Available attributes in OIM 11g notifications

We have been using the new notifications templates in oim11g following the descriptions as given in the blog post below.
http://fusionsecurity.blogspot.com/2011/07/oim-11g-notifications.html
This is how an event is specified:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<Events xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../notification/metadata/NotificationEvent.xsd">
<EventType name="ApprovalTaksOpenEvent">
<StaticData>
<Attribute Name="usrLogin" DataType="X2-Entity" EntityName="User"/>
</StaticData>
<Resolver class="oracle.iam.request.notification.CustomResolver">
<Param Name="usrLogin" DataType="X2-Entity" EntityName="Request"/>
</Resolver>
</EventType>
</Events>
Basically we found that wat is in the StaticData part is show in the notification template interface as Available data (in the above example all user attributes are shown). Now my question is it somehow possible to have any attribute show in the Available Data section of an Notification Template. It would be create if "business" users don't have to "guess" which placeholders are available for a certain notification template. I already tried the variant below but it did not have the desired result.
<StaticData>
<Attribute Name="somePlaceHolder" DataType="String"/>
</StaticData>
Greetings
Bas
Edit-> As per documentation it should be possible to do this with the non static data, I will investigate it furter

You can open the jar file with a decompiler and just view the NotificationResolver class and see what attributes are being sent to it.

Export User Attributes in OIM 11g

Hi,
Can anyone let me know how to export User defined attributes in OIM 11g (11.1.1.5)? I couldn't find option in export manager for user defined fields (as in 9.x version).

Use "User UDF" instead of "Resource". You will get something like the following:

How to find history of changes of organization attributes in OIM 11G?

Hello.
I need to find fistory of all changings in organization attributes, chould you help me to find, what table can i use for it?
I use OIM 11G and oracle database 11.2.0.

Hello, Thank you for your answer.
I mean modification of an organization such as changing of the organization name, status, etc. As i understand your previous answer, there is no table that keeps such information. Is it right?
If it is right, how can I find it?
Should I make any triggers or can i find informations in another way?

Enable SMTP debug for OIM 11g notifications

Hi,
OIM 11g here. I am trying to set up reset password notification, but no way. I would like to know how to enable the debug mode to see what SMTP commands are issued towards the mail server. I have already trying setting to TRACE:32 the logger class oracle.iam.notification, but didn't help
thanks in advance.
Alex

Rajiv,
that's exactly what I have tried, i created an IT Resource (Mail server type) with authentication=false, no user/password (the server allows unauthenticated connections) and the hostname of the SMTP server (reachable, no firewall in between). The IT Resource name is the same one that i have specified in the system properties. That's all and it didn't work. No error, only something like "mail notification not successful". That's why I am asking a way to see the SMTP commands issued by OIM.

Gmail settings to send OIM 11g Notifications

Hi
I would like to send custom email notifications when user is created in OIM11g. I am planning to use Gmail to send noitifications.
Below are the connection details I've given for Mail Server IT Resource.
Authentication : yes
Server Name : smtp.gmail.com:587
User Login : [email protected]
User Password : *************
But when i tried to test connection in IT Resource, it says "Could not establish the connection to the Mail Server."
I even tried with 465 port but no luck. Does anyone configured Gmail Server to send notifications(not using SOA server).
Thanks!

If you want to test just the mailing features then you can use Test Mail Server tool. It is very light weight component and easy to install.
http://www.toolheap.com/test-mail-server-tool/
Once Installed, open Mail Server IT Resource and provide values for Server Name and Authentication as No.
This should trigger you notifications for testing.

OIM 11g - Renaming an UDF attribute

Hi,
May I know how i can rename a custom defined user attribute in OIM 11g?.Thanks.

878153 wrote:
Thanks BB.My requirement is to renamed a UDF which I have created.For example,I created a UDF with labee "Mobile" and want to change it to "Telephone" .May I know how I can achieve this?.If you want to define the label for your attribute in GUI, then use resource bundles to define the label for your label:
$OIM_ORACLE_HOME//server/customResources/customResources_<your language>.properties
Add the global.udf. prefix to the name of the attribute.
Otherwise, you will have to create a new attribute and delete the old one.

