21.1 About Reporting in Oracle Identity Governance

Oracle Analytics Server is Oracle's primary reporting tool for authoring, managing, and delivering all your highly formatted documents.

You can use standalone Oracle Analytics Server to view and run Oracle Identity Manager reports.

After Oracle Analytics Server configuration, you can take advantage of the standard features of Oracle Analytics Server, such as:

  • Highly formatted and professional quality reports with pagination and headers/footers.

  • PDF, Word, and HTML output of reports.

  • Capability to develop your own custom reports against the Oracle Identity Manager repository (read-only repository access).

  • Scheduling capabilities and delivery mechanisms, such as e-mail and FTP of Oracle Analytics Server.

  • Format (report) can be edited separately from the data definition (data model).

  • Standardized Oracle Identity subtemplate for headers.

  • National Language Support (NLS) for BI Publisher report output.

Note:

Before using Oracle Identity Manager reports, configure standalone Oracle Analytics Server reports. See Configuring Reports in Developing and Customizing Applications for Oracle Identity Governance.

21.3.9 Exception Reports

The exception reports are Fine Grained Entitlement Exceptions By Resource, Orphaned Account Summary Report, and Rogue Accounts By Resource.

This section describes about the exception reports in the following topics:

21.3.9.1 About Exception Reports

In Oracle Identity Manager, exception refers to the difference between accounts that a user is entitled to and the accounts that are actually assigned to a user. The user is assigned these accounts as a result of access policies, provisioning of resources, approval requests, and reconciliation events. Any difference of these accounts assigned to a user in the target system and the ones assigned to the user in Oracle Identity Manager comprises an exception. Exception reports are enabled by default.

Oracle Identity Manager provides the following exception reports:

  • Rogue Accounts By Resource

    This report returns a list of all the rogue accounts existing in a resource. The following exceptions are reported:

    • Account exists in the target system, but has been deprovisioned for the corresponding user in Oracle Identity Manager

    • Account exists and is active in the target system, but account does not exist in Oracle Identity Manager (user exists)

    • Account exists and is active in the target system, but user does not exist in Oracle Identity Manager

    • Account exists and is active in the target system, but Oracle Identity Manager user has been disabled

    • Account exists and is active in the system target, but Oracle Identity Manager user has been deleted

  • Orphaned Account Summary Report: An account that exists in the target system, but the corresponding user to whom the account is provisioned has been deleted in Oracle Identity Manager. For the given input resource, it lists the rogue accounts that exist in the target system, but the corresponding users to whom the accounts are provisioned has never existed in Oracle Identity Manager.

  • Fine Grained Entitlement Exceptions By Resource

    This report returns a list of all the accounts in a resource for which the process form data being reconciled is different from the expected values. It means that this report returns any account existing in the target system that is also provisioned to the corresponding user in Oracle Identity Manager, but for which the process data does not match.

    Note:

    • After completion of initial target reconciliation, all account-related activities performed directly on a target resource are tracked as exception activity. Account-related activities include account creation, account modification, and entitlement assignment/revocation. The exception reports should be used only if the organization policies enforce that all account-related activities in target resources would always be initiated in Oracle Identity Manager. In addition, remember that exception detection and recording are an extension of account data reconciliation and, therefore, may result in a drop in performance during reconciliation.

    • All the exception reports depend on reconciliation data. Therefore, these reports will not display any data if the corresponding reconciliation events are archived.

21.3.9.2 Fine Grained Entitlement Exceptions By Resource

Note:

Before running this report, you must populate data for account audit and reconciliation exceptions.

To populate the data for account audit and reconciliation exceptions:

  1. Provision an user to any target.

  2. Modify any of the user's attribute in the target and reconcile the user.

  3. Find data in UPA_UD_FORMFIELDS and UPA_UD_FORMS tables.

  4. Go to Oracle Identity Manger server and run RefreshMaterializedViewScheduler Task.

  5. Log in to BIP and view the report.

21.3.9.3 Populating the Data for Account Audit and Reconciliation Exceptions

To populate the data for account audit and reconciliation exceptions:
  1. Provision an user to any target.
  2. Modify any of the user's attribute in the target and reconcile the user.
  3. Find data in UPA_UD_FORMFIELDS and UPA_UD_FORMS tables.
  4. Go to Oracle Identity Governance server and run the Refresh Materialized View scheduled job.
  5. Log in to BI Publisher and view the report.
21.3.9.4 Migrating Legacy Data

In this release, performance optimization is achieved by running the Refresh Materialized View scheduled job. This scheduled job makes appropriate data available to OIG materialized view that is required for the Fine Grained Entitlement Exceptions By Resource report.

