Depending on the Oracle Identity Manager release you are using, perform instructions in one of the following sections:
Section 2.3.1.3.1, "Enabling Logging on Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.1.0.x"
Section 2.3.1.3.2, "Enabling Logging on Oracle Identity Manager Release 11.1.1"
Note:
In an Oracle Identity Manager cluster, perform this procedure on each node of the cluster. Then, restart each node.When you enable logging, Oracle Identity Manager automatically stores in a log file information about events that occur during the course of provisioning and reconciliation operations. To specify the type of event for which you want logging to take place, you can set the log level to one of the following:
ALL
This level enables logging for all events.
DEBUG
This level enables logging of information about fine-grained events that are useful for debugging.
INFO
This level enables logging of messages that highlight the progress of the application at a coarse-grained level.
WARN
This level enables logging of information about potentially harmful situations.
ERROR
This level enables logging of information about error events that might allow the application to continue running.
FATAL
This level enables logging of information about very severe error events that could cause the application to stop functioning.
OFF
This level disables logging for all events.
The file in which you set the log level depends on the application server that you use:
IBM WebSphere Application Server
To enable logging:
Add the following line in the OIM_HOME/xellerate/config/log.properties file:
log4j.logger.ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER=log_level
In this line, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set.
For example:
log4j.logger.ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER=INFO
After you enable logging, log information is written to the following file:
WEBSPHERE_HOME/AppServer/logs/SERVER_NAME/SystemOut.log
JBoss Application Server
To enable logging:
In the JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/log4j.xml file, add the following lines if they are not already present in the file:
<category name="ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER">
<priority value="log_level"/>
</category>
In the second XML code line, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set. For example:
<category name="ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER"> <priority value="INFO"/> </category>
After you enable logging, log information is written to the following file:
JBOSS_HOME/server/default/log/server.log
Oracle Application Server
To enable logging:
Add the following line in the OIM_HOME/xellerate/config/log.properties file:
log4j.logger.ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER=log_level
In this line, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set.
For example:
log4j.logger.ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER=INFO
After you enable logging, log information is written to the following file:
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/default_group~home~default_group~1.log
Oracle WebLogic Server
To enable logging:
Add the following line in the OIM_HOME/xellerate/config/log.properties file:
log4j.logger.ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER=log_level
In this line, replace log_level with the log level that you want to set.
For example:
log4j.logger.ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER=INFO
After you enable logging, log information is displayed on the server console.
Note:
In an Oracle Identity Manager cluster, perform this procedure on each node of the cluster. Then, restart each node.Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1 uses Oracle Java Diagnostic Logging (OJDL) for logging. OJDL is based on java.util.logger. To specify the type of event for which you want logging to take place, you can set the log level to one of the following:
SEVERE.intValue()+100
This level enables logging of information about fatal errors.
SEVERE
This level enables logging of information about errors that might allow Oracle Identity Manager to continue running.
WARNING
This level enables logging of information about potentially harmful situations.
INFO
This level enables logging of messages that highlight the progress of the application.
CONFIG
This level enables logging of information about fine-grained events that are useful for debugging.
FINE, FINER, FINEST
These levels enable logging of information about fine-grained events, where FINEST logs information about all events.
These log levels are mapped to ODL message type and level combinations as shown in Table 2-3.
Table 2-3 Log Levels and ODL Message Type:Level Combinations
| Log Level | ODL Message Type:Level |

Edit the logging.xml file as follows:
Add the following blocks in the file:
<log_handler name='racf-handler' level='[LOG_LEVEL]' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'> <property name='logreader:' value='off'/> <property name='path' value='[FILE_NAME]'/> <property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/> <property name='useThreadName' value='true'/> <property name='locale' value='en'/> <property name='maxFileSize' value='5242880'/> <property name='maxLogSize' value='52428800'/> <property name='encoding' value='UTF-8'/> </log_handler>
<logger name="ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER" level="[LOG_LEVEL]" useParentHandlers="false">
<handler name="sjsds-handler"/>
<handler name="console-handler"/>
</logger>
Replace both occurrences of [LOG_LEVEL] with the ODL message type and level combination that you require. Table 2-3 lists the supported message type and level combinations.