Installing OIM 11g on windows XP

I am a complete newbie to OIM.
Is there a document available for installing OIM 11g on windows XP?
Also can we use sunone directory server as the LDAP server with OIM?
-Arnold

Thanks a lot.
That was really helpful.
Need bit of help on Oracle Identity manager (IDM). We have installed IDM on windows and when we wanted to configure domain and configure the managed server instances (in weblogic server) by clicking config.bat from common/bin, we were not able to see the Identity manager instance in the list. What could be the reason?
Should IDM be part of same domain as webcenter spaces? When we were trying to work with sapces it was expecting oracle identity server to be running.
When installing the identity manager it was asking oracle home. Does that mean oracle db has to reside on the machine where IDM is installed? Could be this be affecting the IDM instance not appearing in the list?

OIM 11g: Adding a new tag to notification template

Hi:
OIM 11g comes with some pre-defined notification templates, like 'Generated Password Template', 'Reset Password Template'.
You can see those thru the admin console, System Management, Notifications.
I would like to add a new Tag to one of those notifications, like 'Generated Password'. It currently includes the User Login and Password. I would like to include the User Name to the notification Body.
Can I do this?? How can I accomplish this??
I try to edit the template, and in the documentation, they mention the Event Name and Available variables. I don't see this 'Available Variables' to select from when I edit the notification template.
I am using OIM 11g 11.1.1.5.
Thank you for your help..

Modify the OOTB notification Template for including a few extra attributes
-Identify the template and the event type which you want to modify. For example let’s assume we will modify the OOTB ‘Request Creation’, the corresponding xml for this event type is in the following MDS path:
\metadata\iam-features-request\notification\RequestCreationEvent.xml
Note: The path as specified in the OIM11G documentation might be incorrect
-Modify this xml to point to a custom resolver class as follows:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<Events xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../notification/metadata/NotificationEvent.xsd">
<EventType name="RequestCreation">
<Resolver class="com.iam.notification.CustomNotificationResolver">
<Param Name="Request" DataType="X2-Entity" EntityName="Request"/>
</Resolver>
</EventType>
</Events>-Import the xml back to the MDS database
-Create a jar (custom resolver class) and a plugin.xml, bundle them up as a zip and register the plug-in using ‘ant/API’s’ as you want
-Modify the OOTB notification templates as required
-Send email to verify if your changes are being reflected
You can create your own customized templates based on the OOTB one but the ‘Resolver Class’ would not be able to pick up this new template because the only purpose of the resolver class is to override a couple of methods (‘getAvailableData’ & ‘getReplacedData’), so that you can add some extra attributes to be read in your template, but the ‘Template Name’ remains the same as it is hard-coded.
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import oracle.iam.notification.impl.NotificationEventResolver;
import oracle.iam.notification.vo.NotificationAttribute;
public class CustomNotificationResolver implements NotificationEventResolver {
     public List<NotificationAttribute> getAvailableData(String eventType, Map<String, Object> params) throws Exception {
          return null;
     public HashMap<String, Object> getReplacedData(String eventType, Map<String, Object> params) throws Exception {
          HashMap<String, Object> resolvedData = new HashMap<String, Object>();
         resolvedData.put("requestId", params.get("RequestId"));
         resolvedData.put("requestType", params.get("RequestType"));
         resolvedData.put("userId", params.get("UserId"));
         resolvedData.put("userName", params.get("Name"));
         resolvedData.put("baseUrl", params.get("BaseURL"));
         resolvedData.put("myCustomField1", "myCustomField1");
         resolvedData.put("myCustomField2", "myCustomField2");
         resolvedData.put("myCustomField3", "myCustomField3");
          return resolvedData;
}Credits to Sunny for coming up with the solution. Since he seems busy, I took the liberty of posting his solution here.

