Debuging Event Handler OIM 11g

Hi experts
I have built the event handler and its able to set email of the end user as [email protected] after post process. Fortunatly i could do this at first shot after following the link on the oracle meta link.
But i could not debug the eventhandler class file for any additional changes. though i have added the SOP statments i cud not see anythin in the OIM Diagnostic logs.
can any one help me where i can find the trace out put of the SOP's i've set in the event handler.. is it in the WLS logs or do i need to set the OIM log level to finest. im lil confused
this is the first time im dealing with oim event handlers.

Hi ,
By default SOP statments prints on OIM logs.
You can generate Custom Log file in OIM 11g for event handler.
1.Open logging.xml from <OIM Domain>/config/fmwconfig/servers/<OIM Server>
2.In the <log_handlers> tag add entry for custom handler
3.Add entry for the custom logger under <loggers> tag
4.Restart the OIM server
For more details, please see link http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e14308/log.htm#CEGEAGIB .
Thanks,
Pradeep

Unregister Event Handler OIM 11g

Hi
I have created a event handler and registered the same within OIM 11g. it gets executed as expected after create user (post process). next i changed some of the code within my custom event handler. and registered the plugin after i unregistered the old one. unfortunately i still see the old output in my logs
i have purged the metadata chache, i have bounced the OIM but no luck..
Are there any steps / checks i need to follow after i unregister the event handler.. and also plz confirm whether we need to follow all the steps of registration of event handler every time we make changes to the event handler class. uhhh.. its really time consuming when
thanks

Hi,
Please make sure you are shipping updated JAR files in plugin.zip and re-register.
Follow below steps to re-register plugin,
1.     Unregister plugin using below command
ant -f pluginregistration.xml unregister
2.     Prepare plugin.zip with updated JAR file.
3.     register plugin using below command
ant -f pluginregistration.xml register
You do not need to restart OIM server after re-register and need not to import eventhandler.xml unless you change version of plugin.
Also you can verify registered plugin details in plugin table with following query (Run on OIM DB),
select * from plugins;
Thanks,
Pradeep.

Override lifecycle event-handler in 11g

Hello,
I am trying to override lifecycle event-handling in 11g environment with the standard ADFPhaseListener.
In faces-config.xml I registered:
<lifecycle>
<phase-listener>oracle.adfinternal.controller.faces.lifecycle.ADFPhaseListener</phase-listener>
</lifecycle>
I have a backing-bean that extends oracle.adf.controller.v2.lifecycle.PageController
and override some methods like
@Override
public void prepareModel(LifecycleContext lifecycleContext) {
int x = 1;     // Dummy Statement
super.prepareModel(lifecycleContext);
@Override
public void prepareRender(LifecycleContext lifecycleContext) {
int x = 1;     // Dummy Statement
super.prepareRender(lifecycleContext);
@Override
public void processComponentEvents(LifecycleContext lifecycleContext) {
int x = 1;     // Dummy Statement
super.processComponentEvents(lifecycleContext);
@Override
public void processUpdateModel(LifecycleContext lifecycleContext) {
int x = 1;     // Dummy Statement
super.processUpdateModel(lifecycleContext);
If I set breakpoints in all 4 methods however they are never matched, not when entering the page nor during roundtrips.
Is there anything else I have to do to make it work. I couldn't find a detailed example for 11g.
Bruno

Hello,
and thanks for your help.
Meanwhile I created a Custom PagePhaseListener with PhaseListener Interface and registered it on the JSPX <f:phaseListener binding="..."/>
This matches my requirements even better since I need a listener for only one JSPX.
Since this is a JSF (not ADF) Interface I only get the Standard Lifecycle-Phases, which are fewer than in Frank's example, but they are sufficient for my purposes.
Or do you see any other major drawbacks.

