Implementing a New External Resource Integration

Use the following procedure to integrate Waveset with SAP Access Control using an external resource.

1. Create an SAP Access Control Web Service adapter.

2. Import the following files:

   • $WSHOME/sample/rules/SAPAccessControlRules.xml

   • $WSHOME/sample/forms/ExternalSAPAccessControlUserForm.xml

3. Create an external resource. Refer to Understanding and Managing External Resources in Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 Business Administrator’s Guide for more information. The resource must have a database data source with Web Service notification. Be sure to follow these steps:

   1. Select Web Service as the Provisioner Notification Type.

   2. Select the desired SAP Access Control resource.

   3. Select either the SAP Access Control Check Status Rule or your customized rule to perform the status check. The SAP Access Control Check Status Rule is provided in the SAPAccessControlRules.xml file.

   4. Select the Provisioning Request form for SAP Access Control. The recommended form is the SAP Access Control Provisioning Request Form, but you may also select a customized form.

4. The account attributes page will be populated with attributes from the SAP Access Control resource, but they cannot be edited. If you make any changes to the attributes on the SAP Access Control resource, load the external resource account attributes page and click the Save button. Refer to the SAP Access Control adapter documentation for a list of default attributes.

5. Merge the External SAP Access Control User Form with your version of the Tabbed User Form.

6. Configure the User Deferred Task Scanner to run periodically. The interval for this task will determine how often the status of the provisioning request will be checked. The default interval is 1 hour.