OIM 11g High Availability Deployment

Hi Experts,
I'm deploying OIM 11g in High Available schema, following Oracle docs: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/core.1111/e10106/imha.htm#CDEFECJF, I have succesfully installed and configured OIM & SOA in weblogic domain on 'OIMHOST1', trying to propagate the configuration from 'OIMHOST1' to 'OIMHOST2' I have packed (using pack.sh) the domain on 'OIMHOST1' and unpacked (using unpack.sh) it to 'OIMHOST2' so I have updated the NodeManager executing setNMProps.sh and finally Ihave started the NodeManager. In order to Test everything is fine and following the documentation I'm traying to perform the following steps, but I'm not succeed
I'M MUST TO SAY THAT I'M RUNNING ON SINGLE STANDARD EDITION DB INSTANCE AND NOT RAC AS MENTIONED IN ORACLE DOCS, PLEASE CLARIFY IF RAC IS REQUIRED, FOR NOW I'M IN DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT, SO I THINK RAC IS NOT REQUIRED FOR NOW, PLEASE CLARIFY
8.9.3.8.3 Start the WLS_SOA2 and WLS_OIM2 Managed Servers on OIMHOST2
Follow these steps to start the WLS_SOA2 and WLS_OIM2 managed servers on OIMHOST2:
Stop the WebLogic Administration Server on OIMHOST2. Use the WebLogic Administration Console to stop the Administration Server.
Start the WebLogic Administration Server on OIMHOST2 using the startWebLogic.sh script under the $DOMAIN_HOME/bin directory. For example:
/u01/app/oracle/admin/OIM/bin/startWebLogic.sh > /tmp/admin.out 2>1&
Validate that the WebLogic Administration Server started up successfully by bringing up the WebLogic Administration Console.
Here its not possible start AdminServer on OIMHOST2, first of all, it looks like boot.properties file under WLS_OIM_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminSever/security is not valid, the first time I try to execute startWeblogic.sh script, it ask for username/password, I have updated boot.properties (vi boot.properties) and manually set clear username and password, this time startWeblogic.sh script passed this stage, but fails:
<Error> <util.install.help.BuildMasterHelpSet> <BEA-000000> <IOException ioe java.io.IOException: No such file or directory>
<Error> <oracle.adf.share.config.ADFMDSConfig> <BEA-000000> <MDSConfigurationException encountered in parseADFConfigurationMDS-01330: unable to load MDS configuration document

MDS-00503: The metadata path "/u01/app/oracle/product/Middleware/user_projects/domains/IDMDomain/sysman/mds" does not contain any valid directories.
I have verified that this directory "mds" does not exists, as reported by the IOException, in OIMHOST2, but it exists in OIMHOST1. from here its not possible for me following Oracle's documentation, I test this starting Adminserver in OIMHOST1, and starting WLS_SOA2 and WLS_OIM2 managed servers from OIMHOST1 AdminServer console, I have tested 2 ways:
1.- All managed servers in OIHOST1 are shutdown, for this, managed servers in OIMHOST2 works as expected
2.- All managed servers in OIMHOST1 are RUNNING, for this, first I have started SOA2 managed server, after that, I have fired OIM2 managed server, when it finish boot process the following message appears in server's output:
<Warning> <org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.JobStoreCMT> <BEA-000000> <This scheduler instance (servername.domainname1304128390936) is still active but was recovered by another instance in the cluster. This may cause inconsistent behavior.>
Start the WLS_SOA2 managed server using the WebLogic Administration Console.
Start the WLS_OIM2 managed server using the WebLogic Administration Console. The WLS_OIM2 managed server must be started after the WLS_SOA2 managed server is started.
8.9.3.9 Validate the Oracle Identity Manager Instance on OIMHOST2
Validate the Oracle Identity Manager Server instance on OIMHOST2 by bringing up the Oracle Identity Manager Console using a web browser.
The URL for the Oracle Identity Manager Console is:

