The following table lists issues resolved in release 9.0.4.2:
| Bug Number | Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 5664763 | While provisioning a mailbox to an OIM User, the values in the Visibility list on the process form were displayed in English when a non-English locale was selected for the Oracle Identity Manager deployment. | This issue has been resolved. For non-English locales, the values in the Visibility list on the process form are now being displayed in the respective locales instead of English. |
| 5688673 | While creating access policies in the Administrative and User Console, the values of the Participating Type list on the Create Access Policy page were displayed in English even when a non-English locale was selected for the Oracle Identity Manager deployment. | This issue has been resolved. The values of the Participation Type list are now being displayed in the respective locales instead of English. |
| 7623037 | Suppose an access policy for provisioning a mailbox to an OIM User was created.
During the Create Mailbox provisioning operation for a large number of users, the Remote Manager stopped functioning as the native code for running this provisioning operation was not thread safe. |
This issue has been resolved. The Remote Manager continues to function when mailboxes are simultaneously provisioned to multiple users that meet the criterion specified in the access policy. This is because, the native code has now been made thread safe. |
| 8451826 | After a user reconciliation run, the user's distribution list membership information was not displayed on the distribution child form of the target system user's process form. | This issue has been resolved. After a user reconciliation run, the user's membership information is now being displayed. |
| 8509388 | When the Novell eDirectory and Novell GroupWise resources were provisioned to an OIM User, and the user and the corresponding mailbox were deleted from Novell eDirectory and Novell Groupwise respectively, the GW_USER_DOES_NOT_EXIST error message was displayed during a Move Post Office provisioning operation with Unknown response received as the detailed error message. |
This issue has been resolved. If you perform a Move Post Office provisioning operation after you delete a user from Novell eDirectory and the corresponding mailbox from Novell GroupWise, then the Move PostOffice task displays the following error message:
|
| 8521041 | After a target resource reconciliation run, the Visibility list of the process form was blank. | This issue has been resolved. The values in the Visibility list of the process form are visible after a target resource reconciliation run. |
| 8521163 | During user reconciliation, user records that were not modified were fetched to Oracle Identity Manager and then disabled. | This issue has been resolved. During user reconciliation, user records that are not modified are not fetched in to Oracle Identity Manager. |