Similarly, replace [FILE_NAME] with the full path and name of the log file in which you want log messages to be recorded.
The following blocks show sample values for [LOG_LEVEL] and [FILE_NAME] :
<log_handler name='racf-handler' level='NOTIFICATION:1' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'> <property name='logreader:' value='off'/> <property name='path' value='F:\MyMachine\middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain1\servers\oim_server1\logs\oim_server1-diagnostic-1.log'/> <property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/> <property name='useThreadName' value='true'/> <property name='locale' value='en'/> <property name='maxFileSize' value='5242880'/> <property name='maxLogSize' value='52428800'/> <property name='encoding' value='UTF-8'/> </log_handler> <logger name="ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER" level="NOTIFICATION:1" useParentHandlers="false"> <handler name="racf-handler"/> <handler name="console-handler"/> </logger>
With these sample values, when you use Oracle Identity Manager, all messages generated for this connector that are of a log level equal to or higher than the NOTIFICATION:1 level are recorded in the specified file.
Save and close the file.
Set the following environment variable to redirect the server logs to a file:
For Microsoft Windows:
set WLS_REDIRECT_LOG=FILENAME
For UNIX:
export WLS_REDIRECT_LOG=FILENAME
Replace FILENAME with the location and name of the file to which you want to redirect the output.
Restart the application server.
Note:
In an Oracle Identity Manager cluster, perform this procedure on each node of the cluster. Then, restart each node.Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.2 uses Oracle Java Diagnostic Logging (OJDL) for logging. OJDL is based on java.util.logger. To specify the type of event for which you want logging to take place, you can set the log level to one of the following:
SEVERE.intValue()+100
This level enables logging of information about fatal errors.
SEVERE
This level enables logging of information about errors that might allow Oracle Identity Manager to continue running.
WARNING
This level enables logging of information about potentially harmful situations.
INFO
This level enables logging of messages that highlight the progress of the application.
CONFIG
This level enables logging of information about fine-grained events that are useful for debugging.
FINE, FINER, FINEST
These levels enable logging of information about fine-grained events, where FINEST logs information about all events.
These log levels are mapped to ODL message type and level combinations as shown in Table 2-3.
Table 2-4 Log Levels and ODL Message Type:Level Combinations
| Log Level | ODL Message Type:Level |
|---|---|
|
SEVERE.intValue()+100 |
INCIDENT_ERROR:1 |
|
SEVERE |
ERROR:1 |
|
WARNING |
WARNING:1 |
|
INFO |
NOTIFICATION:1 |
|
CONFIG |
NOTIFICATION:16 |
|
FINE |
TRACE:1 |
|
FINER |
TRACE:16 |
|
FINEST |
TRACE:32 |
The configuration file for OJDL is logging.xml, which is located at the following path:
DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/OIM_SERVER/logging.xml
Here, DOMAIN_HOME and OIM_SERVER are the domain name and server name specified during the installation of Oracle Identity Manager.
To enable logging in Oracle WebLogic Server:
Edit the logging.xml file as follows:
Add the following blocks in the file:
<log_handler name='racf-handler' level='[LOG_LEVEL]' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'> <property name='logreader:' value='off'/> <property name='path' value='[FILE_NAME]'/> <property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/> <property name='useThreadName' value='true'/> <property name='locale' value='en'/> <property name='maxFileSize' value='5242880'/> <property name='maxLogSize' value='52428800'/> <property name='encoding' value='UTF-8'/> </log_handler>
<logger name="ADAPTER.RACFADAPTERLOGGER" level="[LOG_LEVEL]" useParentHandlers="false">
<handler name="sjsds-handler"/>
<handler name="console-handler"/>
</logger>
Replace both occurrences of [LOG_LEVEL] with the ODL message type and level combination that you require. Table 2-3 lists the supported message type and level combinations.
Similarly, replace [FILE_NAME] with the full path and name of the log file in which you want log messages to be recorded.

Restart the application server.
While configuring the connector, the target system can be designated as a trusted source or target resource. If you designate the target system as a trusted source, then during a reconciliation run:
For each newly created user on the target system, an OIM User is created.
