Custom Webservice Using OIM APIs

Hi..
How can we create and publish a custom webservice from OIM APIs??
OOTB SPML Webservice does not support all my requirements.
Thanks...

The OOTB Web services are mostly asynchronous, so its not mostly suitable for our synchronous activity in OIM. like create,update,enable,disable etc
So in order to develop the webservices...
first of all list down all the methods which u need to publish.
Write Java code for each methods..
after that publish all methods as Webservices (JAX-WS) on Weblogic server where OIM is running.
After that you can access your custom webservices of OIM.
Regards,
J

Using OIM API

Hi All
First can we use OIM API from a PC where OIM Server/Design console is not installed?If so, how?
I have server running in a different PC in the same network.How do I connect from my PC to use OIM API.
Thank u
sas

It shouldn't matter whether you are invoking OIM APIs from standalone Java app or WebApp as long as you are able to create an instance of tcUtilityFactory. Once obtained the process remains same.
But if you are invoking APIs from JSP that is custom built but within same xlWebApp, then it gets trivial.
Thanks,

Custom WebServices in OIM

Hi
I have deployed Axis2 webservice(Bottom Up) using tomcat server. The client I have written contains 2 methods which will do some math operations.
Now I want to develop this webservice in OIM.
Please add/modify the steps to integrate this custom webservice in OIM.
1. Export the Client class and stubs to a jar file and place this jar into Java Tasks Folder.
2. Create Adapter for the Client class and map it accordingly.
3. Path to specify supported jar files(like axis2.jar,.....)
4. If any....
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
The exercise which I am doing is just printing "hello world" to the console.
It is more or less same as writing text to log file.
Now I can able to trace the error after looking at logs. OIM is expecting the class org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBBean.
Actually this class is in the jar file axis2-adb-1.4.1.jar and I already copied this jar file into OIM_HOME\ext and also in lib folder. Then I have restarted the server after copying the jar file.
I dont know the reason why I am getting this error. Below is the stacktrace in logs.

Custom report using KM API Error

Hi All,
I have to create a report using KM API. i got the custom report using KM API from sdn and I imported into my NWDS. While i compile it, it is giving me this error.
"The project cannot be build because the classpath for com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf.common.exception.ResourceException is not found."
I have imported all the required jar files.
How can i rectify this error? Could anyone help me out in this issue?
Regards,
Divya

Hi Divya,
> I have imported all the required jar files
First, I don't know what you mean with "imported" - in any case, you should not put the JARs into your project but just reference these.
Also, obviously you have not referenced all the required jar files; ResourceException is part of bc.rf.common_api.jar, which is part of portal application com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf, at least for NW2004s.
Please use the ClassLocator tool (search the WebLogs for this term to get some initial instruction) to avoid such questions in the future. It will make your life much easier.
Hope it helps

How do we create a self registration request , using OIM API , with and without challenge questions?

Well try this piece of code. This might be similar to yours but it worked perfectly for me. For you the error might be the attribute names which you are passing, it should be the one dfined in the FormMetaData xml as below.
     import Thor.API.tcUtilityFactory;
     // define you class below
     ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting config = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
     final Hashtable env = config.getAllSettings();
     Hashtable quesAns = new Hashtable();
     HashMap user = new HashMap();
     user.put("Users.User ID", "SelfTesting");
     user.put("Users.First Name", "SelfTesting");
     user.put("Users.Last Name", "SelfTesting");
     user.put("Users.Email", "[email protected]");
     user.put("Users.Password", "SelfTesting");
     user.put("ConfirmPassword", "SelfTesting");
     tcUtilityFactory.createRegistrationRequest(env, user, quesAns);
And for the query of challenge QnA, these are the following combinations possible:
1) Property Does user have to provide challenge information during registration set to TRUE
- During self-registration from web console, it will show you Challenge Questions section on the right. If you do not select any questions, it will thow you an error there itself.
- Doing it from API will create no difference(even if you pass a blank HashTable). The request will be created successfully and on completion when the user tries to login, it will ask for Security QnA.
2) Property Does user have to provide challenge information during registration set to FALSE
- During self-registration from web console, it doesn't show you Challenge Questions section on the right. The request will be created successfully and on completion when the user tries to login, it will ask for Security QnA.
- Doing it from API, you will have to pass a blank HashTable as in above code. The request will be created successfully and on completion when the user tries to login, it will ask for Security QnA.
Hope it works.
Thanks

