Creating resource objects in OIM11g R1

Hi
I am trying to leverage the old OIM attestation subsystem to perform attestation. We need to attest on the specific roles inside of the standard ROs so my approach would be to create "virtual" resource objects where each RO represents a specific target system role.
As we will need around 700-1000 ROs I wanted to write a batch tool that would create the ROs as well as the attached process definition and process form.
For the process form there seems to be promising APIs in tcFormDefinitionOperationsIntf but I can't find any APIs for creating the RO nor for creating the process definition.
Has anyone tried anything similar?
Best regards
/Martin

I would suggest you create your sample resource object workflow. Export it using the deployment manager. Using the xml file, write a script to find and replace and generate all the xml files you need. You can either import them manually or use the deployment manager apis to import.
Or use Oracle Identity Analytics (OIA).

How to Create Resource Object in OIM through SQL queries or OIM APIs

Hello,
I have to create few (100) resource Objects in OIM. I was creating manually through Design console one by one. In future we might need to create many more Resource Objects .It takes lot of time if we do it through Manually.
Is there any possiblity we can create Resource Objects through SQL query or OIM APIs ???
Thanks!!

Yes. I do it all the time.
If you are using 11G 11.1.1.3
Go here
http://fredforester.org/code/xmlstarters/
Download the files.
RESCFORM.xml is an example resource built from the template
buildtemplate.sh is a shell script that creates a resource from the template
index.php - you dont need this
templateresource.xml - this is the template resource. it was created by building a simple resource with all its basic tasks and components then editing it and renaming things so I can find them with sed
to create Resource C you would
./buildtemplate.sh RESCFORM "Resc Resource" "Resc Process"
you would end up with a file called RESCFORM.xml where when imported would have
UD_RESCFORM
Resc Resource Resouce Defintion
Resc Process Process Defition with basic tasks pointing to a dummy adapter.
You can optionally create your own prepop so it will get assigned to the form when you import.
Good luck

Instead of creating new resource, recon is updating the same resource object for a user

Hi,
I created a DB target recon in OIM 11g. I ran recon and it created resource object. Resource is visible in Accounts tab.Now, I added one more entry with different description in DB. I ran the recon again. This time, instead of creating new resource object, recon linked it the same user with same resource object.
My requirement is to create as many resource object as there are entries in DB table. The recon should not link all DB entries with same resource object in IDM. For every entry in DB, recon should create that many resource objects in accounts tab of user.
Please let me know how to achieve the same.

Kalpana.

Special character issue with Resource Object in OIM 11g

Hello
While creating Resource Object with special character '/' in OIM 11g, it's not allowing me.
For ex: Peoplesoft Finance/Reporting
Do we have any other workaround without changing the Resource Object name??
Thanks for your help.

Nothing is there in system configuration related to special character.

Any clues on how to create a resource object to push a user object into res

I am working on a situation where I have to push a user object via a resource object and not having assigned to the user (in other words not linked to the user).
any ideas?
My approach is some thing like this
IN the "user" object I do set all the attributes required per the resource definition
Here is the code snippet for resource object creation:
<Action name='create services resource object' process='Provision'>
<Argument name='op' value='createResourceObject'/>
<Argument name='object' value='$(user)'/>
<Argument name='objectType' value='user'/>
<Argument name='resourceId' value='UnixUIDServices'/>
</Action>

I by no means want to sound belittling... so don't take me that way..
You need to understand the basics of files, and networks. You can't check if a file exists on another machine if you don't have a network protocol to communicate with. The reason \\ works under windows is because you are using an invisible (to you) network protocol. You probably know it as windows sharing. If your file were not shared under it's own name, that method wouldn't work (I'm assuming your entire drive is shared without a password... a horrible security flaw...but one thing at a time)
You can use FTP protocol to check if a file exists. You can either send the raw text FTP commands through a socket connection in java, or you can use a freely available FTP java API to make it a bit more simple. You could also write a small java server on the other machine, and have it tell you what you need to know with a socket connection. In this way, you have created your very own network protocol.

How to create clone of exsiting Resource Object in OIM

Hi..I need a help here.
I have already one Resource object in OIM with all required mapping for Object reconciliation and Action rule.
I want to create clone of the same resource object with diffrent name and keep same Object reconciliation and reconciliation Action mapping in OIM.
How can i do that
Thanks !!

Take the export of this Resource Object.
Do changes in the XML like resource Object Name, Form Names, Process Defintion, Email Template (if required)
Save it and import it back into OIM.
Note: Take export of independent Lookups or any configuration which you are using in existing Resource Object.

The Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects

Recently our Clients have updated to Windows 7 and IE8. we are having issues to view the Reports in Infoview.
The web server operating server is Windows 2003, Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and BOE R2 SP2 is installed in it. Activex Viewer is downloading fine in client machine having Windows XP OS (IE Version is 7) but for the same url ActiveXViewer.cab is not getting downloaded in Windows 7 Enterprise (IE Version is 8). It throws the error u201CThe Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects.u201D
Does BOE R2 SP2 support on IE8?
Thanks

Tested Windows 7 And IE8 browser to view Reports in Infoview for different user preference setting.
1.       Active X Viewer u2013 Fails to open in View Mode and errors out with message as u201CThe Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objectsu201D
2.       DHTML Viewer u2013 Could able to open/export/print the Report.
3.       Advance DHTML Viewer - Could able to open/export/print the Report .
4.       Java Viewer u2013 Could able to open/export/print the Report, but noticed the fonts are overlapping.

