How process tasks are selected

Hi All,
I need to know how OIM comes to know which process task needs to run after the previous is completed.
eg
In a normal AD provisioning I see the below tasks completed after user is created.I wanted to know how OIM knows the sequence of these and how OIM knows which one is to be executed.
1.User must change password at next logon Updated
2.Create User
3.ExecuteRemoteScript Completed
4.Password never expires Updated
5.Account Expiration Date Updated
6.Get Object GUID Created
I thought it wd be Task Dependency tab ,hence I checked the it for Create User but It was blank
Also,
What is the meaning of Object GUID?
Sorry for my basic question

Hi Sunny
AFAIU, his question was different.
Suppose I am running OIM a my machine and I have provisioned TUSER in AD. That TUSER account will have an ObjectGUID say ABCD1234.
Now you have another instance of OIM at your machine and you are also using same AD.
Question: Will ObjectGUID be same for Instances ?
My Answer was: Yes ObjectGUID will be same for both OIM Instances as it is related to AD not to OIM.
In OIM, ObjectGUID stores in Encrypted format. So the encryption algorithem is different for both instances but ObjectGUID will be same.
For example if OIM 1 converts ABCD1234 into abcd4321qwer and OIM 2 converts ABCD1234 into tryuo4332. But in both cases ObjectGUID will be same but it appears to be different in different OIM instances just because of their Encryption Algorithem.
I wanted to make that 100% but I was expecting him to make it 100%. (Just for his understanding)
I hope I understood question correctly. ;-)

How Many Objects Are Selected

How can I tell how many objects are selected when I draw a selection marque around multiple objects?

Open the Document Info Palette.
Find its secret little flyout menu.
Select from that menu "Objects".
Let go.
Then go to that same menu all over again and select "Selection Only".
Scroll through the list and sum the quantities shown. Except be careful not to include the count of "All Text Objects" with the counts of "Point Type Objects", "Area Type Objects", and "Type On A Path Objects".
Repeat those steps every time you start a new work session in AI, because AI's palettes can't remember the way you set them between launches.
How could you have overlooked that intuitive and straightforward routine?

Seing how many objects are selected.

Hi! I'm having a problem seing how many objects are selected when I navigate in Finder's windows. In Snow Leopard, there used to be a grey bar at the bottom telling you these infos, but this seems to be gone in Lion. Anyone knows how to get it back?
Thank you!

Obvious Way to Tell How Many Files are Selected?

I’ve been trying my best to love Lightroom, and I get close, but there’s one problem that I just can’t get past.
Five minutes ago, I tried to export one photo, and I ended up exporting 52 photos. This happens all the time. If I had a dime for every time I exported 500 photos instead of 1 photo, moved 500 photos instead of one photo, etc, I’d have a lot of dimes.
Anyway, I deleted the 51 extra exports, synced the folder, got everything where I wanted it, then … exported 52 photos again.
Sigh.
The only way I’ve been able to avoid this is in the past is by obsessively pressing Command+D. When I’m trying to do anything, I pound these two keys like there’s no tomorrow, but of course, I have to re-select the files I do want to perform actions on.
I kept thinking I’d get used to it, but I’m still having problems to no end. Unless I look very, very closely, I can’t tell if photos are selected or not, and if an entire screen full of photos are selected, they all look the same, so I really can’t tell.
That’s the background, now my questions if I may:
Is there any way to get a dialog box before performing actions on multiple photos? Something that says, “this action will be performed on 1,871 photos, do you want to proceed?” or something to that effect?
Ironically, it already does this when I want to delete something, which is great, but no such luck for any other actions.
By any chance, is there something I can do to make the number of photos I have selected, more obvious?
I know this is not a bug or program flaw, it’s a flaw with how my brain works with the program, but if I could figure out a way to make them work together , this application would be pretty awesome. As it is, I spend more time undoing mistakes than I do organizing and editing photos.
Thank you very much for any help.

