Running Incremental Target Resource Reconciliation

You can perform an incremental target resource reconciliation run after generating and installing the connector.

The following are the tasks to performed for an incremental target resource reconciliation run:

1. The target system (database) must have users.
2. Generate the connector. This involves configuring the DBATConfiguration.groovy file and running the DBAT Generator to discover the schema and generate the connector. See Generating the Database Application Tables Connector for detailed information about connector generation.

   Note:

   While configuring the DBATConfiguration.groovy file, ensure you have specified a value for the changeLogColumn property. Otherwise, the scheduled job used to perform an incremental reconciliation run is not created.
3. Install the generated connector. See Overview of Installing DBAT Connector for detailed information about installing the generated connector.
4. Create the IT resource for your target system. See Configuring the IT Resource for the Target System for more information.
5. Create a form and an application instance for your target system. See the following sections for more information:

   • Creating a New UI Form

   • Creating an Application Instance

6. Run the RESOURCE Target Resource User Reconciliation scheduled job to perform a full target resource reconciliation run to fetch all user records in the target system to Oracle Identity Manager. At the end of this reconciliation run, all the user records in the target system are linked to corresponding OIM Users as resources.

   See Scheduled Jobs for Reconciliation of User Records for more information about the scheduled job.

7. Perform some changes to user records in your target system.
8. Run the RESOURCE Target Incremental Resource User Reconciliation scheduled job to perform an incremental reconciliation run to fetch only the user records that were modified in the target system since the last reconciliation run. See Scheduled Jobs for Incremental Reconciliation for more information about this scheduled job.
