Issue Setting Resource Attributes via Workflow Process

I'm currently trying to set resource attributes via a workflow process, but for whatever reason the attribute is not detected as "changed" and the update object has nothing about the attribute. I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong with the way I'm setting it, or if I'm missing a piece to apply the upate.
What I'm doing is...
1. Checking out the user view
2. updating the attribute via code something like this...
<set name='user.accounts[ldap].attributeIWantToChange'>
Logic in here
</set>
3. then I'm checking the view back in.
Anyone know why this isn't working(I can set other attributes like waveset.roles fine this way)?

Figured it out, have to load a different form in when I check the view out, the tabbed user's form will not update resource attributes.

Powershell - Bulk Set-ADUser attributes via a CSV file

I am attempting to do a Bulk replace of AD User account attributes via a CSV file. Each line in this script works except the part of Set-ADUser where I enter -Replace $attribs. I'm not sure how to code this
part.
<#
The .csv file should have the following headers (first line)
GroupName,Status,Approver1,Approver2,Owner
#>
#Import CSV
$csv = @()
$csv = Import-Csv -Path "C:\TempAdd_Grp_Attrib.csv"
#Loop through all items in the CSV
ForEach ($item In $csv)
$gname = $item.GroupName
$attribs = @{'extensionAttribute2'=$item.Status; 'extensionAttribute3'=$item.Approver1; 'extensionAttribute4'=$item.Approver2; 'managedBy'=$item.Owner}
Set-ADGroup -Identity $gname #-Replace $attribs

Yes. I am attempting to update the AD Group extension attributes.
The code below works, but I know I can streamline this if I use the INSTANCE, which I am having an issue with (Set-ADGroup -Instance $Update)
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
<#
The .csv file should have the following headers (first line)
GroupName,Status,Approver1,Approver2,Owner
#>
#Import CSV
$date = get-date -Format "MMddyyyymm"
$csv = @()
$csv = Import-Csv -Path "C:\Temp\Add_Grp_Attrib2.csv"
#Loop through all items in the CSV
ForEach ($item In $csv)
$Update=(Get-ADGroup $item.GroupName -Properties extensionAttribute2,extensionAttribute3,extensionAttribute4,ManagedBy);
$Update."extensionAttribute2"=$item.Status
$Update."extensionAttribute3"=$item.Approver1
$Update."extensionAttribute4"=$item.Approver2
# Set-ADGroup -instance $Update
Set-ADGroup -Identity $item.groupName -ManagedBy $item.Owner
Get-ADGroup $item.GroupName -Properties extensionAttribute2,extensionAttribute3,extensionAttribute4,ManagedBy | select name,extensionAttribute2,extensionAttribute3,extensionAttribute4,ManagedBy | Export-Csv "C:\temp\Add_Grp_Attrib_Updates_$date.csv" -NoTypeInformation

OIM 11g R2: Setting target attribute dependend on process type (create, update, disable)

Hi,
I try to set an attribute ("Action") of users on a target system (Lotus Notes) dependend on the type of process that was carried out:
When the user is created in Lotus Notes by oim, "Action" should be set to the value "create".
When the user is updated in Lotus Notes by oim, "Action" should be set to the value "update".
When the user is disabled in Lotus Notes by oim, "Action" should be set to the value "disable".
What would be the easiest way to achieve that? And how exactly would I have to set that up? (I have tried reading the documentation on Adapter Tasks, however I wasn't able to get that to working...).
Thank you!
M

Hi J,
thanks for your reply. I had some troubles trying to follow your description, but this is what I did:
1) Create one field in your process form as "Action".
I used the pre-existing field "RoamSubdir"
2) Create a new Process Task in Lotus Notes Process Defn for "Action Updated" (You can use OOTB adapter for mapping purpose)
DesignConsole: Process Management > Process Definition > "Lotus User", Add: "RoamSubdir Updated"
3) Create a new Process Task Adapter which populates which takes input as input1 and return the input.
Development Tools: Adapter Factory > Adapter Name "RoamSubdirAction", Adapter Type: "Process Task" > Tab "Variable List", Add "Name: input1, Type: String, Mapped As: Resolve at runtime", Tab "Adapter Tasks" > Add "Logic Task", "Set Variable", Variable Name "Adapter return value", Operand Type "Variable", Operand Qualifier "input1"; Click "Build".
4) Create 3 Process Tasks in Lotus Notes Process Defn . One for each action. For example: Update Action As Enable, Update Action As Disable, Update Action As Create. In each process tasks, pass input as Enable,Disable and Create respectively.
Process Management > Process Definition > "Lotus User", Add: Task Name: "Update SubRoamdir As create", Tab "Integration", Add, "Adapter", adpROAMSUBDIRACTION. Edit "2|N|input1|input", Map To: Literal, String, create; Edit "1|N|AdapterReturnValue|ReturnVariable", Map To: Process Data, Qualifier: RoamSubdir
5) Map each tasks created at step 4 to success of Create User, Enable User, Disable user respectively.
Process Definition > Edit "Create User" > Task Dependency, Dependent Tasks, Assign "Update RoamSubdir as create"
However, this does NOT work. When provisioning a new user on Lotus, looking into the resource history I can see that "Update RoamSubdir as create" is NEVER called.
Did I do something wrong?
Thanks for your help,
M

Set OU Attribute via Script

Is it possible to set the "ou" attribute of a computer object in AD via script? That attribute is not listed as an option in Set-ADComputer and it doesn't auto-populate based on the OU the object is in. How can I programatically set
the attribute rather than modifying each individual object manually?

