Oracle Transportation Management User Synchronization to Oracle Identity Management

The Transportation and Global Trade Management service supports the ability to synchronize users and some user attributes with the users in the Oracle Cloud Identity Management service by defining an External System for the Oracle Cloud Identity and Access Management cloud service. The user data synchronization is only one-way from the Transportation and Global Trade Management service to Oracle Identity and Access Management cloud services. The user synchronization works by matching up the Transportation and Global Trade Management Nickname field to the Oracle Identity and Access Management cloud Service User Name field. The extra user attributes supported for synchronization include first name, last name, email address, and if they are a federate user. These extra user attributes fields are actually required by Oracle Identity and Access Management cloud service for a user, while these are purely informational in the Oracle Transportation and Global Trade Management service. There's also an ability to synchronize the users Business Intelligence Roles from Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud to Oracle Identity Cloud Service groups.

The Transportation and Global Trade Management service supports additional attributes for synchronization control and information. A Federated User attribute exists on the user. This attribute allows to specify the user as federated during an Oracle Identity Cloud Service synchronization. To maintain backward capability, the default value for this attribute is set that the user is not federated. This attribute can be specified on user creation and modification as required. A Sync User attribute exists on the user. This attribute allows the ability to specify whether or not the user should be synced. In some cases, internal and external integration users should not be synced. To maintain backward capability, the default value for this attribute is set so that the user will be sync-able. This attribute can be specified on user creation and modification. A Last Known Sync Date attribute exists on the user. The attribute will provide the last known synchronization date, as it set after the last known successful synchronization. This is only an informational field and can be undermined if direct user or group modification is performed within Oracle Identity Cloud Service itself.

See the Enable User Synchronization from OTM to IDCS section of the Administration Guide for detailed instructions.