Hi Vaasu,
I have succeeded deploying OIM in HA, just now my customer and I are working on the installation of webtier. Now I have a better understand about HA concepts and the way weblogic works -really nice, but little tricky-
All the magic about HA is configuring properly the network interfaces in each Linux boxes (our case) so, first of all you need to create 2 new floating IP's on each Linux boxes (google: how to create virtual Ip in linux, if you don't know) clone and modify your 'eth0' network script to create the virtual IPs
Follow the procudere in the HA guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/core.1111/e10106/imha.htm#CDEFECJF
create DB schemas with RCU
install weblogic
install SOA
patch SOA
install IAM
---if you are working on a virtual machine is good idea to take a snapshot here---
Create and configure the weblogic domain (special attentention whe configuring the cluster), see step 13 of 8.9.3.2 Creating and Configuring the WebLogic Domain for OIM and SOA on OIMHOST1, here you need to cofigure:
For the oim_server1 entry, change the entry to the following values:
Name: WLS_OIM1
Listen Address: the IP that is confured in eth0:1 of Linux box1
Listen Port: 14000
For the soa_server1 entry, change the entry to the following values:
Name: WLS_SOA1
Listen Address: the IP configure on eth0:2 of Linux box1
Listen Port: 8001
For the second OIM Server, click Add and supply the following information:
Name: WLS_OIM2
Listen Address: the IP configured on eth0:1 of Linux box2
Listen Port: 14000
For the second SOA Server, click Add and supply the following information:
Name: WLS_SOA2
Listen Address: the IP configured on eth0:2 of Linux box2
Listen Port: 8001
Click Next.
On Step 16 ensure you are using the UNIX tab to configure the machines, also ensure that for machine1 you use the IP configured on the eth0 interface of Linux box1, the same for machine2
please confirm you have performered 8.9.3.3.2 Update Node Manager on OIMHOST1
if everything is ok you must be able to start the AdminServer as described in the guide.
configure OIM: 8.9.3.4.2 Running the Oracle Identity Management Configuration Wizard, in my case I don't need LDAPsync, I have skipped this section, if you configure properly OIM, then you mus perform 8.9.3.5 Post-Configuration Steps for the Managed Servers
resrtar AdminServer then from the weblogic console, start OIM and SOA if node manager is properly configured SOA and OIM must run properly, update deployment mode and coherence as described in the guide and verify that OIM run perfectly in Linux box1.
Propagate OIM from Linux box1 to Linux box2 as described in the guide, using pack and unpack (you MUST use the same filesystem directory structure on both Linux boxes)
Update and start NodeManager as described in the guide
VERY IMPORTAN OBSERVATION
the guide say:
8.9.3.8.3 Start the WLS_SOA2 and WLS_OIM2 Managed Servers on OIMHOST2
Follow these steps to start the WLS_SOA2 and WLS_OIM2 managed servers on OIMHOST2:
Stop the WebLogic Administration Server on OIMHOST2. Use the WebLogic Administration Console to stop the Administration Server.
JUAN OBSERVATION:
IS NOT POSSIBLE TO START OR STOP ADMINSERVER ON HOST2 SINCE ADMIN SERVER WERE CONFIGURED TO LISTEN ON THE IP ADDRES OF eth0 INTERFACE ON HOST1, SO, ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO PLAY IT ON HOST2, I THINK AND ADDITIONAL PROCEDURE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED TO CONFIGURE ADMINSERVER IN HA IN A ACTIVE-PASSIVE MODE
Start the WebLogic Administration Server on OIMHOST2 using the startWebLogic.sh script under the $DOMAIN_HOME/bin directory. For example:
/u01/app/oracle/admin/OIM/bin/startWebLogic.sh > /tmp/admin.out 2>1& -----NOT APPLICABLE
Validate that the WebLogic Administration Server started up successfully by bringing up the WebLogic Administration Console. -----NOT APPLICABLE
Start the WLS_SOA2 managed server using the WebLogic Administration Console. ----START SOA2 FROM THE CONSOLE RUNNING ON HOST1, IT DOESN'T MATTER
Start the WLS_OIM2 managed server using the WebLogic Administration Console. The WLS_OIM2 managed server must be started after the WLS_SOA2 managed server is started. ------ START OIM2 FROM THE CONSOLE RUNNING ON HOST1
HERE YOU MUST BE ABLE TO LOGIN TO OIM2 SERVER AS DESCRIBED IN THE GUIDE, YOU DON'T NEED TO EXECUTE config.sh SCRIPT THIS SHOULD WORK AS DESCRIBED.
Server migration should work straight-forward if you have configured the floating IPs as described, I have not configured the persistence yet since my customer does not have the skills to share a storage.
I hope this helps, and feel free to comment or complement.
By the way, did you know how to set up a valid SSL certificate in Windows 2003 server??? I need it to test and Exchange 2007 I'm tryin to integrate