I am so pleased to read your post and realize I'm not the only one that gets tripped up by this! I've bee using LR extensively for more than two years now and even today, just now, I wanted to export ONE file, and the highlighting onscreen appeared to indicate I've selected one file, but turned out it was dozens of files. Now... when I'm simply exporting copies of files to another folder it's not a dangerous situation. BUT! It is very dangerous if one wishes to delete a file or several files and you think those are the only files you're deleting. Many, many times I have caught this in time, fortunately. To me this is one example of how the experience of software designers do not well understand how the end user will understand a program. Professional photographers are very specific with everything they do and don't want a program tripping them up continually. This obvious confusion over which files are actually "selected" needs cleared up.
I read the responses to your post and find them dissatisfying. Please, Adobe, test your software with actual working photographers and not just Adobe engineers who may also happen to be amateur photographers.

Invoking process task

Hi,
Is there a way ,I can invoke my process task manually based on some condition.For example,I have a process task "Disable User" and I need to call this task whenever an user's organization gets changed.
Also I would like to know how process tasks are getting triggered?.
Thanks.

I found an interesting strategy the other day.
First I created an adapter which I called Mirror. It's only function is to return whatever string is passed to it.
The Process Task 'Change TransactionType' was created for each target resource and the MIrror adapter was integrated with it.
My trusted source is an HR system that passes transaction type as a field to Xellerate User. It can have values like ENABLE_USER, DISABLE_USER, CHANGE_JOB, CHANGE_EIN, CHANGE_OSID, CHANGE_NAME etc.
In lookup.usr.process.triggers I mapped 'Change TransactionType' to the TransactionType field.
On the Response Code for each 'Change TransactionType' Process Task I listed each transaction type value the trusted source generates. Then associate the appropriate Process Task with each Response.
The end result is the equivalent of a case statement for launching Process Tasks based on an operation, not just specific field values.
I hope I explained this adequately. If not, let me know. I think you will find this strategy helpful for many different cases.

OIM Process tasks Query

Just wondering how the process tasks are related to the process form fields. E.g. where can I map that if the first name on process form is modified, OIM should trigger the 'First Name Changed' process task. I know about USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS, but I am talking about the task which is mapped to the connector and is responsible for updating data in target application.
Thanks

if the first name on process form is modifiedIt triggers First Name Updated. It's architecture of OIM that it triggers 'Label Updated' task when you update Process Form. May be some event handlers are attached. Not sure 100% as didn't search for this.

Linking the Revoke Action to Process Task

Something that I haven't quite figured out yet is the connection between "Provision Resource" and the Process Task to Create the Resource, and likewise the connection between "Revoke Resource" and the Process Task to delete the Resource. I have a suspicion that it happens purely because the Process Task Name begins with "Create" or "Delete" and not something that is actually specified somewhere. Is this correct, or is there more to it?
I guess this could be a more general question about what regulates which Process Tasks are invoked and in what order for a given event. I finally think I understand that the Disable and Enable events are linked to Tasks through the "Process Effect" selection.
Maybe there is a document that defines this that I haven't stumbled on. I would take a reference if there is one.
Thanks,
Bill

When provisioning intitaes then it triggers the Unconditional task (Create User Task generally).
When Revoke triggers then it will execute a task which is in the Undo tab of Unconditional Task (Create User Generally).

SSIS Analysis Services Processing Task - which object is being processed?

