B Performing Common Connector Operations

This appendix summarizes the procedure for some of the common operations that can be performed by using this connector. This appendix discusses the following topics:

• Running Incremental Trusted Source Reconciliation

• Running Incremental Target Resource Reconciliation

• Configuring and Performing Lookup Field Synchronization

• Provisioning Child Data

B.1 Running Incremental Trusted Source Reconciliation

Perform the following tasks for an incremental trusted source reconciliation run:

1. The target system (database) must have users.
2. Create the DBAT application. See Creating an Application By Using the Connector for detailed information about creating an application.

   Note:

   While creating the application, make sure to specify a value for the changeLogColumn property.

3. Run the RESOURCE Trusted Resource User Reconciliation scheduled job to perform a full trusted source reconciliation run to fetch all user records in the target system to Oracle Identity Governance. See Scheduled Jobs for Reconciliation of User Records for more information about this scheduled job.
4. Perform some changes to user records in your target system.
5. Run the RESOURCETrusted 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.

B.2 Running Incremental Target Resource Reconciliation

Perform the following tasks for an incremental target resource reconciliation run:

1. The target system (database) must have users.
2. Create the DBAT application. See Creating an Application By Using the Connector for detailed information about creating an application.

   Note:

   While creating the application, make sure to specify a value for the changeLogColumn property.

3. 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 Governance.

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

4. Perform some changes to user records in your target system.
5. 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.

B.3 Configuring and Performing Lookup Field Synchronization

This section describes the procedure to configure and perform lookup field synchronization to use lookup definitions as the input source for some of the fields on the process form during provisioning operations. The following are the tasks to achieve this:

1. Create the DBAT application. See Creating an Application By Using the Connector for detailed information about creating an application.
2. Ensure that you have empty lookup definitions such as Lookup.RESOURCE.Example to store values from child tables in your target system.
3. Update the form and lookup definition to include information that specifies the field is a lookup field.
4. Run the RESOURCETarget Lookup Reconciliation scheduled job to perform lookup field synchronization. See Scheduled Job for Lookup Field Synchronization for more information about this scheduled job.

B.4 Provisioning Child Data

To perform provisioning operations on child data:

1. Create the DBAT application. See Creating an Application By Using the Connector for detailed information about creating an application.
2. To provision child data, see Performing Provisioning Operations for more information.