How to Deploy the Event Handlers OIM 11g

Hi
I have developed the code for post process event handler using OIM 11 G API. The OIM not invoking the EventHandlers while updating the users attribute or creating the users attribute.
I have done the following task to develop and deploy the OIM 11g Event handlers. They are
1) Implementing the PostProcessHandler interface and provide the implementation of execute method.
Sample Class
public class SamplePostProcessEventHandler implements PostProcessHandler {
     private Logger logger=Logger.getLogger("TEST-LOGGER");
     public SfsuPostProcessEventHandler()
          logger.debug("Invoking Event Handler Plugin");
     @Override
     public boolean cancel(long arg0, long arg1,
               AbstractGenericOrchestration arg2) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          return false;
     @Override
     public void compensate(long arg0, long arg1,
               AbstractGenericOrchestration arg2) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
     @Override
     public EventResult execute(long processid, long eventid, Orchestration orchestration) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          logger.debug("Operation "+orchestration.getOperation());
          logger.debug("Parameters "+orchestration.getInterEventData());
          logger.debug("Parameters "+orchestration.getParameters());
          EventResult result=new EventResult();
          return result;
     @Override
     public BulkEventResult execute(long arg0, long arg1, BulkOrchestration arg2) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          return null;
     @Override
     public void initialize(HashMap<String, String> arg0) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
2) Create the Jar File SamplePostProcessEventHandler.jar
3) Create the Plugin.xml file
Sample File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<oimplugins>
<plugins pluginpoint="oracle.iam.platform.kernel.spi.EventHandler">
<plugin pluginclass="test.eventhandlers.SamplePostProcessEventHandler" version="1.0" name="SamplePostProcessEventHandler">
</plugin>
</plugins>
</oimplugins>
4) Create the directory lib and copy the SamplePostProcessEventHandler.jar file into this directory
5) Creating the Zip file with the following directory structure.
plugin.xml
lib/SamplePostProcessEventHandler.jar
6) Register the plugin
ant -f pluginregistration.xml register
7) Creating the Custom Events xml file called EventHandlers.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<eventhandlers>
<action-handler class="test.eventhandlers.SamplePostProcessEventHandler" entity-type="User" operation="CREATE" name="SamplePostProcessEventHandler" stage="postprocess" order="LAST" sync="TRUE"/>
<action-handler class="test.eventhandlers.SamplePostProcessEventHandler" entity-type="User" operation="MODIFY" name="SamplePostProcessEventHandler" stage="postprocess" order="LAST" sync="TRUE"/>
</eventhandlers>
8) Importing the Above XML into the MDS Schema Using the weblogicImportMetadata.sh file
Directory Structure of the Event Handler Schema File
/home/oracle/eventhandler/db/EventHandlers.xml
weblogic.properties file parameters
wls_servername=oim_server1
application_name=oim
metadata_from_loc=/home/oracle/eventhandler
9) Finnally Running the PurgeCache.sh All
10) Restarted the OIM Server.
11) Testing
I have logged into the OIM Admin Console >> Search the User > Update the First Name. The event handlers are not invoked any create or update operation. I am not able to see the log entries into the log file.
My Log Entry Configuration.
log File Configuration :
/u01/app/wl-10.3.5.0/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/oim_domain/config/fmwconfig/servers/oim_server1/logging.xml
<log_handler name='test-handler' level='FINEST' class='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'>
<property name='logreader:' value='off'/>
<property name='path' value='/u01/app/wl-10.3.5.0/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/oim_domain/servers/oim_server1/logs/test-event.log'/>
<property name='format' value='ODL-Text'/>
<property name='useThreadName' value='true'/>
<property name='locale' value='en'/>
<property name='maxFileSize' value='5242880'/>
<property name='maxLogSize' value='52428800'/>
<property name='encoding' value='UTF-8'/>
<logger name="TEST-LOGGER" level="FINEST" useParentHandlers="false">
<handler name="test-handler"/>
<handler name="console-handler"/>
</logger>
Is there anything is missing while deploying the event handlers.
Help is Greatly appreciated.

Change as per the following :
1. Put the event hander in the /home/oracle/eventhandler /metadata/metadata directory and
2. Change the following in the weblogic properties
application_name=OIMMetadata
metadata_from_loc to =/home/oracle/eventhandler/metadata
This will work.