As part of performance optimization, there are some data model changes that require legacy data to be migrated to the new data model for you to continue viewing legacy data in the Fine Grained Entitlement Exceptions By Resource report. Data Migration will migrate all the legacy data to new UPA_UD_MVIEW_STORE table. As a result, all legacy data will be visible in the Fine Grained Entitlement Exception By Resource report.

Data generated post upgrade or fresh install automatically uses the new data model.

Note:

This section is applicable only if you are using an upgraded or freshly installed deployment of Oracle Identity Governance. The procedure described in this section is a one time activity.
To perform legacy data migration:
  1. Disable the Issue Audit Messages and Refresh Materialized View scheduled tasks.
  2. Tune REDO and UNDO sufficiently.

    See Managing the REDO Log and Managing UNDO in Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for information about REDO and UNDO respectively.

  3. Collect table statistics for the UPA_UD_FORMS, UPA_UD_FORMFIELDS, UPA_UD_MVIEW_STORE, SDK, PRF, OIU, OBI, SDC, OBJ, and UPA_RESOURCE tables. To do so, run the following command for all the tables:
    SQL> EXEC dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(USER, 'TABLE_NAME',
    cascade=>TRUE);
  4. Enable PL/SQL diagnostic logging by modifying the value of the OIM.DBDiagnosticLevelMviewMig system property to FINEST.

    See Default System Properties in Oracle Identity Governance for information about the OIM.DBDiagnosticLevelMviewMig system property.

  5. Drop the indexes on the UPA_UD_MVIEW_STORE table, as shown. This is to speed up the migration process. You will re-create the indexes after the migration is completed.
    SQL> DROP INDEX idx_upaud_mviewstore_forms_key;
    SQL> DROP INDEX idx_upaud_mv_store_showrep;
  6. Run the DBMS scheduled job to start legacy data migration from the command line or SQL Developer or Oracle Enterprise Developer. The following example shows running the job from command line:
    SQL> EXEC dbms_scheduler.run_job('OIM_MVIEW_LEGACY_MIG');
  7. Track the progress of the migration by using the following diagnostic logging tables:
    SQL> SELECT * FROM diag_log ORDER BY 1 DESC;
    SQL> SELECT * FROM diag_log_dtls ORDER BY 2 DESC, 1;

    To track the progress of the DBMS scheduled job, query the data dictionary table, as shown:

    SQL> SELECT * FROM user_scheduler_job_run_details WHERE
    job_name='OIM_MVIEW_LEGACY_MIG';
  8. When migration has been successfully completed, re-create the two indexes on the UPA_UD_MVIEW_STORE table, as shown:
    SQL> CREATE INDEX idx_upaud_mviewstore_forms_key ON
    upa_ud_mview_store(upa_ud_forms_key,upa_ud_formfields_key);
    SQL> CREATE INDEX idx_upaud_mv_store_showrep ON
    upa_ud_mview_store(showrep);
  9. Collect table statistics for the UPA_UD_MVIEW_STORE table.
    SQL> EXEC dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(USER, 'UPA_UD_MVIEW_STORE',
    cascade=>TRUE);
  10. Run the Refresh Materialized View scheduled job.
    This populates the required reporting tables with all the legacy data for the Fine Grained Entitlement Exception By Resource report.
  11. After the Refresh Materialized View scheduled job run completes, login to BI Publisher and navigate to the Fine Grained Entitlement Exception By Resource report. Enter the desired input, and click Apply.
    You can view all the legacy data in the Fine Grained Entitlement Exception By Resource report.
  12. Enable the Issue Audit Messages and Refresh Materialized View scheduled tasks.
  13. Disable PL/SQL diagnostic logging by setting the value of the OIM.DBDiagnosticLevelMviewMig system property to NONE.

21.5 Best Practices for Running Oracle Identity Governance Reports

Some of the best practices to be followed for Oracle Analytics Server reports include not running the reports with null value in date range parameters and running the reports with the set of values as input parameters to provide the selectivity.

As a best practice, you must consider the following points before running Oracle Analytics Server reports:

  • Do not run Oracle Identity Manager reports with null value in date range parameters. You must run Oracle Identity Manager reports always with date range values in data range parameters, otherwise report will not display anything.

  • Invoke the reports with the set of values as input parameters to provide the selectivity, thus improving the performance.

  • By default, the System Administrator user of Oracle Identity Manager has all the permissions to login to Oracle Analytics Server and access all the Oracle Identity Manager Reports.