Request Approval using OIM API

Hi all
Which API I need to use to approve a resouce request using OIM API?
I have tried with the following:
tcReqOp.setRequestResponse(85, 1 , "java.lang.String psResponse");
i do not know what to pass in place of java.lang.String psResponse.
I aslo tried passing "C","Completed"
can anyone correct what I am doing?
Thank u
sas

I assume you want to run a scheduled task for this. Try this approach. Run this query to retrieve specific approval tasks that are in a pending state:
select oti.sch_key, mil.mil_name, to_char(oti.oti_update, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
from oti, mil, obj, pkg, orc, sch
where oti.mil_key=mil.mil_key
and oti.pkg_key=pkg.pkg_key
and pkg.obj_key=obj.obj_key
and oti.orc_key=orc.orc_key
and oti.sch_key=sch.sch_key
and oti.sch_status='P'
and obj.obj_name='Test Object'
and pkg.pkg_type='Approval'
You can modify the obj.obj_name or remove, or do any changes you want. When you grab the time of the oti.oti_update, compare it against the sysdate to determine the time difference. If the update did not occur within that time, use this code:
provIntf = (tcProvisioningOperationsIntf)getUtilityOps("Thor.API.Operations.tcProvisioningOperationsIntf");
Hashtable taskHash = new Hashtable();
taskHash.put("Process Instance.Task Details.Data", "<Insert Response Value Here>");
provIntf.updateTask(key, taskHash) ; //---> Key is the same as the oti.sch_key field
I have not tried this, but give it a shot.

Using OIM APIs

I need to use OIM APIs from a third party web application.
I would like to know, would it be possible as our OIM server would be at a different m/c then the client web application.
So how would the settings be done in this case, as we set some system variables in the code for accessing the OIM APIs which include mentioning the path of Xellerate folder.
Kindly guide.

I have gone through this link, and have used OIM APIs earlier, but in that case both my code and the OIM server were running on the same m/c.
But now its a third party web app which wants to call OIM APIs, hence I would like to knw, how d following settings would be done.
System.setProperty("XL.HomeDir", "D:/NewOIM/xellerate");
System.setProperty("java.security.policy", "D:/NewOIM/xellerate/config/xl.policy");
System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", "D:/NewOIM/xellerate/config/authwl.conf");
System.setProperty("log4j.configuration", "D:/NewOIM/xellerate/config/log.properties");
System.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "t3://blrkec87910d:7001");
As uptil now I was giving the local location of these folders.
But now how would I give it?

Provisioning OIM user using OIM APIS

Hi All,
Could anyone help me out on how to provision a User using OIM APIS.
Thanks and Regards,
Vaasu.

public class GetGroups {
tcUtilityFactory utilFactory = null;
tcSignatureMessage moSignature = null;
tcUserOperationsIntf moUserUtility = null;
tcResultSet userResultSet,userSet = null;
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting myConfig = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
final Hashtable env = myConfig.getAllSettings();
Map v = new HashMap();
public void UserGroups(String userid) {
try {
System.out.println(" I am in TRY");
moSignature = tcCryptoUtil.sign("xelsysadm", "PrivateKey");
utilFactory = new tcUtilityFactory(env, moSignature);
moUserUtility =
(tcUserOperationsIntf) utilFactory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf");
v.put("Users.User ID", userid);
userSet = moUserUtility.findAllUsers(v);
long user_key = userSet.getLongValue("Users.Key");
System.out.println( " Group Name " + grpName );
} catch(Exception e){
e.getMessage();
Like that
moobjIntf =
*(tcObjectOperationsIntf) utilFactory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcObjectOperationsIntf");*
Map objmap =new HashMap(0;
objmap.put("Objects.Name", "AD User") \\ just hardcoding this AD User you can pass it as variable also
tcResultSet moResultSet = moobjIntf.findObjects(objmap);
long obj_key = moResultSet.getLongValue("Objects.Key");