Event Handlers OIM 11g

Hi Folks ,
I am very new to OIM 11g , Could you please help me on below :
I have a OIM system, i want to see what all event handlers are present in OIM . Could you please tell me where can i go and look to find out the event handlers in my
OIM instance .
Thanks

OimWannaBe wrote:
Thanks i will go through the links .., just one more question :
In 11g , creating normal process task adapters /scheduled tasks , does it involve all the plugins stuff etc .., or they are like 10 g and plugins comes in to picture when we create event handlers .No, process task adapters are the same old way, just that you need to upload the jar into the db rather than copying them. Other than that everything else needs plugins atleast.
Other Ques :
Is it possible to create pre process/pre insert Event handlers in OIM 11g for trusted reconciliation . I heard somewhere that 11g doesnt support pre insert event handlers for trusted recon , is it ?Yep you heard it right, you cannot have event handlers during 11g recon pre process.

Method to query DB in OIM Event handler

Can anyone please give me info about how to connect to DB for querying the DB to get user attributes for customization in Event Handler (OIM 11g R2 PS1) ?
Is there any utility available to get DB connection object without exposing any DB details like SID,IP,JDBC Driver details ?
For ex: queery is like "Select USR_LOGIN from USR by USR_LOGIN DESC;"

Try Platform.getOperationalDS()

API of Resource object managment - OIM 11g R2

Hi All,
I want to provision a resource (say 'AD User') from a post event handler (OIM 11g R2) during user creation.
Please tell me the API to be used.
In OIM 10g, we can use 'tcObjectOperationsIntf' interface to operate on resource objects. what API is its replace in OIM 11g R2?
Thanks in Advance.

Create a role and add a rule membership to that role using your custom attribute.
Create an access policy to provision AD resource and use the role created above while creating access policy. There will be a schedule task with the name "Evaluate user access policies". Change its schedule to run for every 1 minute.
Now, create a user who satisfies the above role membership and make sure this user got the role membership. Immediately after a minute, this new user should be provisioned to AD resource automatically.

Custom Pre Process Event Handler in OIM 11g for middle initials

Hi,
I am trying to congiure a Custom Pre Process Event Handler for generating middle name in OIM 11g and I am following the steps as given in metalink ID: *1262803.1*
Even after successfully performing all the steps I am not able to get the middle initials in Admin Console when I create a new user.
1) Directory structure for the application that I have created through JDeveloper.
CustomApplication/
|-- CustomApplication.jws
`-- CustomProject
|-- CustomProject.jpr
|-- classes
| `-- com
| `-- example
| `-- custompph
| `-- CustomPreProcessEventHandler.class
`-- src
`-- com
`-- example
`-- custompph
`-- CustomPreProcessEventHandler.java
2) Directory structure for Plugins directory
My Plugin.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<oimplugins>
<plugins pluginpoint="oracle.iam.platform.kernel.spi.EventHandler">
<plugin pluginclass="com.example.custompph.CustomPreProcessEventHandler"
version="1.0" name="CustomPreProcessEventHandler" />
</plugins>
</oimplugins>
plugin/
|-- lib
| `-- com
| `-- example
| `-- custompph
| `-- CustomPreProcessEventHandler.class
|-- middlename.zip
`-- plugin.xml
Copied the middlename.zip in the plugin folder in OIM_HOME and registered it successfully.
3) Created a EventHandlers file and imported it successfully using importmetadata.
My EventHandlers.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<eventhandlers>

<action-handler
class="com.example.custompph.CustomPreProcessEventHandler"
entity-type="User"
operation="CREATE"
name="CustomPreProcessEventHandler"
stage="preprocess"
order="10"
sync="TRUE"/>
</eventhandlers>
I checked the logs as well but could not find something which can help me to proceed.
Also please advise is their any mapping that I need to do in *"Design Console"*
Please advise !!!!!
Thanks

