After you deploy the connector, you must configure it to meet your requirements. This chapter discusses the following connector configuration procedure:
Note:
Perform this procedure only if you want to configure the connector for multiple installations of SAP Enterprise Portal.
You may want to configure the connector for multiple installations of SAP Enterprise Portal. The following example illustrates this requirement:
The Tokyo, London, and New York offices of Example Multinational Inc. have their own installations of SAP Enterprise Portal. The company has recently installed Oracle Identity Manager, and they want to configure Oracle Identity Manager to link all the installations of SAP Enterprise Portal.
To meet the requirement posed by such a scenario, you must configure the connector for multiple installations of SAP Enterprise Portal.
To configure the connector for multiple installations of the target system:

Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide for detailed instructions on performing each step of this procedure
Create and configure one resource object for each target system installation.
The Resource Objects form is in the Resource Management folder. The SAP EP Resource Object 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 SAP EP IT Resource 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 process definition.
The Form Designer form is in the Development Tools folder. The following process forms are created when you import the connector XML file:
UD_SAPEP (parent form)
UD_SAPEPROL (child form for multivalued attributes)
UD_SAPEPGP (child form for multivalued attributes)
You can use these process forms as templates 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 SAP EP Process 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.
While mapping the adapter variables for the IT Resource data type, ensure that you select the IT resource that you create in Step 2 from the Qualifier list.
Configure reconciliation for each target system installation. See Section 3.3, "Configuring Reconciliation" for instructions. Note that only the values of the following attributes are to be changed for each reconciliation scheduled task:
ITResource
ResourceObject
IsTrustedSource
Set the IsTrustedSource attribute to True for the SAP Enterprise Portal installation that you want to designate as a trusted source.
If required, modify the fields to be reconciled for the Xellerate User resource object.
When you use the Administrative and User Console to perform provisioning, you can specify the IT resource corresponding to the SAP Enterprise Portal installation to which you want to provision the user.
