes that you want to change.Attribute | Description | Default/Sample Value |
---|---|---|
Target System Recon - Resource Object name |
Name of the resource object | Oracle HR Employee |
Server |
IT resource instance that the connector uses to reconcile data | Oracle HR |
IsTrusted |
Specifies whether or not reconciliation must be performed in trusted mode | YES or NO |
After you specify values for these task attributes, proceed to Step 10 of the procedure to create scheduled tasks.
Note:
Perform this procedure only if you want to configure the connector for multiple installations of Oracle e-Business Employee Reconciliation. Refer to Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide for detailed instructions on performing each step of this procedure.To configure the connector for multiple installations of the target system:
Create and configure one resource object for each target system installation.
The Resource Objects form is in the Resource Management folder. The Oracle HR Employee
resource object is created when you import the connector XML file. You can use this resource object as the template for creating the remaining resource objects.
Create and configure one IT resource for each resource object.
The IT Resources form is in the Resource Management folder. The Oracle HR
IT resource is created when you import the connector XML file. You can use this IT resource as the template for creating the remaining IT resources, of the same resource type.
Design one process form for each resource object.
The Form Designer form is in the Development Tools folder. The UD_ORAHR_EM
process form is created when you import the connector XML file.
You can use this process form as a template for creating the remaining process forms.
Create and configure one process definition for each resource object.
The Process Definition form is in the Process Management folder. The Oracle HR Employee
process definition is created when you import the connector XML file. You can use this process definition as the template for creating the remaining process definitions.
While creating process definitions for each target system installation, the following steps that you must perform are specific to the creation of each process definition:
From the Object Name lookup field, select the resource object that you create in Step 1.
From the Table Name lookup field, select the process form that you create in Step 3.
Configure reconciliation for each target system installation. Refer to the "Step 6: Configuring Reconciliation" section for instructions. Note that only the values of the following attributes are to be changed for each reconciliation scheduled task:
Target System Recon - Resource Object name
Server
IsTrusted
Set the IsTrusted
attribute to YES
for the Oracle e-Business Employee Reconciliation installation that you want to designate as a trusted source. You can designate either a single or multiple installations of Oracle e-Business Employee Reconciliation as the trusted source. For the remaining Oracle e-Business Employee Reconciliation installations, set this attribute to NO
.
If required, modify the fields to be reconciled for the Xellerate User resource object.
