Clarification Adapter-Process task association

Question

Hi,
yet another basic question...
I have built my IT resource+resource object+adapters+provisioning process.
This is for study purpose.
The user get`s correctly created. What is now not clear to me is how can I tell
to OIM which process task to use for updating the user. The same for delete/
enable/disable.
I realize that this must be done in the lookup definition in the design console,
but do not now how. Can you please shed a light on this?
Thank you very much.

Hi
Edits are typically done on the process form of the resource by an admin. for example say some attribute e.g. First Name needs to be changed on the target system after provisoning (i.e. account creation).
You will need to create a conditional task (not required for completion) which has a name "First Name Updated".
OIM understands tasks that are named with the <attribute/field name> Updated (the attribute name must be the exact case as the field name in the process form)<space>Updated (notice "U" upper case) are special and you can attach any adapter (business logic) to make OIM do what you need it to do. In this case you will attach a modify adapter that will update the value of the corresponding field on the target system.
For Enable and Disable you will need to create a task with any name typically people use "Enable User" "Disable User" respectively but thats not necessary. Whats of essence is the task effect drop down on the "Edit Task" window of the task you created (Disable User or Enable User in this case), select the "Disables process or access to application" for disable user task and attach your adapter for disabling the account on the target system, and set the task to Object status mapping C as "Disabled".
For enable just select the Enables.... from the drop down and attach your adapter for enabling the account on the target system, and set the task to Object status mapping C as "Enabled".
For delete/revoke, you can create a task with any name e.g. Delete User but what you need to do is put this task in the undo/recovery of the "Create User" task or whatever task that creates the account e.g. Create User task.
hope this helps.
