4 Extending the Functionality of the Connector

This chapter discusses the following optional procedures:

4.1 Modifying Existing Field Mappings

Default mappings between fields of the target system and Oracle Identity Manager are listed in the following sections:

If you want to modify these mappings, then:

  1. Log in to the Design Console.

  2. Expand Administration, and double-click Lookup Definition.

  3. Search for and open the lookup definition that you want to modify.

  4. Make the required change in the field mappings by modifying the Code Key and Decode values.

  5. Click Save.

4.2 Modifying Field Lengths on the Process Form

You might want to modify the lengths of fields (attributes) on the process form. For example, if you use the Japanese locale, then you might want to increase the lengths of process form fields to accommodate multibyte data from the target system.

Note:

On mySAP ERP 2005 (ECC 6.0 running on WAS 7.0), the default length of the password field is 40 characters. The default length of the password field on the process form is 8 characters. If you are using mySAP ERP 2005, then you must increase the length of the password field on the process form.

If you want to modify the length of a field on the process form, then:

  1. Log in to the Design Console.

  2. Expand Development Tools, and double-click Form Designer.

  3. Search for and open the UD_SAPCUA process form.

  4. Click Create New Version.

  5. Enter a label for the new version, click the Save icon, and then close the dialog box.

  6. From the Current Version list, select the version that you create.

  7. Modify the length of the required field.

  8. Click the Save icon.

  9. Click Make Version Active.
