Direct provisioing using API in OIM 11g

Question

Hi Experts,
I am facing couple of issues.
*1)* I am trying to provision a resource direcly using API's in OIM 11g. Here I do not have any object form for this resource but I have a process form with some pre-population adapters.
And I am trying to use the below code for direct provisioining.
Hashtable objectHash = new Hashtable();
objectHash.put("Objects.Name", objectName);
tcResultSet objectResultSet = objIntf.findObjects(objectHash);
long objectKey = objectResultSet.getLongValue("Objects.Key");
com.thortech.xl.vo.ResourceData data = userIntf.provisionResource(userKey, objectKey);
long userObjectInstanceKey = Long.parseLong(data.getOiuKey());
long objectInstanceKey = Long.parseLong(data.getObiKey());
And I am getting nulls for the attributes userObjectInstanceKey & objectInstanceKey .
Please let me know how to provision a resource which has no object form but has some pre-population adapters using API .
*2)* I am trying to provision a resource direcly using API's in OIM 11g. Here I do have an object form for this resource which has one of the attribute as of type lookup.
ResourceData data = userIntf.provisionResource(userKey, resourceKey);
long userObjectInstanceKey = Long.parseLong(data.getOiuKey());
long objectInstanceKey = Long.parseLong(data.getObiKey());
Hashtable objectHash = new Hashtable();
objectHash.put("UD_ADGROUP_NAME",groupName);
In this case I am getting objectInstanceKey properly but it is not seeting lookup field value but it is setting all other fields on the object form correctly.
How to set a field of type lookup on the object form while provisioing a resource directly using API's.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Pallavi,
I am not populating any object form. I am trying for direct provisioning a resource thru OIM API's.
Hence, I need populate all of the process form fields inorder to skip the approval flow. So, I was using setProcessFormData method.
Here is what happening.
1) My resource has a request dataset which has only one field called "Group Name".
2) My resource has a process form with the fields name UD_GROUP_NAME, UD_GROUP_DESCRIPTION, UD_GROUP_OWNER.
3) When I use the below code, I was able to populate the fields UD_GROUP_DESCRIPTION, UD_GROUP_OWNER (Because pre-populate adapters are getting invoked) as they did not exist on the request data.
tcFormInstanceOperationsIntf formInstanceOps=Platform.getService(tcFormInstanceOperationsIntf.class);
ResourceData data = userIntf.provisionResource(userKey, resourceKey);
long userObjectInstanceKey = Long.parseLong(data.getOiuKey());
long objectInstanceKey = Long.parseLong(data.getObiKey());
Hashtable objectHash = new Hashtable();
objectHash.put("*UD_ADGROUP_NAME*",groupName);
formInstanceOps.setProcessFormData(objectInstanceKey, objectHash);
4) I am having this issue only with the fields that are exist on the request dataset. Since, UD_GROUP_NAME exist on the request dataset, even if I try to set some value in the process form, it is not taking.
Using API's, I am not able to populate any of the attributes on the process form that are exist on the request dataset.
How to solve this issue.1. Check the process form field name.
2. Use tcUserOperationsIntfAPI Method provisionObject(userKey,ObjectKey)
userIntf.provisionObject(userKey, objectKey);
3. Get the process-instance key.
tcResultSet objResultSet = userIntf.getObjects(userKey);
               int objCount = objResultSet.getRowCount();
               for (int count = 0; count < objCount; count++) {
                    objResultSet.goToRow(count);
                    if (objResultSet.getStringValue("Objects.Name").equalsIgnoreCase(resourceObjectName)){
                         processInstanceKey = objResultSet.getLongValue("Process Instance.Key");
4. Use tcFormInstanceOperationsIntf API method setProcesFormData(processInstanceKey,dataMap)
Hope this helps you.
