What's New in Oracle Identity Manager Connector for SAP Employee Reconciliation?

This chapter provides an overview of the updates made to the software and documentation for SAP Employee Reconciliation connector in release 9.0.4.8.

See Also:

The earlier release of this guide for information about updates that were new for that release

The updates discussed in this chapter are divided into the following categories:

Software Updates

The following sections discuss updates made from release 9.0.4 to the current release of the connector:

Software Updates in Release 9.0.4.1

The following are software updates in release 9.0.4.1:

Changes to the Connector Files on the Installation Media

There are some changes in the directory structure of the testing utility files. These changes have been made in the "Files and Directories on the Installation Media" section.

Support for Oracle Application Server

In this release, the connector supports Oracle Application Server. Changes related to this software update have been made in the following sections:

From Chapter 5, "Known Issues", the following item has been removed:

The connector uses the JCO API that supports JDK 1.4 to communicate with SAP Employee Reconciliation. Oracle Identity Manager supports the Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J) release that works on JDK 1.5. Therefore, the connector does not support OC4J.

Software Updates in Releases 9.0.4.2

There are no software updates in releases 9.0.4.2.

Software Updates in Releases 9.0.4.3

The following are issues resolved in release 9.0.4.3:

Bug Number Issue Resolution
7134299 The employee ID attribute of the target system is mapped to the User ID attribute of the OIM User. If you modified the User ID attribute of an OIM User, then subsequent updates made to the user on the target system were not reconciled. This issue has been resolved. The PERSONNEL_NUMBER attribute has been added to the predefined set of OIM User attributes. The employee ID attribute of the target system is mapped to both the User ID and the PERSONNEL_NUMBER attribute.

On Oracle Identity Manager, any change made to the User ID attribute is not propagated to the PERSONNEL_NUMBER attribute. During reconciliation, the PERSONNEL_NUMBER attribute is used to match records fetched from the target system.

Therefore, updates made on the target system are successfully reconciled even after you change the value of the User ID attribute.


Software Updates in Releases 9.0.4.4

The following is a software update in release 9.0.4.4:

Using the Connector Installer

From Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0 onward, the Administrative and User Console provides the Connector Installer feature. This feature can be used to automate the connector installation procedure.

See "Installing the Connector" for details.

Software Updates in Release 9.0.4.5

The following are issues resolved in release 9.0.4.5:

Bug Number Issue Resolution
7418360 The java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception was encountered if a provisioning operation involved a large number of users. This issue has been resolved. The connector now supports SAP JCo 3.0. The issue is not encountered when you use SAP custom code files provided along with this version of the SAP JCo.

Note: SAP JCo 3.0 replaces SAP JCo 2.0 and SAP JCo 2.1. It requires JVM version 1.5 or later, and it is incompatible with earlier versions of SAP JCo.

See "Verifying Deployment Requirements" for information about the required external files.
