5 Testing the Connector

After you deploy the connector, you must test it to ensure that it functions as expected. This chapter discusses the following topics related to connector testing:

• Testing Full Reconciliation

• Testing Incremental Reconciliation

5.1 Testing Full Reconciliation

The testing utility allows you to test the functionality of the connector without using Oracle Identity Manager. The testing utility takes as input a text file generated by the target system. This file contains comma-separated values.

To run the testing utility:

1. Open the OIM_HOME/XLIntegrations/PSFTER/config/config_Recon.properties file, and specify values for the following properties:

   • FiltersToBeApplied:

   • FiltersValues:

   • IsFilterApplied:

   • Operator:

   • SearchCriteria:

   • CaseSensitive:

   • FilePath:

   • NoOfRecordsToBeReconciled

   • UserType

   • EmployeeType

   • Organization

   • TrustedRO

   • IndexOfLastReconciledRecord

   • RecordDelimiter

   • AppendMode: If the value is yes, then the data is added to the end of the file. If the value is no, then the data is written from the beginning and the previous contents of the file are overwritten. The default value is no.

   • DestinationFileName: Specify the file name with path where the text file will be generated.

   • DelayBetweenRetries

   • NumberOfRetries

2. After you specify the values in the properties file, run the following file.

   For UNIX:

   OIM_HOME/XLIntegrations/PSFTER/scripts/psftER_Recon.sh
   

   For Microsoft Windows:

   OIM_HOME/XLIntegrations/PSFTER/scripts/psftER_Recon.bat
   

3. After the testing utility completes the run, a text file is created in the location specified in the DestinationFileName property. This file contains all the records that satisfy the filter condition, if required.

5.2 Testing Incremental Reconciliation

Testing incremental reconciliation involves verifying that the PeopleSoft listener can reconcile employee data into Oracle Identity Manager. The following sections provide information about this procedure:

• Prerequisites for Testing the PeopleSoft Listener

• Testing the PeopleSoft Listener

5.2.1 Prerequisites for Testing the PeopleSoft Listener

The following are prerequisites for testing the PeopleSoft listener:

• Ensure that the Microsoft Windows scripting engine is installed. This is required to run VBScript files.

• Ensure that the PeopleSoft XML message template is described in the psft_xellerate_msg.xml file, which is in the OIM_HOME/XLIntegrations/PSFTER/cbrecon directory.

5.2.2 Testing the PeopleSoft Listener

Note:

The procedure described in this section requires a restart of Oracle Identity Manager. After you perform this procedure, you must reverse the change made in the deployment.properties file and then restart Oracle Identity Manager again.

To test the PeopleSoft listener:

1. In the OIM_HOME/XLIntegrations/PSFTER/cbrecon/psft-xel-test.vbs file:

   • Modify the value of the ps_server_url variable so that it points to the URL for the PeopleSoft listener.

   • Specify the required PeopleSoft attributes and employee data values in the ExecuteATM function.

2. Run the psft-xel-test.vbs file.

   When the script is run, it creates a reconciliation event. Verify that the reconciliation event is created in Oracle Identity Manager and that the event contains the data that you specify in the VBScript file.

   If the reconciliation event is successful, then an OIM User account is created or updated containing the values specified in the psft-xel-test.vbs file.
