This chapter provides an overview of the updates made to the software and documentation for release 9.1.0 of the SAP Employee Reconciliation connector.
See Also:
The earlier release of this guide for information about updates that were new for that releaseThe updates discussed in this chapter are divided into the following categories:
These include updates made to the connector software.
Documentation-Specific Updates
These include major changes made to the connector documentation. These changes are not related to software updates.
The following sections discuss software updates:
The following are software updates in release 9.1.0:
Support for All Major (Including Effective-Dated) Lifecycle Events
Support for Synchronization of Employee Type Data and Reconciliation by Employee Type
Support for the Multiple Trusted Source Reconciliation Feature of Oracle Identity Manager
In earlier releases, the connector used custom BAPIs to exchange data with the target system. From this release onward, the connector supports IDoc-based reconciliation. Both tRFC and file ports can be used as modes of communication between the target system and Oracle Identity Manager.
The connector provides all the features required for setting up SAP HRMS a trusted (authoritative) source of identity data for Oracle Identity Manager.
The connector cannot be used for setting up SAP HRMS as a target resource. In other words, the connector does not support provisioning operations and target resource reconciliation with SAP HRMS. This is because person records maintained in SAP HRMS are not accounts that users can use to log in to the system and perform business-related work.
In earlier releases, you could not modify or add to the predefined attribute mapping between the target system and Oracle Identity Manager. Support for IDoc-based messaging ensures that you can customize attribute mappings.
See Section 4.1, "Removing or Adding Attributes for Reconciliation" for more information.
The connector can recognize and respond to both current-dated and effective-dated lifecycle events.
See Section 1.4.4, "Reconciliation of Effective-Dated Lifecycle Events" for more information.
From this release onward, a lookup definition is used to specify mappings between the following items:
Employee Group and Employee Subgroup combinations on the target system
Employee types defined in Oracle Identity Manager
You can use a predefined scheduled task to synchronize this lookup definition with changes made on the target system. You can also specify the employee type (that is, employee group and subgroup combination) for which you want to fetch data during reconciliation.
See the following sections for more information:
In earlier releases, the Manager ID attribute was not included in the predefined list of attributes reconciled from the target system. Data about employees' managers is reconciled from this release onward.
See Section 1.4.6, "Reconciliation of the Manager ID Attribute" for more information.
The connector now supports the multiple trusted source reconciliation feature of Oracle Identity Manager. See Oracle Identity Manager Design Console Guide for detailed information about multiple trusted source reconciliation.
From this release onward:
The required SAP JCo version is 3.0.
The minimum certified release of Oracle Identity Manager is release 9.1.0.2.
AIX is one of the certified operating systems for the host computer on which Oracle Identity Manager is installed.
See Section 1.1, "Certified Components" for the complete listing of certified components. See the following Oracle Technology Network page for information about certified components of Oracle Identity Manager:

Note:
The title of that section has been changed from "Certified Deployment Configurations" to "Certified Components."The reconciliation rule for trusted source reconciliation has been modified. See Section 1.5.2, "Reconciliation Rule" for more information.
Major changes have been made in the structure of the guide. The objective of these changes is to synchronize the guide with the changes made to the connector and to improve the usability of information provided by the guide.
See Section 1.6, "Roadmap for Deploying and Using the Connector" for detailed information about the organization of content in this guide.
