Testing and Troubleshooting

After you deploy the connector, you must test it to ensure that it functions as expected. The installation media includes a testing utility to test connector operations.

Note:

Using the testing utility, you can test connectivity and perform sanity tests on basic connector operations.The testing utility does not support functions such as validation, transformation, resource exclusion, multiple-version support, and remote connector server.

This chapter discusses the following topics related to connector testing:

Testing Reconciliation

The utility takes as input the XML file or message generated by the target system. It can be used for testing full and incremental reconciliation.

The testing utility is located in the test on the installation media. See Files and Directories on the Installation Media for more information.

To run the testing utility for reconciliation:

  1. Open and edit the test/config/reconConfig.properties file as follows:

    1. Enter the PeopleSoftOIMListener servlet URL as the value of ListenerURL in following syntax:

      http://HOST_NAME:PORT/PeopleSoftOIMListener
      

      For example:

      ListenerURL=http://10.1.6.83:8080/PeopleSoftOIMListener
      
    2. Enter the absolute XML message file path as the value of XMLFilePath as shown in the following example:

      XMLFilePath=c:/xmlmessages/user_profile.xml
      

      Note:

      Ensure that there is no blank or white-space character in the path and file name that you specify.

    3. Enter a value for the MessageType. For a ping message, specify Ping, None, or otherwise as shown in the following example:

      MessageType=None
      
    4. Enter a value for ITResourceName. This value must match the active IT resource in Oracle Identity Manager.

      For example:

      ITResourceName=PSFT User
      
    5. Enter the name of the message for which you are run the testing utility.

      For example:

      MessageName=USER_PROFILE
      
  2. If you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.2.x or later, then include the jrf.jar, jrf-api.jar, and jrf-client.jar files to the classpath.

    These JAR files are located in the $ORACLE_COMMON/modules/oracle.jrf_11.1.1 .

  3. Open a command window, and navigate to the scripts .

    You must run the testing utility from the OIM_HOME/server/ConnectorDefault/CONN_HOME/test/scripts , where CONN_HOME is the connector .

    For example:

    OIM_HOME/server/ConnectorDefault/PSFT_UM_11.1.1.6.0/test/scripts

  4. Run the following script:

    For Microsoft Windows:

    InvokeListener.bat
    

    For UNIX:

    InvokeListener.sh
    

After the testing utility completes the run, it creates a reconciliation event. Verify that the reconciliation event is created in Oracle Identity Manager and that the event contains the data specified in the message-specific XML file.

Testing Provisioning

You can use the testing utility to identify the cause of problems associated with connecting to the target system and performing basic operations on the target system.

This section contains the following topics:

About Testing Provisioning

When you run the testing utility, it reads the connectivity information from the IT Resource, lookup definitions from Oracle Identity Manager, and process form data is read from the config.properties file.

You must ensure that Oracle Identity Manager is running. You must copy the psjoa.jar file from the PEOPLESOFT_HOME/web/psjoa to the OIM_HOME/server/ConnectorDefault/PSFT_UM_11.1.1.6.0/test/thirdparty .

Running the Testing Utility for Provisioning

To run the testing utility for provisioning:

  1. Create the wlfullclient.jar file by using the WebLogic JarBuilder Tool. See Oracle WebLogic Server documentation for more information.
  2. If you are using Oracle Identity Manager release 11.1.2.x or later, then include the jrf.jar, jrf-api.jar, and jrf-client.jar files to the classpath.

    These JAR files are located in the $ORACLE_COMMON/modules/oracle.jrf_11.1.1 .

  3. Modify the attributes of the config.properties file using the values specified in the following table. This file is located in the config on the installation media. testing-and-troubleshooting.htm#GUID-A293D2A2-2317-4AF8-9D35-546C78ED142E__BABDBCFD describes each property:
  4. After you specify values in the config.properties file, run the PeoplesoftProvisioningTester.sh or PeoplesoftProvisioningTester.bat file. This file is located in the test/scripts on the installation media.

Troubleshooting

The following table lists solutions to some commonly encountered issues associated with the PeopleSoft User Management connector:

Problem Description Solution

Oracle Identity Manager cannot establish a connection with the PeopleSoft Enterprise Applications server.

  • Ensure that the PeopleSoft Enterprise Applications server is running.

  • Ensure that Oracle Identity Manager is running.

  • Ensure that all the adapters have been compiled.

  • Use the IT resources form to examine the Oracle Identity Manager record. Ensure that the IP address, admin ID, and admin password are correct.

