Approvals for changes to a provisioned resource

I need to create an approval process for updating individual fields on the process form. The resource does not allow multiple accounts, so the option to update it doesn't seem possible. I know there is something I am missing here.
What is the best way to create an approval workflow for changes to an existing provisioned resource?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi,
OIM dosn't support approval based resource modification,this is one thing we are lacking in OIM but there are few way to over come this.Here is one solution that I can think of.
1.Create a dummy resource for example "OID Resource Modification".
2.Create the resource form which will have all field name which can be modified.
3.Let this field value flow into process form of OID Resource Modification.
4.Create your approval process for this resource.
5.Now in the provisioning process of OID Resource Modification you can have task which will update the process form of orignal resource.
6.You will be requesting this resource modification.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Self de-provision resource

Hi all.
I'm trying to get a Resource self de-provisioned from users, but I'm not able to reach this goal. The resource I'm using is without connectors, it is only a logical resource. Note that I've created approval policies to get auto approved (both at request and operational level) the "Self de-provision resource" template request raised, but after all the status of the request is always "Post Operation Processing Initiated".
Now, I would like to know how can I have a task in the provisioning process triggered after the approval process for a "Self de-provision resource" request type. Is this possible?
Thank you all for your help.
Regards,
Giuseppe.

Post Operation Processing Initiated status
After the actual requested operation is completed, if there exists any additional operation that needs to be executed as post-processing, the request engine moves the request to the Post Operation Processing Initiated stage, before initiating those operations. This happens after Operation Completed status.
it means the request is already approved and completed. but some task which is already initiated and same has to be completed. verify the open task if any task in pending status.

More or less you can use the following:
resultGetObjects = userOperationsIntf.getObjects(plUserKey);
            int countResultGetObjects = resultGetObjects.getRowCount();
            logger.debug("CommonProvisioning.updateProcessForm Object Count = " + countResultGetObjects);
            for (int j = countResultGetObjects; --j >= 0;) {
                resultGetObjects.goToRow(j);
                String objName = resultGetObjects.getStringValue("Objects.Name");
                String status = resultGetObjects .getStringValue("Objects.Object Status.Status");
                if (resourceObjName.equalsIgnoreCase(objName) && "Provisioned".equalsIgnoreCase(status)) {
                    prntPrvsndPrsInsKey = resultGetObjects .getLongValue("Process Instance.Key");
                     break;
            }HTH,

Changing Resource Order in Provisioned Resource Page

Hi,
Is is possible to change the order of the Resources which are getting displayed in Provisioned Resource Page.Let us say I have 2 resources A and B .I always wanted to A first and then B ,in the Provisioned resource page of that user.Any clue on how to achieve this?.Thanks in Advance.

I think Oracle has already provided this. Just click on Resource Name there it will sorted first A and then B.
If you want to sort in some other way then you'll have to write your custom code to do that.

PasswordField at request "Modify Provisioned Resource"

Hi, I'm using OIM 11g R1
I have a resource with a field Password (masked=true on the request dataset and PasswordField on the form).
When I do a request "Modify Provisioned Resource" without modify the field Password and modifiing just an other field, the request send the value "********" on the password field and this call the task "Passowd Updated".
How I fix it?
TKS

This is the code of my ModifyValidation plugin:
                            for (RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute attribute :
                                 requestBeneficiaryEntityAttributes) {
                                if (attribute.getName().equals("Login")) {
                                    String requestLogin = (String)attribute.getValue();
                                    validateLogin(requestLogin);
                                } else if (attribute.getName().equals("Password")) {
                                    String requestPassword = (String)attribute.getValue(); // Here, if I don't change the Password field, I get the value "********" instead of the old value of the password field
                                    validatePassword(requestPassword);
And if the request send the value "********" on the password field and this call the task "Passowd Updated" with this value...
I put que attribute masked="false" at this field on request Dataset and when I open the request, the field value already is "*********" and the value of the password field was "12121212".

BAPI for "Change Base Planning Object"

Hi
Is there any BAPI for "Change Base Planning Object" ( TC KKE2).
I need to change the Price of a Resource in the Cost Items for a Base Planning Object.
So if any one know the BAPI for this topic please let me know, and if possible send me your code also it will be really help full.

I didn't find a BAPI to do this. I had to do it by a Batch Input.

