1.6 Use Cases Supported by the Connector

The SAP Ariba is used to integrate Oracle Identity Governance with SAP Ariba to ensure that all SAP Ariba accounts are created and updated on an integrated cycle with the rest of the identity-aware applications in your enterprise. The SAP Ariba supports management of identities for Cloud Identity, Synchronized Identity, and Federated Identity models of SAP Ariba. In a typical IT scenario, an organization using Oracle Identity Governance wants to manage accounts across SAP Ariba Cloud Service.

• SAP Ariba User Management:

  An organization using SAP Ariba wants to integrate with Oracle Identity Governance to manage identities. The organization wants to manage its user identities by creating them in the target system using Oracle Identity Governance. The organization also wants to synchronize user identity changes performed directly in the target system with Oracle Identity Governance. In such a scenario, a quick and easy way is to install the SAP Ariba connector and configure it with your target system by providing connection information.

  To create a new user in the target system, fill in and submit the OIM process form to trigger the provisioning operation. The connector executes the CreateOp operation against your target system and the user is created on successful execution of the operation. Similarly, operations like update can be performed.

  To search or retrieve the user identities, you must run a scheduled task from Oracle Identity Governance. The connector will run the corresponding SearchOp against the user identities in the target system and fetch all the changes to Oracle Identity Governance
