Customize Process Task notification

Our goal is to send a notification to group of users (members of a Role) when a Siebel Account is successfully created.
To accomplish this task we used the legacy feature of OIM to send notification by doing the following:
- create a custom Email Definition of Type = "Provisioning Related" using OIM Design Console - Process Management - Email Definition
- add the above Email Definition to the provisioning task using OIM Design Console - Process Management - Process Definition - Siebel Process - Tasks - Create User - Notification
This works as expected except the following issues:
1. the Email Definition contains more than one field of type Date that are shown in English format (e.g. June 8, 2012) we would like to parse date values in a different format (e.g 2012-06-08).
We have already tried to change the Email Definition attributes Language/Region from values "en/US" to "it/IT" but the notification stops to be sent until we rollback to original values "en/US"; is this a know bug or a miss configuration?
In any case, is the Language/Region related to the date format?
2. some attribute values in the Email Definition should be "transformed"
Any suggestion how solve the above issues?
As a workaround we coded a Java Plugin that sends email notifications (in this case we are able to write the email content as we want) and trigger this Plugin by an Event Handler but only for events related to the OIM User (CRETE/MODIFY/DELETE/etc..); we have no idea how trigger the same Plugin/Event Handler for the Siebel Account events. Is it possible? How?
Thanks and regards,
Gabriele.

To "trigger the notification task (new task) upon Sucess response code of Siebel create user task" you mean:
- create a Java Plugin with all the code needed to create and send the email notification?
- create an Adapter of type Process Task that triggers the above Java Plugin passing all the required variables?
- create a new Process Task that trigger the above Adapter and maps all the defined variables?
- finally, set the above Process Task as of the original Create User Process Task?
Is this correct? Did I miss some steps? Did you tried it?
Thanks,
Gabriele.

Process tasks notifications

Hello,
in the design console, we can send notifications to assignee, requester, user and user's manager.
Is there any way to send notifications to other people? a (dynamic) group for instance?
Or should I write my own adapter which would call some custom code to send the email?
Thanks.

Hello,
ok, looks indeed a better way than custom mail. however, if I create a task and assign it to a dynamic list of users (through java code adapter), won't that task be considered as a provisioning task? I don't want these users to go to OIM UI to do anything at that moment...
Is there any sample code for a java code adapter of task assignment type?
also, until now and your message, I didn't understand that the "adapter" column in the assignment tab of process task was there to provide custom assignees (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e14309/promgt.htm#BCEJHFBF does not explain it...)
thanks!

OIM 11g R1 - Modifying a Resource Erases Custom Process Task ???

I've created a Generic Resource in OIM that uses the Database Applications Table connector 9.1.0.5.0.
Then I add my own process tasks through Design Console under "Process Management -> Process Definitions". On each custom process task I've attached my own custom adapters, which I created through "Development Tools -> Adapter Factory" in Design Console. These custom adapters use methods from my Java code. My Java jar file is located in "Oracle_IDM1/server/JavaTasks".
Now here is the issue:
Whenever I modify this resource in OIM under "Configuration -> Manage Generic Connector" (E.g Changing reconciliation type from Full to Incremental), all my custom process tasks get deleted.
What is the reason for this? Is there a solution for this problem?

This is indeed a major flaw for GTC. Below I found this issue in a Oracle doc.
Doc Link: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14309/aptrouble.htm
Below is a description of this issue from the Oracle documentation
Summary:
Customization work done on objects of a generic technology connector would be overwritten if you perform a Manage Generic Technology Connector operation.
Description:
You can use the Design Console to customize connector objects that are automatically created during generic technology connector creation. However, after you customize connector objects, if you perform a Manage Generic Technology Connector operation, then all the customization done on the connector objects would be overwritten. Therefore, Oracle recommends that you to apply one of the following guidelines:
Do not use the Design Console to modify generic technology connector objects.
The exception to this guideline is the IT resource. You can modify the parameters of the IT resource by using the Design Console. However, if you have enabled the cache for the GenericConnector and GenericConnectorProviders categories, then you must purge the cache either before or after you modify IT resource parameters. See "Purging the Cache" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for information about running the PurgeCache utility.
If you use the Design Console to modify generic technology connector objects, then do not use the Manage Generic Technology Connector feature to modify the generic technology connector.
Connector objects that are automatically created are not deleted even if the generic technology connector creation process fails.

