Is there any workaround for Bug 6644652 ?

Question

Hi
This issue is documented in DBAppTables GTC Connector at Known issues:
"Bug 6644652
Reconciliation of account deletion is not supported. In other words, if a record is
deleted from the target database, then this deletion is not reconciled into Oracle
Identity Manager"
Is there any workaround that can be used ?
Thank You in advanced,
Ionut

EHLO!
Today I ALMOST finalized my delete-recon (is for AD objects, but I think it may work in many contexts). As the pals said, you have to use the createDeleteReconciliationEvent method from the operations API.
I had a big problem: I spent a day looking for a NullPointerException that was raised just when this method is called. I realized that there is not a problem itself, the exception was raised because I was launching from the Eclipse project! So, instead of develop all the stuff and then pass it to OIM, I had to maje the jar, put it into the ScheduleTask folder, and execute it with the Task Scheduler from the Design Console, or from the Admin Console.
For a brief:
1) make a class that extends com.thortech.xl.scheduler.tasks.SchedulerBaseTask
2) implement the execute() method
3) for creating the operator, you can call (tcReconciliationOperationsIntf)getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcReconciliationOperationsIntf") (getUility is inherited from SchedulerBaseTask)
4) Make some Map object, with key/value pairs. Keys have to be the same as they appear in the Reconciliation Fields of the Resource Object, and at least you have to put the required ones. Call the method, the first parameter is a String with the RO ("Xellerate User", "AD User", "Exchange", etc).
For example, you can make something like this:
               HashMap hm = new HashMap();
               hm.put("User ID", "drldap");
               hm.put("objectGUID", "12345679");
               try {
                    reconOps.createDeleteReconciliationEvent("AD User", hm);
               catch(Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace(System.out);
Hope it was helpful. Enjoy!