My lib file contains the package as mentioned in the metalink.
Heirarchy in Plugin folder :
1) plugin.xml
2) Lib ( lib contains 3 folders : com/example/custompph; And inside custompph is my CustomPreProcessEventHandler.class file)
You mean to say i should not copy the entire package in lib but only the jar file of the CustomPreProceessEventHandler.class* file.
If i put only a .jar file in lib i get the following error.
"Error occured during the use of plugin registering utility. The plugin zip does not contain the definition of plugin class com.example.custompph.CustomPreProcessEventHandler"
Thanks

OIM 11g - ldap sync - Post Process event handler 'CREATE' faillling

Hi Gurus,
We have ldap sync set up between OIM 11.1.1.5 and ODSEE 11g,
Post process event handler on user creation with is setting a attribute with random 16 digit character, This event handler is getting triggered and setting the attribute in OIM but in logs i can see "Modification failed because user 45118 is not synchronized to the LDAP directory." error and it is not updated in ODSEE.
This behaviour is only for trusted recon not for the User created through UI.
Not sure what exactly is happening..
Is it expected behavior??
Gurus help me out on this.

IF it fail because event handler unable to produce random number then verify below
is eventhandler code being executed in trusted recon verify in log.
There are two method execute and bulk execute in eventhandler. execute is being called from UI and bulk execute is being called for trusted recon.
either put code in bulk execute or update batch recon size something like that system property to 1. so, it will function as UI. Default value of batch is 500

OIM 11g R2 Post Event Handler not trigerred

Hi,
I have developed the event handler that request resources on user load into OIM (its a GTC load). I can see that:
1. event handler is registered in "PLUGINS" table,
2. appearing in em
3. see the following under /dms/spy
PostEventRequestResourceCreate company.com oim_server1:14000 active, threads 0 oim_server1
avg, msecs 1.67
completed, ops 3
maxActive, threads 1
maxTime, msecs 3
minTime, msecs 1
time, msecs 5
As per the 11g R2 doc, I have included eventhandlers.xml as part of META-INF folder of my pluign zip -I did not import it into MDS as it was not mentioned in the doc (as it was mentioned in the case of 11g R1).
I have updated the lib of the plugin zip with the custom class jar.
I have few SOPs in my Eventhandler which are not getting printed and hence events are not triggered.
Is there anything that I am missing here?
Thanks

HashMap eventDataHashMap = bulkOrchestration.getInterEventData();
Identity[] currentUserStates = (Identity[]) eventDataHashMap.get("CURRENT_USER");
You can loop through the same way you are through the bulkParameters and pull the database from there.

OIM 11g: Event Handler "Data Object"

Is there any way in the OIM 11g Users event handler model (pre-insert) to get a "data object" type structure of the column names and values which will be inserted into the database (i.e USR_FIRST_NAME = "John"). This would be similar to what the legacy 9.1x event handler model provided via the getDataObject() method.
I know how to get the data from the orchestration parameters, but for our requirements we need the data to be keyed by database column name ("USR_FIRST_NAME") and not field name as in the orchestration params ("First Name").
OIM must do this conversion at some point (field name -> database column name). Can we somehow leverage this same function?
Thanks.

You can accomplish through if statements in your event handler to check for the attributes that determine the logic. For example, if your user's last name changes, you can check the orchestration.getParameters() to see if it contains a key for "UserManagerConstants.AttributeName.LAST_NAME.getId()" and if it does, then perform your logic to update the user.
You could also come up with a lookup that can be referenced for these and have your own custom java code that outputs information based on the values in the lookup. Just think creatively and anything is possible.
Or you can get a connection to the database, and have a constants file that translates the metadata names back to database fields and continue to use your existing code.
Lots of options.

OIM 11g: Event Handler Packaging/Deployment

Need some advice/guidance on best practices for packaging/deploying Event Handlers in OIM 11g.
In our OIM 9.1 environment, we organized all of our custom code by "functional area" so we have JAR's named oim-common.jar, oim-ad.jar, oim-oid.jar, etc. Within each one of these JAR's we have all adapter code, scheduled tasks, and 10g event handlers related to that area. This approach was done to promote code reuse and make unit testing easier.
From what I've read on 11g Event Handlers, it sounds like each event handler needs to be packaged as a plugin along with it's own JAR so that we'd have one JAR per event handler. So, if we have 100 event handlers, we'd need 100 JAR's? Is this required or can our plugin ZIP files just contain the XML definitions as long as the referenced classes are on the classpath?