How to get the service name of a webservice using UDDI API

Hi,
Iam working on setting up a dynamic partner link in a BPEL, by passing the endpoint of a web service queried from the UDDI (Oracle Service Registry 10.3 ) using the API. Iam able to do it successfully.
Now, for example I have two operations in my wsdl, one to createCustomer and the other to bookTicket. I need to get the operation name using UDDI API so that i can pass it along with the endpoint to the partner link. ie. When i need to createCustomer, my UDDI API code will need to get the service name createCustomer and the endpoint and I would pass them to the partnerlink and the createCustomer operation of my webservice would be called.
Can any one help me to get the service names of the wsdl using UDDI APIs.
Thanks,

How to install OID connector using OIM API in 11g?

Hi All,
We are using OID connector in OIM 11g environment. It is a simple process to install OID connector by unzipping the connector zip file to ConnectorDefaultDirectory and goto Admin console and load the connector.
However, we are looking for API methods to simulate "load the connector " step in GUI.
Please help.
Thanks
Mahendra.

Hey Mahendra,
I am not aware of this API to do the 'Deployment Manager' load task. But III try to help you using another way:
1-You can use ICF API to do this task(creating it specifically to OID). Using ICF: http://www.groenenberg.nu/Oracle_Doc/AS_11.1.1.5/doc.1111/e14309/icf.htm#BABFDJHJ
2- And following this example that my buddy did for Open DS: http://itnaf.org/2011/12/30/developing-icf-connectors/
Another helpful doc: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14309.pdf
I hope this helps,

OIM Client application development using OIM API, when user password is not available

I am developing a cleint application for OIM. The client application is a set of services, running on a separate server from where OIM is running.
The OIM version used is 11gR2.
As I look into the oimClient object, the login method takes username and password. As my application is in an SSO environment, I do not have the password for the user, and just have the user's login ID.
If I am correct, the tcUtilityFactory allowed a digital signature option, to support scenarios like the above.
Question is, does oimClient support similar functionality? I did not find any examples in the Oracle documentation.
I will appreciate if someone can confirm a similar usage and provide me some sample code and configuration details.
Thanks.

Problem while creating a custom document using JAVA API in the current Folder

I am trying to create an instance of a custome type from the API. I have created a custom type via XML. I have associated a JSP with the custom type thru iFS manager. This jsp provides an interface for the user to enter various data. On submit I call some other jsp also loaded into the /ifs/webui/jsps which calls a method in the java class to create an instance of the above mentioned type. This instance needs to be created in the current directory and not in the home directory of the user. I have written a java program which when run from JDeveloper connects to the repository and creates the object, but not as a foldered object. If I load this class into custom_classes directory, I get an exception. I am attaching the code also here which does the actual processing.

Please print out the Verbose Stack Trace generated when you run this application.
I suspect that you FolderPathResolver is not pointed at the directory you think it is. You might want to try printing out

Search a file in KM using a custom coding using KM APIs

Hi,
How can I search a file along with its verions in the KM repository using KM APIs?
Thanks,
Vamshi

Hi Vamshi,
maybe you could use the following Interface:
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/nw04s/current/km/com/sapportals/wcm/repository/manager/IPropertySearchManager.html
It has a method
execute(IQueryExpression query, IResource resource, int depth, int maxResults, boolean includeVersions)
which returns a IResourceList.
I hope this helps.