Creating Multiple Resource Objects for OOTB Connectors

All,
I am trying to create a second AD User resource object for the OOTB connector. I would like to think that the AD Connector (and all connectors, for that matter) was designed to handle the creation of multiple Resource Objects for the same Resource Types, but am I wrong? It doesn't seem like the OIM Connector can handle this easily.
Has anyone created multiple resource objects for a connector? Is this a fairly simple task, or will it require a large effort? Is it even possible? Any pointers?
Thanks!

I will provide a little help with the duplication. I found the best way to do it is to import the original connector. Go through the different pieces making each one have a unique name, that is not part of any of the other piece names. You need to have unique names for the following:
1. Resource Object
2. Process Definition - Provisioning
3. IT Resource
4. Form - Process
5. Scheduled Task
After you import the connector, rename each of the following to something unique. I would also update your process form to have a default value of your IT Resource, as well as your scheduled task values to point to the new unique names. Export the 5 items, no dependecies. The adapters will all be the same. Use find and replace for the values and then import the new XML. If it works, duplicate the XML for each of the new workflows you want to create.

"Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects"

I'm using Crystal Reports Server XI and getting the error/pop up box: "Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects" when trying to view a report through the website.
Any suggestions would be appreiciated. I'm very unfamiliar with Crystal Reports but it's fallen into my lap to install and suppor this application.
I have tried changing some browser settings to allow ActiveX content and such but that hasn't seemed to help. I also tried downloading a particular 3 .dll's files to my desktop and registering them, as well as re-registering them on the server. They were CRVIEWER.dll, swebrs.dll, sviewhlp.dll.
I'm using IE 7.0 and CR Server XI is installed in a Windows 2003 R2 SE server. IIS seems to be setup OK. I haven't changed any of the default installation settings that were configured during the installation on the virtual directory that was created. I received no errors during the installation. I'm also not seeing anything obvious pop up in the event logs. I still have yet to do a log parser query looking for anything that says crystal reports.
Thanks!

Hi Wendy,
This issue might be better addressed by our .NET development forum, however, some of the things that come to mind are:
1. As a test are you able download the Active X Viewer from the client machine by accessing it via a URL:
http:// <yourserver>/crystalreportviewers/ActiveXControls/ActiveXViewer.cab
Does it prompt you do download the .CAB file?
2. If you have more than one version of the Active X Viewer installed on the client machine, go through this SAP Note (1215398) from the Service Market Place to remove it.
3. Check your browser settings (Tools|Security|Custom Level) to make sure Active Controls are set to at least prompt.
4. Confirm with your network administrator if there are group policies that restrict the installation of Active X Controls or if users do not have the rights to install.

Not able to see newly created dummy resource object in OIM admin console.

Hi,
Created a new IT resource type and IT resource.Next created a new resource object "ResourceABC" and provided Allow all and Self Request Allowed option. However, still am able to see the resource object "ResourceABC" in the list of resources(when user selects Provision resource template) during self service or request for others.
Please let me anything I have missed during resource object creation. I guess issue is at the resource object level.
Note: It is a dummy resource object.
Thanks.

I have selected the check box for Allow All and Self Request. With regard to assign the resource by going to each organization, I believe is to provision the resource to all users in under that organization. But I want end user to request for this resource with self service console for self/others. But resource is not showing up in the list of resources.
Kindly help.
Thanks.

How can I get the value of a custom property from a resource object?

I am trying to get the value(s) of a custom property, called "status" within a method. The method has an object of type IResource available to it.
I have tried the following:
PropertyName propName = new PropertyName("","status");
value = res.getProperty(propName).toString();
However, I am getting a NullPointerException when I try to create the PropertyName instance.
Is there a better way to get the value of a specific property from a resource object?
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks Praveen.
I was missing the default namespace of "http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm" - I thought I could just pass an empty string for the namespace, but it looks like I must always specifiy, even if it is default.

Duplicate Resource Objects are displayed while provisioning the resource

Duplicate Resource Objects are displayed while provisioning the resource to organization after creating a new workflow through export and import process.
A workfolw already exists in the environment and I am trying to replicate the work flow with a different name . So i import all the components related to provisioning workflow rename the names of the components and make the necessary changes and import it back. after this I am getting Duplicate Resource Objects being displayed while provisioning the resource to organization .plz help.its urgent

I have tried this process thrice not able to solve this problem ......unchecking allow multiple ..i don t think matters as this is provisioning to org ...n what i am telling is the list from which u select the resources to be provisioned --that list shows duplicate resource object names at a time..Each time I import an xml the number of same resource object names being displayed in the list increases ...So If I have imported three workflows then (say Resorce Object AD) appears thrice in the list. I have not given the resource objects same name in all the workflows for this to happen

Resource object not showing while provisioning a User

Simple task but I am not able to fix this.
I have a dummy resource whcih I created for some testing.However I am not able to see this resource when I try to provision a user to this resource.
Any Ideas?
FYI:.I have checked Allow SelfService,Allow All,Alow Multiple and Autolaunch check boxes
Thanks
-Mahi

I have created a simple provisioning process for this..the process defination is of type approval .In there created a new task called "Manager Approval and in assigment assigned it to user's manager.
I have already selected the resource object in the Object Name field.
OIMUSER007...Do I really need to create a seperate IT Resource in this case?
Its just a simple application like eg "WATCH"..
Actually,
I had earlier implemented this resource with Process Deffination as *provisioning*..
Now I wanted to implement the workflow for this..For this Since I cant delete the process deffination..what I did I assigned the earlier process deff(provisioning to some other resource object(test) and created a new process deff(Approval) for this...
