Disabling resources via OIM API. Which appKey?

Question

Hi gurus!
I'm developing my own scheduler tasks that use the OIM API to manage users and their resources. I'm working with OIM version 9.0.3
One of these tasks has to disable a provisioned resource for an user, by using the tcUserOperationsIntf.enableAppForUser() method. This method has two parameters: the user key and the app key. So, before the invokation, I have to find them.
I know how to get the user key, but I don't know which object key must I choose between the OBI_KEY, ORC_KEY and OIU_KEY.
I've tried to do it with obi_key and oiu_key, and sometimes works with obi_key and sometimes with oiu_key. What is the difference between these two keys?
This is my code:
     tcResultSet users = findUser(userLogin); //this method uses the tcUserOperationsIntf.findUsers() api method
     if (users != null) {
tcResultSet resources = findResource("resource_name"); // this method uses the tcObjectOperationsIntf.findProvisionableObjects() api method
long userKey = users.getLongValue("Users.Key");
long resourceKey = resources.getLongValue("Objects.Key");
     tcResultSet resource = findResourceByUser(userKey, resourceKey, "Objects.Key"); //this method uses the tcUserOperationsIntf.getObjects() api method
if (resource != null) {
long obiKey = resource .getLongValue("Object Instance.Key");
String status = resource .getStringValue("Objects.Object Status.Status");
long oiuKey = recurso.getLongValue("Users-Object Instance For User.Key");
if ("Disabled".equals(status)) {
userUtil.enableAppForUser(userKey, oiuKey); //userUtil is an instance of tcUserOperationsIntf

Answer 1

What these are is roughly explained in the API Usage Guide for Meta Data mapping.
OBI = Object Instance : There are lots of object instances including users.
OIU = Object Instance for User : These are the object instances that actually belong to a user, for example a provisioned resource.
You want the OIU which is returned by the getObjects method as the first value.
