Preface

This guide provides information that can be applied when creating adapters, assigning and removing process tasks, and compiling, importing, and exporting adapters.

Audience

This guide is intended for users of the Oracle Identity Manager Design Console. The information in this guide can be used by developers, who are responsible for creating adapters, and by Oracle Identity Manager administrators, who attach these adapters to process tasks, forms that are predefined in Oracle Identity Manager, and user-created forms.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible to all users, including users that are disabled. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers. For more information, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program Web site at http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/.

Accessibility of Code Examples in Documentation

Screen readers may not always correctly read the code examples in this document. The conventions for writing code require that closing braces should appear on an otherwise empty line; however, some screen readers may not always read a line of text that consists solely of a bracket or brace.

Accessibility of Links to External Web Sites in Documentation

This documentation may contain links to Web sites of other companies or organizations that Oracle does not own or control. Oracle neither evaluates nor makes any representations regarding the accessibility of these Web sites.

Online Help

Oracle Identity Manager comes equipped with a suite of online Help systems, designed to assist you with locating relevant information when you need it. The various books within the Help system library are available using the Help menu (located in the main screen). To open a particular book, select it from the Help menu.

In addition, Oracle Identity Manager provides content-sensitive Help for a number of forms. The contents of the content-sensitive Help topic reflect the form that is active within the Oracle Identity Manager main screen. To launch a context-sensitive Help topic for a particular form, ensure that it is active. Then, press F1.