Updates made to each user on the target system are propagated to the corresponding OIM User.
If you designate the target system as a target resource, then during a reconciliation run:
For each account created on the target system, a resource is assigned to the corresponding OIM User.
Updates made to each account on the target system are propagated to the corresponding resource.
Note:
Skip this section if you do not want to designate the target system as a trusted source for reconciliation.To configure trusted source reconciliation, you import the RACFTrusted.xml file while performing the procedure described in Section 2.2.2.2, "Importing the Connector XML Files."
Configuring trusted source reconciliation involves the following steps:
Import the XML file for trusted source reconciliation, RACFTrusted.xml, by using the Deployment Manager. This section describes the procedure to import the XML file.
Note:
Only one target system can be designated as a trusted source. If you import the RACFTrusted.xml file while you have another trusted source configured, then both connector reconciliations would stop working.Set the value of the isTrusted scheduled task attribute to Yes while performing the procedure described in Section 3.3.4.1, "Submitjob User Reconciliation Scheduled Task."
To import the XML file for trusted source reconciliation:
Open the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console.
Depending on the Oracle Identity Manager release you are using, perform one of the following steps:
For Oracle Identity Manager release 9.0.1 through 9.0.3.x and 9.1.0.x:
Click the Deployment Management link on the left navigation bar.
Click the Import link under Deployment Management. A dialog box for opening files is displayed.

OIM_HOME/server/ConnectorDefaultDirectory/IBM_RACF_Std_90412/xml
Details of this XML file are shown on the File Preview page.
Click Add File. The Substitutions page is displayed.
Click Next. The Confirmation page is displayed.
Click Import.
In the message that is displayed, click Import to confirm that you want to import the XML file and then click OK.
Note:
Perform the procedure described in this section only if you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1 or Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.2 and you want to configure request-based provisioning.In request-based provisioning, an end user creates a request for a resource by using the Administrative and User Console. Administrators or other users can also create requests for a particular user. Requests for a particular resource on the resource can be viewed and approved by approvers designated in Oracle Identity Manager.
The following are features of request-based provisioning:
A user can be provisioned only one resource (account) on the target system.
Note:
Direct provisioning allows the provisioning of multiple target system accounts on the target system.Direct provisioning cannot be used if you enable request-based provisioning.
To configure request-based provisioning, perform the following procedures:
A request dataset is an XML file that specifies the information to be submitted by the requester during a provisioning operation. Predefined request datasets are shipped with this connector. These request datasets specify information about the default set of attributes for which the requester must submit information during a request-based provisioning operation. The following are the predefined request datasets available in the dataset directory on the installation media:
ProvisionResource_RACF Server.xml
ModifyProvisionedResource_RACF Server.xml
Copy these files from the installation media to any directory on the Oracle Identity Manager host computer. It is recommended that you create a directory structure as follows:
/custom/connector/RESOURCE_NAME
For example:
E:\MyDatasets\custom\connector\RACFStd
Note:
Until you complete the procedure to configure request-based provisioning, ensure that there are no other files or directories inside the parent directory in which you create the directory structure. In the preceding example, ensure that there are no other files or directories inside the E:\MyDatasets directory.The directory structure to which you copy the dataset files is the MDS location into which these files are imported after you run the Oracle Identity Manager MDS Import utility. The procedure to import dataset files is described in the next section.
Depending on your requirement, you can modify the file names of the request datasets. In addition, you can modify the information in the request datasets. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for information on modifying request datasets.
All request datasets must be imported into the metadata store (MDS), which can be done by using the Oracle Identity Manager MDS Import utility.
To import a request dataset definition into MDS:
Ensure that you have set the environment for running the MDS Import utility. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for detailed information about setting up the environment for MDS utilities.
Note:
While setting up the properties in the weblogic.properties file, ensure that the value of the metadata_from_loc property is the parent directory of the /custom/connector/RESOURCE_NAME directory. For example, while performing the procedure in Section 2.3.1.5.1, "Copying Predefined Request Datasets," if you copy the files to the E:\MyDatasets\custom\connector\RACFStd directory, then set the value of the metada_from_loc property toE:\MyDatasets.In a command window, change to the OIM_HOME\server\bin directory.
