Schedule the Import User and Role Application Security Data Process

You must run the Import User and Role Application Security Data process to set up and maintain the Security Console. During implementation, you perform the Import Users and Roles into Application Security task to run this process.

The process copies users, roles, privileges, and data security policies from the LDAP directory, policy store, and Applications Core Grants schema to Oracle Fusion Applications Security tables. Having this information in the Oracle Fusion Applications Security tables makes the assisted search feature of the Security Console fast and reliable. After the process runs to completion for the first time, you're recommended to schedule the Import User and Role Application Security Data process to run daily. This topic describes how to schedule the process.

Note: Whenever you run the process, it copies only those changes that were made since it last ran.

Review Synchronization Process Preferences

On the General subtab of the Security Console Administration tab, you can set the Synchronization Process Preferences option. This option controls how frequently you're reminded to run the Import User and Role Application Security Data process. By default, the warning appears if the process hasn't run successfully in the last 6 hours. If you schedule the process to run daily, then you may want to increment this option to a value greater than 24.