Hi
I've just fallen down the hole dug by a gotcha in the SSIS Analysis Services Processing task (let's call it the ASPT as it's too long to type).
I was doing testing yesterday, targeting a test database. The way things are set up here is that we have two structurally-identical databases (let's call them SSASLive and SSASTest) on the same SSAS server.
The SSIS package includes an Analysis Services Processing task that processes a partition of a measure group in a cube.
So I changed the properties of the AS Connection Manager in the package to point to database SSASTest. Then, because I'm paranoid, and don't trust the Editor for the ASPT, I edited the object to be processed, by deleting the existing object from the
list and re-adding it (going down the tree: database SSASTest, cube TheCube, measure group TheMassiveMeasureGroup, partition CurrentMonth).
This is an annoying necessity, because: the ASPT editor doesn't allow you to see exactly what the object(s) in the list to be processed are, by e.g. double-clicking on them. All you can see is the lowest-level object name, which could be just
"Current Month". Current Month what? There's no way of telling.
Test worked fine. I made sure the AS Connection manager was reset to point to SSASLive, and deployed the package.
This morning, the package ran, and processed the partition in database
SSASTest. What happened? Looking in the Code view of the package, I found the XMLA behind the Processing task: the database name is literally specified in the XMLA, and completely ignores the Catalog of the AS connection. This information
is not exposed anywhere in the UI view of the package.
It's a bit like the dangerous annoyance when testing SSIS package Exec SQL tasks, where a previous developer has insisted on fully-qualifying object names: SELECT * FROM LiveDatabase.dbo.ATable. You're working with a connection to a test database,
but it makes not difference...
But at least that problem is clearly visible. I know that specifying the database name is normal in XMLA tasks: but at least the SSIS editor should allow you to see what the setting is.

No, the point is that the Connection Manager's Initial Catalog setting (whether hard-coded or set by any of the configuration methods) has no effect on the database addressed by the Analysis Services Processing task.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an Analysis Services database containing a cube (or select an existing one): let's call it ASDB1.
2. Make a copy of it on the same server, e.g. by backing up and restoring: let's call it ASDB_Copy
2. Set up an SSIS package with a Connection Manager pointing to ASDB1
3. Create an Analysis Services Processing task, using the Connection Manager, processing any particular SSAS object.
4. Run the package. The SSAS object in ASDB1 is processed (not the object in ASDB_Copy). (Confirm by checking the Last Processed date in SSMS, Properties).
5. Change the Connection Manager's Initial Catalog setting to point to ASDB_Copy.
6. Run the package. The SSAS object in ASDB1 is processed, not the object in ASDB_Copy. The Connection Manager's Initial Catalog setting has no effect on the AS Processing Task. Examining the Code view of the package confirms that the XMLA
behind the task specifies the database as well as the AS object. (and this database setting is still ASDB1).
The fix would be for SSIS to perform validation of AS objects referenced by the AS Processing Task whenever its Connection manager is pointed to a different database, and to update the XMLA accordingly.
Also, it would be useful to be able to see exactly what the objects listed in the Processing Task are. The information shown is just not sufficient to identify the object to the developer. I may have dozens of measure groups with a partition
called Current Month - but "Current Month" is all I can see in the editor, and there's no way to e.g. double-click on an item in the list and get the full object identification (Cube X, measure group Y, partition Current Month). Sure,
I can go and look at the XMLA, but that's fiddly: if there's going to be a wrapper around the XMLA (which is what the AS Processing Task is), then it should be unambiguous.

OIM 11g: Add process tasks as a result of a Request?

Is it possible in OIM 11g to have the result of a Request be that 1 or more process tasks are added to an an account's process?
The out-of-the-box Request framework seems to be very attribute driven (Modify Provisioned Resource, Self Modify Provisioned Resource), and I suppose we could add an attribute to trigger process tasks to be added, however, without going into detail, we'd really just like to be able to add the process task with no process form updates.
Has anyone attempted anything like this?

Sure you can. Create a plugin on the request status:
<plugin pluginclass="com.custom.eventhandlers.request.RequestCompleted" version="1.0" name="RequestCompleted">
<metadata name="status">
<value>Request Completed</value>
</metadata>
</plugin>
In your code, using benEntity.getEntityKey() you can get the "Users-Object Instance For User.Key" value for the instance the request is for. Then search the user's existing instances of that resource object type (findObjects) and match it to the "Users-Object Instance For User.Key" value from the result set. Then get the process instance key. From there you can use this code to get the task details:
Map taskMap = new HashMap();
String taskName = map.get(resourceName);
taskMap.put("Process Definition.Tasks.Task Name",taskName);
tcResultSet rs = taskOper.getTaskDetail(processInstanceKey,taskMap);
long taskKey = rs.getLongValue("Process Definition.Tasks.Key");
And finally this code to insert the task:
provIntf.addProcessTaskInstance(taskKey, processInstanceKey);
And done!

