Documentation-Specific Updates
This section describes major changes made in this guide. These changes are not related to software updates.
The following sections discuss the software updates:
The following software updates have been made in release 9.1.0:
From this release onward, PeopleTools 8.22, 8.45, 8.46, 8.47, and 8.48 are not supported. Information specific to these releases has been removed from the guide. The modified target system requirements information is documented in Section 1.1, "Certified Components."
The list of target system fields that are reconciled has changed. This is described in Section 1.5.1, "User Attributes for Reconciliation."
The list of person types that are supported in this release of the connector has been modified. See "Valid Person Types" on page 16 for details.
The connector supports the Effective Dating feature of the target system. See Section 1.4.4, "Reconciliation of Effective-Dated Lifecycle Events" for details.
The connector supports person termination events. See Section 1.4.7, "Person Termination Events" for details.
Information about the files in which you set the log levels has changed. This information is available in Section 2.3.1.1, "Enabling Logging."
From this release onward, the connector is installed through the Connector Installer feature of the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console. Instructions to perform the installation are provided in Section 2.2.1.1, "Running the Connector Installer."
You can configure SSL connectivity between Oracle Identity Manager and the target system for this release of the connector. However, SSL is not supported for Oracle Application Server. For instructions to configure SSL, see Section 2.3, "Postinstallation."
The following software updates have been made in release 9.1.0.1:
From this release onward, the connector can be deployed on Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.1.
The following table lists the issues resolved in this release:
| Bug Number | Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 8246283 | The deployment.properties file is bundled in the listener (PeopleSoftOIMListener.war) file. The default message name in this properties file was the one used during testing. You had to change the message name and redeploy the listener while testing the connector and again before you started using it in your production environment. | This issue has been resolved. The message name for both testing and production environments has been set to PSFT_OIM_ER_MSG. |
There are no software updates in release 9.1.0.2.
The following software updates have been made in release 9.1.1:
Support for the Multiple Trusted Source Reconciliation Feature of Oracle Identity Manager
Support for Specifying Persons to Be Excluded from Reconciliation Operation
From this release onward, the connector helps you to manage all major person lifecycle events, from onboarding to termination and beyond a whole range of events that defines a long-term relationship a person establishes with an organization. This relationship can be defined as the person lifecycle.
The connector performs real-time reconciliation of changes in PeopleSoft including new person creation, changes to existing persons, and so on.
Whenever the status of a person changes in PeopleSoft, the status of the OIM User changes as defined in the Lookup.PSFT.HRMS.WorkForceSync.EmpStatus lookup definition.
See Section 1.5.4.2.4, "Lookup.PSFT.HRMS.WorkForceSync.EmpStatus" for more information.
In earlier releases, the connector made use of custom PeopleCode in PeopleSoft HRMS for full reconciliation and incremental reconciliation. From this release onward, the connector uses the following standard PeopleSoft messages that are delivered as part of PeopleSoft HRMS installation:
PERSON_BASIC_FULLSYNC
WORKFORCE_FULLSYNC
PERSON_BASIC_SYNC
WORKFORCE_SYNC
See Section 1.4.5, "Support for Standard PeopleSoft Messages" for more information.
Lookup definitions have been added to support reconciliation based on standard message types.
See Section 1.5.4, "Predefined Lookup Definitions" for a complete listing of the lookup definitions.
Standard messages provided by PeopleSoft are asynchronous. In other words, if a message is not delivered successfully, then the PeopleSoft Integration Broker marks that message as not delivered. The message can then be resent manually.
See Section 3.5, "Resending Messages That Are Not Received by the PeopleSoft Listener" 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.
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.
You can configure validation of person data that is brought into Oracle Identity Manager during reconciliation. In addition, you can configure transformation of person data that is brought into Oracle Identity Manager during reconciliation.
See the following sections for more information:
Section 4.4, "Configuring Validation of Data During Reconciliation"
Section 4.5, "Configuring Transformation of Data During Reconciliation"
To meet the requirements of specific use cases, you might need to create multiple copies of the Oracle Identity Manager objects that constitute the connector. The connector can work with multiple instances of these objects.
See Section 4.8, "Configuring the Connector for Multiple Installations of the Target System" for more information.
From this release onward, you can specify a list of persons who must be excluded from all reconciliation operations.
See Section 1.5.4.3.2, "Lookup.PSFT.HRMS.ExclusionList" for more information.
The following issues are resolved in release 9.1.1:
| Bug Number | Issue | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 8351580 and 8718471 | The connector supported a single PeopleSoft implementation for a single Oracle Identity Manager. The connector did not allow the reuse of the adapters with multiple objects, processes, and form names required for different implementations. | This issue has been resolved. The connector now makes use of the configuration lookup definitions. The Oracle Identity Manager object references can now be configured. |
| 8315375 | The properties file was loaded multiple times during reconciliation. | This issue has been resolved. From this release onward, the connector does not require the properties file. Instead, it makes use of lookup definitions. |
| 8919647 | The connector did not retrieve the OIM User status from HR Action. It made use of person job status (active or inactive) to mark the status of an OIM User. | This issue has been resolved. The connector now makes use of a lookup definition that maps the Action taken against a person with the OIM User status. The connector now handles major person lifecycle events. |
| 8948098 | The target system date format used during reconciliation was incorrect. | This issue has been resolved. You can now specify the target system date format as the value of the Target Date Format entry in the Lookup.PSFT.Configuration lookup definition.
See Section 1.5.4.3.1, "Lookup.PSFT.Configuration" for more information. |