Approvals for transporting XI objects

Does anyone have documentation on how your companies are handling approvals for transporting XI objects? I need to prepare a change management document that will be SOX compliant and wanted to know how everyone else is handling approvals? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I know Satish has answered your question, but just to add some more info to it , have a look at this

From above link :
<i>Prerequisites
During the export, a packaged binary file is created in a directory defined on the repository server (or directory server). To import this file to another Integration Repository (or Integration Directory), you must manually copy it to an import directory (see below). <b>You require the appropriate authorizations to be able to access directories on the SAP Web Application Server.</b>

Business Role changes not being provisioned

Guys (and girls),
We're having the issue that whenever we change something to a business role in IdM 7.1 SP5, like adding or removing a technical role (SAP role) the change isn't provisioned to the system authomatically resulting in users not being updated.
The workarround now is to change a business role and then remove it from a user and add it to that user again. Works ok when you're dealing with only a few users but I'm not looking forward to the day our basic role needs updating.
Same thing goes for changing users telephone number or SNC name or the likes.
I'm not sure if the two issues are related but am I missing an assignment of a task somewhere?
Cheers,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
I think so, but a pretty simple one to fix.
I would do one of two things:
1. Put a MODIFY task on MXREF_MX_ROLE or whatever attribute you're holding roles in. Have this task do a role reconcilation.
2. As a part of the workflow, have a role reconciliation execute.
On the whole, I prefer the second option. Don't like adding baggage onto the MXREF attributes. Just keeps things running more efficiently.
By role reconciliation, I mean executing the functions/tasks needed to reassert the roles on the user. I think there's a built in scripting function to do this or you can automate the add/remove functionality you described in your message, holding the role MSKEYs in a temporary attribute.

BW: Change load of program/resources of the leads in BW.

Dear One's
Can any one Provide me the solution for the problem mentioned here below -
Due to the change of the export of the leads in Lotus Notes application to BW:
the loading of the lead program/resources in BW is not correct anymore.
Problem:
As per new data transfer from Lotus Notes to BW, changes of Leads, where
resources are made to zero, do not get transferred to BW.
Due to this old record continue to exist with resources > 0 even though it is
changed to "0" in Lotus Notes DB.
Your Question:
Whether it is possible to implement things similar to Invoice Months where old
months record if deleted in Lotus Notes side are made to have zero values in BW
even though they do not get transferred from Lotus Notes DB to BW side.
So if I understood the problem and your question correctly then the answer is
"Yes, it is feasible".

if its not getting transfered that means you always a point of time analysis. so see if you can delete option of infopackage at loading this will give the latest image as needed.
thanks

SWF panel listener for changed selection

In short, my question is as follows. Is it possible to create a listener which
detects when the current selection in the Flash authoring tool has changed,
and informs my SWF panel? This does not have to be a listener per se,
it can be some hand-crafted process which consumes some reasonable amount of processor time.
I describe my question more precisely below.
Suppose that I want to create an SWF extension panel for Flash (in Flash or Flex),
and I would like the panel to display a property of the object currently selected on scene
in the Flash IDE -- like the instance name of the object (if it exists).
I can use JSFL to detect the instance name of the selected object, and pass the string to the
SWF panel using call(), for instance. The problem is that I don't know how
to detect that the user has selected the object, or that the selection has changed.
Ideally, I would like to add an event listener that listens for such an action in the flash authoring tool.
However, using JSFL, this does not seem to be possible (I can only listen to events such as frame changed
or layer changed, but not selection changed).
I tried the following solutions:
1. Periodically check in JSFL whether the current selection has changed.
The problem is that in JSFL, there is no sleep function, or anything alike. The javascript
methods setInterval and setTimeout do not work in JSFL. Therefore, in order to periodically check for changes,
one must actively loop. This is extremely resource-consuming -- in fact, it hangs the flash IDE.
2. The periodic check can be triggered by the SWF panel itself. In actionscript, I can use setInterval to periodically
invoke the selection update function via JSFL. I have set the interval to 400 milliseconds, which gives a reasonably quick
reaction to changes. However, the functionality I want to implement is in fact more complicated than just retrieving the
instance name of the selected object. As a consequence, performing this operation every 400 milliseconds still consumes
too much processor time (the flash IDE consumes 30% of my processor time, even if the user doesn't do anything).
Therefore, I still would like to find a solution which does not use the processor when the user does not do anything in the Flash IDE.

I'm trying to do the same thing. Did you find a solution?

OIM: Hide provisioned roles/responsibilities in the modify provisioned resource request dataset

Hi,
We are provisioning Oracle E-Business Suite R12 through EBS UM connector. Is there a way where we can either hide the already provisioned EBS roles/responsibilities in the available list of roles/responsibilities or move these under Selected Responsibilities and make them non-editable ? I couldn't find a way to do that in the Modify Provisioned Resource E-Business Suite Request Dataset. Please advise
Thanking in Advance
Abir

1. End user raising the request is able to view the process form, I need to restrict few attributes i.e. position and responsiblity should not be visible to end userEnd user will see Application Instance Form and you can customize the UI to hide attributes
2. Position and Responsibility should be provided by approver (this is specified in request data set of provision resource)
Make your Java Code/Beans/Expression to show/hide attributes conditionally.
3. As per Oracle document there is no request data set for PROVISION and MODIFY resource. What is the replacement for this?Application Instance Form
4. After Request is raised it has been assgined to xelsysadm, how do i control the approval ?Approval Policies