How to trigger a process task on IT Resource process form

Hi,
I want to know how to trigger a process task on IT resource process form using OIM API.For Example:- If a task ilike an e-mail is to be sent on the departure date of a user.So,how can it be done using API?
Thanks.

This would typically be done through a scheduled task. Write your code to query for the departure date. If someone meets your criteria for an action to occur, you can either use the addProcessTaskInstance which has an adapter attached to it to send the email, or in your code, send the email.
The details that need to be considered though is where the departure date is stored. Is it on a process form, or is it on the user's OIM profile. Do you want to disable the user or revoke the object instance at this departure date? You could use the notification tab of these existing tasks if so.

Calling ADF page Custom Listener (Ex: ActionListener) from BPM Process Task (APPROVE/REJECT)

Hi All,
Jdeveloper version - 11.1.1.7
I am very new to BPM / SOA development, but I have very good development skills on ADF.
I am not using ADF BC, using EJB for business services and also using custom ADF pages for HumanTasks.
Usecase:
From the BPM Process task, when process submission (APPROVE / REJECT) , I need to invoke a Custom listener (Ex.Action Listener - a EJB call) in the ADF page.
I am trying to use BPM APIs.
Please clarify me how this will achieve using BPM APIs. I need detail guidelines to do it. Please make to understand this process.
Provide some useful documentation or links to understand the following:
1. Custom Human task pages
2. BPM APIs - 11.1.1.7
3. Call a BPM process task from ADF Listener and Call a ADF Listener from BPM Process task - Using BPM APIs.
Please revert more clarifications needed.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Joonas.
Plese let me explain me better for your understanding
A big summary for what I meant it's the following:
1- In the procces you made, when you add the HT activity, you have to implement it, this means declare the input(s) parameters you want. This implementation create the .task file.
2- Create an application, and projects as HT you have. Each poject are based on the .task file, and automatically create a Data Control (for each project based on a .task) with all you need.
This w'll be an empty application, so you can customize it all you want. The task selected should have all the parameters previously defined. Those parameters can change if you want.
2- Create a page(s) in the task flow for the task implementation. You can even split the the payload of the task in differents pages, create your custom pages and any logic you need.
3- An important aspect is how to match these application with the HT implemented in the process. It's possible, it's a configuration en the Enterprise Manager.
4- Deploy your application
All these are explain in the book I mentioned
Th book you can find it here:

Overdue Task Notification Time Specifics

Does anyone know if there is away to set Overdue Task Notifications from workflows to be set such that they only run during business hours? My CIO is getting overdue task notifications beginning at midnight and I'd like to change them to start getting
sent out at 7 AM. Is there any job definition I can modify, or PowerShell I can run.

Hi,
Select the task list from Workflow List of Designer 2010 .Use "Add Time to Date" or "Pause until date" actions and then Pause for 7 hours, Select action as "Start Approval Process". Choose Start workflow automatically when an
item is created or changed. Hope this might help you:

Dependent process task is not triggering - OIM 11.1.2

Hi All,
In 'AD User' process definition, I have added a process task 'send email' which will send a e-mail notification on User profile location change.
I made it a dependent task of 'Change AD OU' (process defined by me, triggers when user profile location is changed).
Test performed
1) changed User profile location attribute from identity self service.
Test Result
1) User profile Location is updated.
2) 'Change AD OU' process task is triggered and executed successfully. And process task returned success and the status value is 'C'
3) Dependent task 'send email' is not triggered.
Verified following
1) both process task are made unconditional.
Please help me in knowing, why the dependent task is not being triggered.
Thanks in advance
Praveen