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 to get Process Task Retry Count using API (OIM 10g)

How to call Process Task in AD User proccess definition from Xellerate user

Hello,
I need a help from you guys.
I have one customized process task in "Xellerate User" Process definition. When my this task executes completely, I would like to call one of the customized process task in "AD User" process definition from xellearte user. Is there any way we can do that?
Thanks for your any help....

There are lots of ways to accomplish this. I haven't read through the other posts, but here are a few options.
Option 1 - Create a second task that also triggers at the same time, but set the task you already have as preceding. Then on your second task, write whatever code is needed to update a field, insert a new task, whatever the function is that's needed.
Option 2 - On the completion response of your original task, just use the response code to trigger the second task from running. Then again, write whatever code is needed.
Option 3 - Create a UDF on your user form. Add this field to the Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS. When your first task completes, use the APIs to update this field with a new value, perhaps the current date. On your AD Process Definition, create a task with the name you used in the lookup. This task will get triggered whenever the field is updated. Now if the user does not have an AD Instance, you don't have to worry about it ever running.
I'm sure you could create other event handlers as well to do this, it just depends on how creative you want to be.

When Hard-coded server name and data base name are replaced with variables , execute process task does not produce the result

Hi All,
I am trying to load shape file into a sql spatial table. A execution process task is used to run the ogr2ogr.exe program.
This is how the process tab looks like .
Executable : C:\gdal_ogr2ogr\bin\gdal\apps\ogr2ogr.exe
Argument : -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server=SQL-ABC-DEV;database=MYSIMPLE_Dev;Trusted_Connection=True;\\mypath\files\shares\Data\www.mypage.htm\my_sample_file.shp
Success value : 1
For above settings, package runs fine. The spatial table is created in SQL server db. However when hard-coded SQL server name and database name are replaced with global variables , the spatial table is not created in the database. Yet the package runs fine.
It does not throw any errors. (I am using another variable for full file path. It is not causing any errors though)
" -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server="+@[$Project::SQLServerName]+";database="+ @[$Project::DatabaseName] +";Trusted_Connection=True;"+ @[User::Filepath] + "\\my_sample_file.shp"
Both variables are string type. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here please?
I am running this in VS 2012.
Thanks for your help in advance..
shamen

There should be a single space just after True:
before
" -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server="+@[$Project::SQLServerName]+";database="+ @[$Project::DatabaseName] +";Trusted_Connection=True;"+ @[User::Filepath] + "\\my_sample_file.shp"
after keeping the space
" -f MSSQLSpatial   MSSQL:server="+@[$Project::SQLServerName]+";database="+ @[$Project::DatabaseName] +";Trusted_Connection=True; "+ @[User::Filepath] + "\\my_sample_file.shp"
Thanks

How to create process task adaptor for Manager DN for OID?

Thanks in advance,
We are trying to get provision users in OID and need to populate manager DN. We created pre-populated Rule generator adaptor to create user in OID. We used utility task and concat cn=managerid and ",, cn=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com." it work great at the time of user creation. Now we are trying to build "process task" adaptor in same way but it is failing and complaining about users not exist.
I used same way to build process task adaptor as I did for prepoulate rule generator only difference it selected "Process task" at the time of creation. I am new to OIM and trying to get some details. Please let me know if I am missing something.
If you already build process task adaptor to create users in OID with single location, I will appreciate that if you share with me.
Example cn=user1, cn=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com.
Thanks,
-Ishaq

Hi
You have changed the manager DN in Trusted Resource and you are able to update this information in OIM also. Now you want to update this manager DN in OID.
If this your requirement then following link may help you
OIM password
Or in this task you can write your java code to update the process form attached with the provisioning process of user.
It should work.