  • Ensure that the correct Jolt URL has been specified. See deploying-connector.htm#GUID-0A832C70-36E6-4DB7-9AB0-97D514B8970E__BIHGHEAE for information about locating and determining a Jolt URL.

  • Ensure that the server on which Oracle Identity Manager is running can communicate with the Jolt listener over the Jolt URL.

Class loading error

Returned Error Message:

ERROR [STDERR] Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: psft/pt8/joa/JOAException

  • Ensure that the target system-specific psjoa.jar file is present in the connector bundle, in the OIM_HOME/server/ConnectorDefault/PSFT_UM_11.1.1.6.0/test/lib .

Connection error

Returned Error Message:

Reason:NwHdlr: Cannot open socketINFO [STDOUT] Jolt Session Pool cannot provide a connection to the appsever. This appears to be because there is no available application server domain.

ERROR [STDERR] [Thu Nov 12 19:36:16 IST 2009] bea.jolt.ServiceException: Invalid Session

Check the Jolt URL parameter defined in the ITResource. See deploying-connector.htm#GUID-0A832C70-36E6-4DB7-9AB0-97D514B8970E__BIHGHEAE for more information. It should contain the correct host name and port.

You might receive the following error message while reconciling user profile data:

ERROR [PSFTCOMMON] 
=================================

This indicates that the target system is sending the USER_PROFILE message with the name USER_PROFILE.VERSION_84.

You must modify the Code Key value of the USER_PROFILE attribute in the Lookup.PSFT.Configuration lookup definition as follows:

Code Key: USER_PROFILE.VERSION_84

Decode: Lookup.PSFT.Message.UserProfile.Configuration

You might receive one of the following error messages:

To resolve this issue:

  1. Verify the PeopleSoft target system for the EmplID attribute name in the USER_PROFILE component interface.

    Depending on the version of PeopleSoft, the attribute name will be EmplID or Empl ID.

    Similarly, for Vendor Set ID and Customer Set ID, the attribute name will be Set ID or SetID.

  2. Update the entry in the Lookup.PSFT.UM.ProvAttrMap lookup with the attribute name that you verified in the preceding step.

    For example, if the attribute name is EmplID in PeopleSoft, update the decode value for Employee ID to:

    IDTypes~UM_IDTypes[IDType=EMP]~Attributes~UM_Attributes[AttributeName=EmplID]~AttributeValue

  3. If required, perform the preceding step for the Set ID decode value for Vendor Set ID or Customer Set ID.

The following issue is observed if the JDK version used by Oracle Identity Manager has been changed from 1.7 to an earlier version:

Provisioning operation fails and an error is displayed.

To fix the issue, recompile all the adapters by performing the following procedure:

  1. Login to the Oracle Identity System Design Console.

  2. Expand Development Tools and click on Adapter Manager.

  3. Select Compile All, and click the Start button.

  4. Ensure that the status for all the adapters is OK.

You might receive the following error message:

org.identityconnectors.framework.common.exceptions.ConnectorException: Cannot connect to peoplesoft : DOWNbea.jolt.ServiceException: Invalid Session

You must apply Patch 18391274 and retest the provisioning operation. To obtain the patch, go to following URL, click Patches and Updates, and search for the patch number:

https://support.oracle.com/

User target delete reconciliation fails on Oracle Identity Manager Release 2 and any later BP in this release track.

You must set the following values for the various fields in the Lookup.PSFT.UM.DeleteUserProfile.AttributeMapping and Lookup.PSFT.UM.DeleteUserProfile.Recon lookup definitions:

  • In the Lookup.PSFT.UM.DeleteUserProfile.AttributeMapping lookup definition, set Return ID as the value for the Code Key variable and OPRID~PRG_USR_PROFILE~None~None~PRIMARY for Decode.

  • In the Lookup.PSFT.UM.DeleteUserProfile.Recon lookup definition, set Return ID as the value for the Code Key and Decode variables.

Additionally, perform the following procedure:

  1. Login to the Design Console.

  2. Expand Process Management and double-click Process Definition.

  3. Search for and open the Peoplesoft User Management process definition.

  4. Navigate and open the User ID window.

  5. Select the Case In-sensitive option.

  6. Click Save.

Finally, to complete the workaround, re-create a Reconciliation Profile.

You might receive the following error message:

psjoa compiled version not supported

You must install Oracle Identity Manager against the latest version of Java 1.7 or above.

Alternatively you can install the Connector Server with the latest version of Java 1.7 or above.
