3.4.1 Correlation Rules for the Target Application

When you create a target application, the connector uses correlation rules to determine the identity to which Oracle Identity Governance must assign a resource.

Predefined Identity Correlation Rules

By default, the SAP Ariba connector provides a simple correlation rule when you create a target application. The connector uses this correlation rule to compare the entries in Oracle Identity Governance repository and the target system repository, determine the difference between the two repositories, and apply the latest changes to Oracle Identity Governance.

The following table lists the default simple correlation rule for an SAP Ariba connector. If required, you can edit the default correlation rule or add new rules. You can create complex correlation rules also. For more information about adding or editing simple or complex correlation rules, see Updating Identity Correlation Rules in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance.

Table 3-5 Predefined Identity Correlation Rule for an SAP Ariba Connector

Target Attribute Element Operator Identity Attribute Case Sensitive?
__UID__ Equals User Login No

In this identity rule:

  • __UID__ is a single-valued attribute on the target system that identifies the user account.
  • User Login is the field on the OIG User form.

Predefined Situations and Responses

The SAP ARIBA connector provides a default set of situations and responses when you create a target application. These situations and responses specify the action that Oracle Identity Governance must take based on the result of a reconciliation event.

The below table lists the default situations and responses for an SAP Ariba Target application. If required, you can edit these default situations and responses or add new ones. For more information about adding or editing situations and responses, see Updating Situations and Responses Updating Situations and Responses in Oracle Fusion Middleware Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance
