IDM Custom Attributes

My user (MX_PERSON) has some standard attributes as MX_LASTNAME. MX_FIRSTNAME, MSKEYVALUE, DISPLAYNAME.
So I added some 3 custom attributes (Z_NATIO, Z_FAMST, Z_GENDER):
After populating some users data in IDM,
MSKEYVALUE     MX_LASTNAME     MX_FIRSTNAME     DISPLAYNAME     Z_NATIO     Z_FAMST          Z_GENDER
user1                   LN1                       FN1                         LN1 FN1              US              M                      1
user2                   LN2                       FN2                         LN2 FN2              UK              F                       2
user3                   LN3                       FN3                         LN3 FN3              IT                F                       3
Here is my request to get all the users' information including the 3 added custom attributes:
select MSKEYVALUE, MX_LASTNAME, MX_FIRSTNAME, DISPLAYNAME, ????? from idmv_link_ext where mcThisMSKEYVALUE in (user1,user2,user3)
Could you please help me to get also the 3 attributes values for all users ?
Many Thanks,
Michaela

This seems to be the exact same question as this idm sql help so check if any of the replies there is helpful. You should also mention what database you need the query for as there is differences between Oracle and SQL Server when using pivot or other flattening functions.

Custom attributes store in IDM

Hi,
I wamt to add attributes to idm to store in idm repository. Currently it is storing only accountId, firstname,lastname,password, manager,email. How can i add custom attribute and to store in IDM and how many can i add ?
Thanks in advance

In IDM 7.1 and previous you can add custom attributes (IDM calls these user extended attributes) in the "User Extended Attributes" object. IDM 8.0 completely revamped the user extended attributes so you'll have to look at the documentation for that. I haven't upgraded to that yet.
Technically speaking there is no limit the number of extended attributes but it will slow things down as you add more and more. Each attribute adds to the total size of the user object so any operation on a user object will take longer and longer.

Help Pls: Create New User Form and display custom attributes +++

Hi All,
I am trying to create a user screen where a user would see all the organizations he is responsible for and clicking on the organization he would see the certain attribute of all the users that belong to the organization. (Kind of report)
Account attribute need to be defined with 2 custom attributes:
1. Organizations Responsible for
2. Belongs to which organization.
3. Status
The first 2 attributes are used to define the organization heirarchy (we can't use the org heirarchy as is in IDM).
I am just starting on the Sun IDM (very new to the product). Could you please let me know how this could be done? Which form I need to modify and any other changes I need to make.
Thanks a lot and have a pleasant day,
Ritesh
PS: I know this is a long question but i really don't know how to better explain the problem.

A workaround is to write a PL/SQL procedure to render the custom item (pass in each attribute as a paramter and then use htp.p to print it whatever format you want). You can then disable the default display of attributes (i.e. edit the style so none of the attributes are rendered).
Hope that helps,
Mark

Issue with Sorting by Custom Attributes

In our custom SES query application, I am trying to implement sorting at the custom attribute level. I am having difficulty in understanding exactly how to set the options on doOracleOrganizedSearch() to achieve the desired result.
We have a table based content source and allow a user to search via custom search attribute. We are also going to allow them to sort by custom attribute.
For example, say we have a Project content source and one of the attributes is "Client Name". Users are going to be able to sort by client name (A-Z and Z-A). I have a prototype working but it only seems to work if I set topN to a very high number.
I want to bring back the first 10 documents sorted by Client Name A - Z and allowing paging to the next set of sorted results. My prototype works if I set topN to 1000 (more than the # of results) but does not work if I set it to 10 (# of results I want to display per page).
Below if my code. Note I am not setting the group attribute or the cluster list. Perhaps this is the issue?
Many thanks in advance!
OracleResultContainer results = service.doOracleOrganizedSearch
(this.m_query, // query
this.m_docsRequested, // topN
this.m_startIndex, // startIndex
new Integer(10), // docsRequested
this.m_dupRemoved, // dupRemoved
this.m_dupMarked, // dupMarked
this.m_searchDataGroup, // groups
this.m_queryLang, // queryLang
this.m_docLang, // docLang
this.m_returnCount, // returnCount
this.m_filterConnector, // filterConnector
filters, // filters
this.m_fetchAttributeNames, // fetchAttributeNames
null, // searchControls
null, // groupAttr
this.m_sortAttributes, // sortAttrList
null); // clusterList

Hi Nikola,
in 9.0.1 even if you rewrite the web interface you can't sort files by custom attributes setting a SortSpecification to a Folder. You can only sort by base attributes with getItems(). To get item sorted on custom attributes you must perform a search (a lot more codelines).

Limitation on number of custom attributes visible

Hi,
I am using OIM 11g.
All the custom attributes are visible on the create user form. I am able to see only 8 custom attributes on the modify user form.
The visible property of all the attributes is set to true. I cannot modify the attribute once its created at the user creation.
Can someone please help me out?
Thanks...

I got it resolved.
Permissions in the access policies were not enabled for the remaining attributes.

Encrypt custom attribute

Tar: 7340338.994
OID Version: 10.1.2.0.2
We are trying to encrypt the custom attribute ( ssn, answer ). How do we encrypt the custom attribute ? This is security requirement.
I find nothing in the admin guide and I am not even sure we can do this. Does anyone know how to encrypt a custom attribute?
I am thinking at best this is an Enhancement Request.

Several ways:
1. Write a plugin: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14082/plugin_intr.htm#i120282
2. Put OVD in front of OID, point the application to OVD and write a plugin for OVD: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/E12283_01/java_plug_ins.htm#CIHBDHHE
3. If you can find the attribute in ODS schema, try encryption at the database level with TDE or VPD. Actually I am not sure it will carry over to LDAP interface..probably not but it's worth a try
4. Have the application do it?

Problem with setting custom attribute and it being searchable

I'm having an issue with setting a custom attribute and having it be searchable using Portal 10.1.4. The situation that we have is that we initially added a bunch of files to Oracle Portal using webdrive. Later on, we decided that we needed another custom attribute called "Pinned Item" that will be used for searching (boolean value) and gave it a default value of false. The attribute was then added to the "File" item type in the "Shared Objects" group.
It appears that since this attribute wasn't initially available on the file object, we couldn't search on it so we decided to set it programatically. First, I tried using wwsbr.set_attribute but it errored out seemingly because the value wasn't set in the first place. If I set a value first by using the web front end, I could then use the set_attribute procedure.
So, I moved on to using wwsbr_api.modify_item and it appears to set it (although everything is being set to false until I changed it to "text" instead of "boolean" which is OK because that's what I wanted anyway... see metalink bug 390618.1). I'm using the method outlined in metalink doc 413079.1. When I do set it to a "1", and edit the item the check box is checked indicating that it is set correctly. And if I just click "OK" to save the attributes after I open it everything works like it should.
However, the advanced search (and custom search portlet) and the search APIs are not picking it up. I'm not sure if I'm hitting Metalink bug ID 5592472 or not as that's using the "set_attribute" procedure instead of the modify_item procedure. And their "workaround" of setting the attribute in the UI isn't really feasible for a couple thousand files.
So far I've tried the following things to get it working:
1. I am calling wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation
2. I have executed wwv_context.sync
3. I cleared the page group cache
4. I invalidated all of the web cache
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Custom Attributes in Target Group Email Campaign Not Refreshed

We have a campaign sending emails to a target group of BPs. To fill our custom attributes with values we have implemented our code in badi CRM_IM_ADD_DATA_BADI method CRM_IM_BPSELE. We tested our code using the Test Send feature from the email form and all worked fine.
But when we ran the campaign in the background for a Target Group with multiple BPs it would not work correctly, our attribute values were incorrect.
We discovered while debugging the job, that the badi gets run once for each BP, but the attribute values from the previous BP do NOT get refreshed. In fact there are 2 entire sets of attribute records in the CT_ATT_VALUES table parameter. Each time through it multiplies by another set of our attributes.
I have put code in the badi as a workaround that deletes the previously filled attributes for the previous BP, but I'd like to figure out what is causing this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee,
Is this issue resolved for you now??
I am facing the similar problem.
Though the BADi is not used for these two mails (it is used in some other mail forms), it is actually called in 'CRM_ERMS_MAIL_COMPOSE' Function Module and the process is same as u said. There are 2 sets of values.
I am using a Mail Alert functionality where in a 'Mail Alert ON' is sent to field engineers (FE) and then upon FE accepting the work we will send a 'Mail Alert OFF' to FEs.
Problem is, we get one or two fields data incorrectly sometimes. I am not able to find out the root cause yet.
Please let me know if you have had any resolution to this!
Thanks in advance.

How can i add custom attributes to a new Class Object using the API ?

Hello everyone,
Here is my problem. I just created a subclass of Document using the API (not XML), by creating a ClassObjectDefinition and a ClassObject. Here is the code :
// doc is an instance of Document
ClassObject co = doc.getClassObject();
ClassObjectDefinition cod = new ClassObjectDefinition(ifsSession);
cod.setSuperclass(co);
cod.setSuperclassName(co.getName());
cod.setName("MYDocument");
ClassObject c = (ClassObject)ifsSession.createSchemaObject(cod);
Everything seems to be OK since i can see the new class when i use ifsmgr. But my question is : how can i add custom attributes to this new class ? Here is what i tried :
AttributeDefinition value = new AttributeDefinition(ifsSession);
value.setAttribute("FOO", AttributeValue.newAttributeValue("bar"));
c.addAttribute(value);
But i got the following error message :
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-30002: Unable to create new LibraryObject
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01400: impossible d'insirer NULL dans ("IFSSYS"."ODM_ATTRIBUTE"."DATATYPE")
oracle.ifs.server.S_LibraryObjectData oracle.ifs.beans.LibrarySession.DMNewSchemaObject(oracle.ifs.server.S_LibraryObjectDefinition)