Gyanprakash Pandey wrote:
You should have a separate plugin package for each event handler. Practically we should have number of event-handlers as less as possible. If there are more event-handlers we must modify the design as event handler cause performance issues.
Regards,
GPHi Gyanprakash,
I'm going to use event handlers in my project, so I'm interested very much in hearing about the performance issues.
Besides, I do not see why I shall package every handler separately. Is this intended behavior or because of some bugs in OIM?

Help needed in implementing validation event handler in OIM 11g

Hello experts,
I am trying to set username policy by implementing a validation event handler in OIM 11.1.1.5.
Following are the steps followed
1. Import metadata
Created a file called Eventhandler.xml as below and imported using weblogicImportmetadata.sh
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<eventhandlers xmlns="http://www.oracle.com/schema/oim/platform/kernel" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.oracle.com/schema/oim/platform/kernel orchestration-handlers.xsd">
<validation-handler class="test.iam.eventhandlers.CustomValidationEventHandler" entity-type="User" operation="CREATE" name="CustomValidationEventHandler" order="1000" sync="TRUE"/>
</eventhandlers>
2. Register plugin
plugin.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<oimplugins xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<plugins pluginpoint="oracle.iam.platform.kernel.spi.ValidationHandler">
<plugin pluginclass="test.iam.eventhandlers.CustomValidationEventHandler" version="1.0" name="CustomValidationEventHandler" />
</plugins>
</oimplugins>
Just givng sys out in the below code to check whther it is getting triggerred during user create.
package test.iam.eventhandlers;
import java.util.HashMap;
import oracle.iam.platform.Platform;
import oracle.iam.platform.context.ContextAware;
import oracle.iam.platform.kernel.ValidationException;
import oracle.iam.platform.kernel.ValidationFailedException;
import oracle.iam.platform.kernel.spi.ValidationHandler;
import oracle.iam.platform.kernel.vo.BulkEventResult;
import oracle.iam.platform.kernel.vo.BulkOrchestration;
import oracle.iam.platform.kernel.vo.Orchestration;
public class CustomValidationEventHandler implements ValidationHandler {
     @Override
     public void initialize(HashMap<String, String> arg0) {
     // TODO initialization
          System.out.println("init validate event handler");
     @Override
     public void validate(long processId, long eventId, Orchestration orchestration)
     throws ValidationException, ValidationFailedException {
          System.out.println("Beginning of validation");
          System.out.println("End of validation");
     @Override
     public void validate(long processId, long eventId, BulkOrchestration arg2)
     throws ValidationException, ValidationFailedException {
     // TODO - N/A
          System.out.println("Bulk Orchestration not yet implemented");
Now when i create a user it is not allowing and i am getting system error in the front end and in the logs i could see something below
<May 28, 2012 3:03:29 PM CEST> <Error> <oracle.iam.identity.usermgmt.impl> <IAM-3050029> <The user cannot be created due to validation errors.

I have implemented preprocess and postprocess event handler before with similar kind of plugin registration, metadata import and everything worked fine. Not sure what is the problem here with validation event handler.
Thanks

Instead of registering the plug-in can u try placing it in the plugins folder under Oracle_IDM1/server folder.
at times restart is required. esp when the server is running in production mode.

USER LOGIN GENERATION USING EVENT HANDLER IN OIM 11G

Hi
I am looking to generate user logins in OIM 11g (11.1.1.5) using event handlers. Can anyone guide me with the process and which API need to be used?
Regards

You have to write your custom class which implements oracle.iam.identity.usermgmt.api.UserNamePolicy. Then you have to register the plugin which will contain the plugin.xml and class file of your custom code.