Sending email notifications in oim 11g approval flow dynamically

Hi,
I have 4 level approval workflow in oim 11g and developed custom composite to get all the approver ids and and assigning these ids into 4 variables.
And used these variables in my custom 4 level sequential workflow. This workflow is working fine. Now I need to update this composite to send email notifications to the approver. So updated code to retrieve email ids and to store them in 4 more vairables. I cannot send all emails at a time thru the code. I need to send email only to the corresponding approver only when the flow reaches to that particular level.
Subject and body will be same but the email address will vary.
Can you please let me know the step by step process to implement notifications to these many levels.
If you think, this is not correct approach (storing all email ids in variables and then sending notifications), please let me know correct approach.
Thanks,
Mary

The way to do it would be to put your human task inside a while loop. This while loop would set a variable to the approver's userid and would continue till all the four approve it. In your human task you need just one approver and that would be the variable which the while loop sets.
If you do it this way, then you can use the OOTB notification tab in the .task and select the 'Assignee' as the email notification receiver and you won't have to worry about getting the email ids as well.
As for the current approach which you have, that is of using the sequential approvers in the human task, I haven't tried it, but just try setting the notification tab in the .task to 'Assignee' and event 'On Assignment'. That should do it as well.

OIM 11g - Mail Notification for multiple resources

User will be provisioned to 5 target system through access policies.So instead of sending 5 different mail notifications to the manager on the Create User task about the account creation, is it possible to send one consolidated mail about the provisioned resources in OIM 11g.

Hi,
How abt for the following requirement for sending single mail for multiple resources provisioned.
We have 3 Access Policies which is defined as follows.
1) Policy 1 -> R1,R2,R3 Resources
2) Policy 2 -> R3,R5 Resources
3) Policy 3 -> R1,R4 Resources
In such a case we will not be able to put dependencies on Resources and adding a task for sending email.

Email notifications for multi level approvals in OIM 11g

Hi,
I am using OIM 11g.
And in my current environment, we have 4 levels of approvals and need to send a different type of email notification in every level to the corresponding approver.
Can you please let me know how to implement this in SOA composite. first two approvals are sequential and the remaining two approvals are parellel.
Thanks,
Swathi

You have to use combination of switch and if task. In if block you have provide the condition. This conditon will be predicted over some variable. This variable you will set in payload where approver will be decide.
You can have multiple mail notification or you can set the body content dynamically(set the variable data in payload where the approver is being manipulated) use this variable in body content.

Sending email to user using the notification template in OIM 11g

Hi all
I have created a Notification Template using web console in OIM 11g.
Iam able to access the contents from notification template in my java code.
But iam not able to find the correct api's to send email to user using the notification template
(like tcEmailNotificationUtil using this class we can connect to email template created in design console and creating IT resourse we can send email to user using the method sendEmail).
Waiting for your help and pointers
Thanks and Regards
Bipin patil

Thanks GP!.
But i have the same doubt here.
"The Notification Event is defined through a XML file that must be loaded into MDS database." - in which path and in what name it should be.
Because under /metadata/iam-features-notification, i couldnt see any event Xml present. I thought atleast we could see the existing OOB notification template's event xml files.
Please let me know if you are aware.
Thanks,
Amudha

Without IT resource email Server config notification triggering in OIM 11g

Hello Experts
Its strange, in some of our environment. We haven't given any value for email server IT resource but still we are getting notification after user creation and so on. Not sure whether any default mail server comes with OIM 11g. We checked with environment team they are saying there is no mail server configured in oracle enterprise linux box by them.
Could any one help us on this and provide your inputs ?
Thanks
DK

Where are you checking the emails ??
BTW , these notifications are OOTB and you turn them off by setting a System Property .
Its something like Recon.SEND_NOTIFICATION , set it to false .
But w/o email server , you shouldn't receive any email ..
Thanks