void fr.sword.ifs.GestionDocument.IFSDocument.createDocument(java.lang.String)
void fr.sword.ifs.GestionDocument.IFSDocument.main(java.lang.String[])
So, what am i doing wrong ?
More generally, are we restricted in the types of the attributes ? (for example, would it be possible to add an attribute that would be an inputStream ? Or an object that i have already created ?).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Guillaume,
you're welcome. Don't know exactly, but assume that ATTRIBUTEDATATYPE_UNKNOWN
is used to check for erronous cases only
and it shouldn't be used otherwise.
Creating your own objects could be simply done via
ClassObject ifsClassObject;
DocumentDefinition ifsDocDef = new DocumentDefinition(ifsSession);
// get class object for my very own document
ifsClassObject = ClassObject.getClassObjectFromLabel(ifsSession, "MYDOCUMENT");
// set the class for the document i'd like to create
ifsDocDef.setClassObject(ifsClassObject);
// set attributes and content for the document...
ifsDocDef.setAttribute("MYFOO_ATTRIBUTE",....);
ifsDocDef.setContent("This is the content of my document");
// create the document...
PublicObject doc = ifsSession.createPublicObject(ifsDocDef);

Custom Attribute not available in Available Fields section of Configuration

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to add a custom search field in contact search screen. For that i tried various options
Option1
Added a model attribute in component/view BP_CONT SEARCH/Search. The attribute got successfully added. But when i opened the Configuration tab, i could not see the attribute in the available fields.
Option 2
In the view CRMVC_SDESIGN, i created a new entry for my attribute in object type: BP_CONTACT and design object . But doing so, i got an error and was not able to add my attribute
Option3
Since the View context node 'Search' is bound to the Component Controller Context node 'Search'. I created my custom attribute in compoennt controller also. But this also did not help.
Option 4
I deleted the enhancement of the view and created a new enhancement. I created a value node in Search context node. But still the attribute is not available in the Availble Fields in the Configuration of component/view BP_CONT_SEARCH/SEARCH.
Kindly provide your valuable suggestions to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Radhika
Edited by: Radhika Chuttani on Jan 6, 2012 7:28 AM

Hi Radhika,
You need to enhance the search query structure as well in order to get the field in the configuration.
You can find the BOL structure for the corresponding context node bol model.
In your case, the BOL model is the search object 'BuilContactAdvancedSearch'.
The corresponding structure can be found at the BOL Model Browser, under Dynamic Query Objects
for the search object 'BuilContactAdvancedSearch'. The corresponding structure 'CRMT_BUPA_IL_CONP_SEARCH'
has to be enhanced with the new custom attribute. Only then, this field would be available in the configuration
when the following htm code gets executed when you open the configuration tab.
<thtmlb:advancedSearch id                = "advs0"
                                 fieldMetadata     = "<%= controller->GET_DQUERY_DEFINITIONS( ) %>"
                                 header            = "<%= SEARCH->get_param_struct_name( ) %>"
                                 fieldNames        = "<%= controller->GET_POSSIBLE_FIELDS( ) %>"
                                 values            = "//SEARCH/PARAMETERS"
                                 maxHits           = "//SEARCH/MAX_HITS"
                                 ajaxDeltaHandling = "false"
                                 onEnter           = "search" />
Here you can see that, it reads the parameter structure using the method SEARCH->get_param_struct_name( ) of
the context node.This is used for configuration as well.
Also if you have an F4 help for your custom attribute, you have to add it in the GET_DQUERY_DEFINITIONS( ) of the
view controller. These additional information will help you to understand better.

Leon

Help needed in Inbox search for Custom attribute

Hi,
We have a requirement where in we are having a custom attribute on Service request to store the ECC Order number.
We have enhanced the Inbox search to retreive all the service requests havig the ECC order number.
Here we are encountering a problem. i just created a new crm service request and entered order number 1234. and now when i search for the same in Inbox search giving the criteria order number as 1234. I get no results found. But when i extend the max list to 2000, then i see the service request appearing in the result list. not sure about the algorithm that is designed for inbox search.
Any pointers on how to resolve this issue would be of great help.
Thanks,
Udaya

Hi,
I do not have the time to research this completely, but I had a short look into the class you posted.
In the GET_DYNAMIC_QUERY_RESULT there is a call to CL_CRM_QCOD_HELPER->PREPROCESS( )
A little bit lower there are blocks marked by comments for the single searches that are handled by this class. I had a look into the campaign_serach() method. There if you scroll a little bit down (around line 123) they set all search parameters to SIGN = 'I' OPTION = 'EQ'. This is done several times below as well.
Set a breakpoint in the proprocess() method and check which of the blocks is called and how they handle your search criteria.
Hope it helps.
cheers Carsten

How do I access the name of the file stored in a custom attribute?

I have created a custom attribute based on a file type and am using it in a custom page type. However, the value stored in wwsbr_folder_attributes is a sequential number rather than the name of the jpg file entered into the attribute. How do I access the true filename, as this seems to be what I need in order to reference it in an <IMG SRC=> tag?

Hi Francis -
You should be able to use this relatively use this sequential number in an image tag in the following way:
<img border="0" src="docs/1/211800.GIF" width="470" height="108">
Hope this helps,
Candace