Hi Rajiv,
Thanks for reply.
I configured it according the link provided.
Now facing below issue.
When I changed first name of a user from identity console, 'Change First Name' process task is triggered and is assigned to XELSYSADM (coz, in the assignment tab I added only XELSYSAD). But the status of the process task is Rejected. Also, the changed 'First Name' value is not updated in the process form of the user. Hence the change is not reflected into AD.
Please tell me why the status is Rejected and changes are not reflecting.
Also, Please provide the solution to auto provision the modifications into AD.
Thanks in Advance.

How Assigned TO field will be updated in "start Approval process" Task Action

I have created a reusable workflow in sharepoint designer. Am using “start Approval process“ Task Action. I have a question in “start Approval process“ Task Action.
I have username field in the list. I have created a task form field with name username in “start Approval process“ Task Action. I have assigned list username field to task field username field.
I have entered a user details in list user name field for new list item. Once the workflow has been started for that item a mail has been sent to the user whose name I have entered in the list user name field. Task has been assigned to the user whose name
I have entered in the list user name field.
When I have checked start Approval process task a send mail activity is present (Email Task notification currentitem:Assigned TO) .
I have not update Assigned To field explicitly.
1. Where / how the Assigned TO field is getting updated ?
2. Workflow Initiation and task creation will be done internally by the user who created the item in the list?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had questions about the “start Approval process“ Task Action.
When you add the “start Approval process“ Task Action, you need to to select the user who the task assign to.
To assign the user whose name you have entered in the list user name field, you add action as below:
After you select the user, the Assigned TO field is getting updated.
In addition, workflow Initiation and task creation will be done internally by the user who created the item in the list.
Thank you for your understanding.

Dependency in Xellerate User process task

I create a process task in xellerate user process and in de dep table create de dependency, to execute before the add user task, but the task never start. I modify to execute before System Validation with the same result.
The task is not conditional, allow multiple instances and required for termination.
Why the task don't start, is this normal with oim11g?

If you are using OIM 11g you may want to look at using an event handler to manage such user process customizations rather than Xellerate user adapters. These are the newest way of handling such customizations on user objects and I think may give you better compatibility going forward. In your case a pre-process handler seems appropriate. Refer to the OIM developers guide for details.

Functionality of Tabs in Workoverview like Alerts Tasks Notifications

Hi Experts
In SRM7.0 there is a link Workoverview.
Please let me know the functionality of the Tabs in Work Overview like Alerts Tasks Notifications.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Munny Bhanu
It not possible to do it in ECC 5.0. If you are having ECC6.0 Then follow the follwong path.
SPRO--> SAP IMG Setting --> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service --->Maintenance and Service Processing ---> Maintenance and Service Orders ---> Functions and Settings for Order Types --> Functions and Settings for Order Types
In that You have to first define view profile for Orders & then assign it to order types.
I hope this will resolve your issue.

Calling an actionable email from process task OIM11g

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to call an actionable email from process task, meaning can i trigger a workflow on demand from process task.

You are correct in the actionable emails, you just need to be creative.
This is my suggestion:
Create a Modify Application/Request request data set for your Active Directory workflow. When your scheduled task runs (assuming it will be only once a day so that you don't have multiple being sent out), generate a new request with code, and in the request dataset, set the value to the 365 days in the future. You can then create an approval policy either using the default manager approval, or custom soa composite. Regardless, you want the approval task to go to the manager. If you have enabled the Actionable Email Notifications (UMS Messaging i believe), then the manager will get an email for the approval and at the bottom it will have two options, APPROVE and REJECT. The manager can click the link and it will process the request based on their response.
If they approve it, the date is updated, and they get extended in AD. If they reject it, the request is rejected and it never gets updated.