Run one of the following commands:
On Microsoft Windows
weblogicImportMetadata.bat
On UNIX
weblogicImportMetadata.sh
When prompted, enter the following values:
Please enter your username [weblogic]
Enter the username used to log in to the WebLogic server
Sample value: WL_User
Please enter your password [weblogic]
Enter the password used to log in to the WebLogic server.
Please enter your server URL [t3://localhost:7001]
Enter the URL of the application server in the following format:
t3://HOST_NAME_IP_ADDRESS:PORT
In this format, replace:
HOST_NAME_IP_ADDRESS with the host name or IP address of the computer on which Oracle Identity Manager is installed.
PORT with the port on which Oracle Identity Manager is listening.
The request dataset is imported into MDS at the following location:
/custom/connector/RESOURCE_NAME
To enable the Auto Save Form feature:
Log in to the Design Console.
Expand Process Management, and then double-click Process Definition.
Search for and open the RACF User process definition.
Select the Auto Save Form check box.
Click the Save icon.
Run the PurgeCache utility to clear content belonging to the Metadata category from the server cache. See Section 2.3.1.2, "Clearing Content Related to Connector Resource Bundles from the Server Cache" for instructions.
The procedure to configure request-based provisioning ends with this step.
Note:
This is an optional step of the deployment procedure.The CustomizedCAs.p12 file is the container for server certificates used for establishing an SSL connection. This file is compressed in the CustomizedCAs.jar file. The password for the CustomizedCAs.p12 file is hod. If the IBM Mainframe server has a certificate signed by a CA other than Verisign or Thawte, the root certificate of the CA must be added to the CustomizedCAs.p12 file for establishing the SSL connection.
The certificate can be added to the CustomizedCAs.p12 file by using a key management utility that supports PKCS12 format files. One of the tools that can be used to add the certificate is GSKkit7.0. This tool is part of IBM Host On-demand Server version 9.0.
To set up SSL connectivity between Oracle Identity Manager and the IBM Mainframe server:
Set the IsSecure parameter of the IT resource to YES.
Configure the target system to enable the required port for SSL connection.
If the certificate is issued by Thawte or any other well-known CA, then copy the WellKnownTrustedCertificatesCAs.jar file into the following directory:
For Oracle Identity Manager release 9.0.1 through 9.0.3.x and 9.1.0.x:
OIM_HOME/xellerate/lib/ThirdParty
For Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.1:
OIM_HOME/server/lib/ThirdParty
For Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.2:
OIM_HOME/server/lib/ThirdParty
Import the certificate in the CustomizedCAs.p12 file as follows:
Extract the contents of the CustomizedCAs.jar file. This file is in the directory specified in Step 3.
Add the SSL certificate in the CustomizedCAs.p12 file.
Create the CustomizedCAs.jar file with the updated CustomizedCAs.p12 and CustomizedCAs.class files.
Copy the updated JAR file into the directory specified in Step 3, depending on the Oracle Identity Manager release that you are using.
Postinstallation on the target system consists of the following steps:
Note down the Telnet and SSL port numbers specified in the TCP/IP profile file. When you configure the IT resource, you must provide these port numbers as part of the IT resource definition.
Using FTP, upload the members (scripts) from the OIM_HOME/xellerate/RACFScripts directory to a partitioned dataset with record length 80 and record format Fixed Block.
Upload the following file as a flat file or Physical Sequential (PS) file with record length 80 and record format Fixed Block.
OIM_HOME/xellerate/RACFScripts/SYSTMDAT
You must provide the following information in the SYSTMDAT file:
Name of the IBM RACF database dataset
Job header, which forms a part of the background job
You must ensure that the job header contains the NOTIFY parameter in the following format:
NOTIFY=&SYSUID
Name of the RACF source dataset containing the RACF scripts that you upload to a partitioned dataset on the IBM RACF server (in Step 2 of this procedure).
Region size and dynamic resource allocation values
Names of 10 temporary PS files that can be created and deleted by the connector