Process tasks execution flow

Hi,
* When a provisioning process starts, the first one is System Validation.
* Next, all un-conditional tasks run.
* Tasks can trigger additional tasks based on the mapping with the response code and these tasks run.
I wanted to get clarified whether preceding and depedent tasks will tell us which tasks have to run prior to running the current or will they also add the list of tasks in the execution flow ??
Thanks,
Durgaprasad

Hi,
Yes, you can define the order of process task execution using preceding and dependent tasks. These tsk will be executed after the System Validation task is completed. And these task should be unconditional, preceding-dependent task tab does not work for conditional tasks.
For example:
You can have Create user task as a unconditional task and another Send mail notification to the user. Add this send mail notification task as a dependent task of the create user task. So when Create User task completed successfully , send mail notification task will be triggered. This is just for example, you can define task as per your requirement.
Thanks,
Pallavi

Email task notifications with form attachment for approval

I have a process that is started in Workspace and I have the preferences set for each of the users in the workflow to get task notifications via email with the form attached so they can approve/deny tasks in Reader/Acrobat without having to go back into Workspace.
The email works fine, the form is sent to the assigned user, however I'm a bit lost as to what to do in my process so when the user clicks the submit button the XDP data is sent to the right place. Poking around here it looks like I need to set up a Complete Task with an email endpoint? My forms have the Process Fields component already attached to them and looking at the data.xdp it is populating with the task ID and other data.
If that's that case a little bit of instructions on how to configure the Complete Task is in order for me. Do I put it on after each of the steps in the process that the form is transferred to different users, thus initiating more emails.
Thanks,
Mike

I have added an Email endpoint to the process. The mail gets removed from the inbox as i would expect but i get an error email. LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error: Cannot coerce object: <document state="active" senderVersion="3" persistent="false" senderPersistent="true" passivated="false" senderPassivated="true" deserialized="true" senderHostId="127.0.0.1//10.64.128.161" callbackId="0" senderCallbackId="27" callbackRef="null" isLocalizable="true" isTransactionBound="false" defaultDisposalTimeout="600" disposalTimeout="600" maxInlineSize="65536" defaultMaxInlineSize="65536" inlineSize="2326" contentType="application/xdp" length="-1"><cacheId/><localBackendId/><globalBackendId/><senderLocalBackendId/><senderGl obalBackendId/><inline><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xfa generator="XFA2_4" APIVersion="2.6.7120.0"?> <xdp:xdp x...</inline><senderPullServantJndiName>adobe/idp/DocumentPullServant/adobejb_server1</se nderPullServantJndiName><attributes file="form_data.xdp"/></document> of type: com.adobe.idp.Document to type: class com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.form.impl.xfa.XFARepositoryFormInstance I had to set the mapping to *.xfa otherwise the email would just be ignored. It seems to me that livecycle is not clever enough to pick up an email that its own form sent to the server. Furthermore it would seem that an inbox must be unique for livecycle to pick up any submitted forms. That makes the whole send form to user thing worthless, since the form send to the user ALWAYS has the standard livecycle submit email address. That means per livecycle server you can have exactly one process that has an email endpoint for in process form submissions/reminders. An email inbox should work exactly like watched folders, i.e. email patterns per workflow.

OIM 11g changing process tasks on Xellerate User

Hi all,
I am trying to send an email when an OIM user gets disabled. To do this i would like to set the Notification for the "Disable User" process task on Xellerate User.
However, any attempted change to the process tasks gives this error:
The security level for this data item indicates that it cannot be updated.
Update failed.
Update failed.
Adding a post-update event handler doesn't work in 11g anymore as well.
What would be the suggested way to send emails and fire adapters on changes to the user profile?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi Kevin,
I got it working by creating a new process task with task effect: Disables Process Or Access To Application
That process task had an adapter attached that would send the mail.
After your comment I went on to experiment with the notifications. Earlier i couldn't get them to be sent, but after creating a new process task (setting the tcCompleteTask handler and the notification) it started sending the emails. And now I don't need the custom adapter anymore.
Not sure what changed, thanks for your input.