You can populate it with Set-ADComputer.
Set-ADcomputer -Identity xxx -add @{ou="yyy"}

Disable resource account via Workflow

Hello I created a transition in the Update User workflow to disable a resource account if a field is indicated in the admin tabbed user form.
This activity works but all resource accounts (email, AD) are being disabled. Only email needs to be disabled. How do I get the 'services' value to take effect?
<Activity id='9' name='DisableAccountAccess'>
        <Action id='0' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
          <Argument name='op' value='disableUser'/>
          <Argument name='accountId' value='$(user.waveset.accountId)'/>
          <Argument name='doWaveset' value='false'/>
          <Argument name='services'>
            <list>
              <s>emailResource</s>
            </list>
          </Argument>
        </Action>
        <Transition to='Notify'/>
      </Activity>also tried below code but have been unable to get it to work.
<Activity id='9' name='DisableAccountAccess'>
        <Action id='0' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>

          <Argument name='authorized' value='true'/>
        </Action>
        <Transition to='Notify'/>
      </Activity>I would prefer to use the first method. Thank you in advance for your help

After having a chance to actually look at the documentation I figured I'd add one more thing for those who happen to stumble across this in a search later. You are, of course, right. The services argument is what you need for disable user.
For others reading this I should correct my previous posting. The "TargetResources" setting tends to be more of a form property rather than a workflow argument although it can be used with the checkoutView and checkinView workflow services. It is recommended by Sun, in the performance tuning guide, to keep views as small as necessary in order to speed things up.

Set resource attribute with srvctl instead of crsctl ?

Hello,
We're in 11gR2, Grid Infrastructure.
CMOS note 790189.1 states that "using crs_* or crsctl commands on resources with the prefix ora.* (resources provided
by Oracle) remains unsupported".
So do you think there's a way to modify the AUTO_START attribute of a cluster resource through the use of srvctl instead
of crsctl ?
(I found no "srvctl modify resource" option likely to do this trick...)
Thanks.
Seb

Is your end goal to stop the service from starting automatically? If so, then use srvctl disable service. You will have to enable it before it can be started.
Cheers,
Brian

approved and I click on Done and come out of document,the Approved
supplier checkbox is unchecked though the supplier is created and we
are getting a background error as well saying that the approver does
not have enough permission to view the document though we have provided
all the necessary rights to the Approver, please suggest as what could
be the rerason for Approved supplier to be unchecked though the script
is running fine and what could be the reason for background error as
this is not the expected behavior.

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. I couldn't get you from the below quote
Does you SMTP server accept anonymous connections?
Anonymous in the sense that you mean like Unauthenticated connection. Yes my mail server is unauthenticated server, hence it doesn't require any username and password.

How to get the Asset's current step under a specific workflow process via API?

Everyone,
Is there a way to get the asset's current step for a specific workflow process by the WebCenter Sites API? We are showing out the asset created within the WebCenter Sites in another application via its API. We would like some actions get to be done once determined assets went into a specific step of a workflow process. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Regards!

Here is some information from the FDK Programmer's guide page 115:
IMPORTANT: A valid text range can span multiple paragraphs, subcolumns, or text frames.
It cant span multiple flows, footnotes, table cells, or text lines.
It is possible for a document to have no text selection or insertion point at all. This can occur in
the following circumstances:
● One or more graphic objects in the document are selected
● One or more entire table cells in the document are selected
● There is no selection of any type in the document
So, I did select one or more entire table cells in the document in my first test. It's logical that the result was not like expected.
But selecting one or more entire table cells is a crucial requirement for my plugin, is there anyway to get things straight?
Simply put, I want to enable users to select one or more table cells in the document, and I want to get the object handles of the first cell and the last cell through Framemaker API calls. How?
Many thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Ellen N. Zhao

FIM 2010 Workflow Processing Issue

Hi All,
We are having a problem with FIM 2010 (Update Rollup 2) workflow processing.
Background is:
            Set: Object State 2 set (criteria based membership, criteria includes AUX_Attr1 ‘NOT Equal’ 3)
            Set Object State 3 Set (Manually managed membership)
WF1: set AUX_Attr1 to 3
WF2 : Set AUX_Attr1 to 2
MPR 1: Transition in MPR (Transition set = Object State 2 set), fires WF2
MPR 2: Transition in MPR (Transition Set = Object State 3 Set), fires WF1
What we are seeing is the following:
            We add a user to “Object State 3 Set”
From the request history we can see that:
The successful request for the set membership change (transition in Object State 3 Set)
The successful request by the Forefront Identity Manager Service Account to set AUX_Attr1 to 3
and FIM correctly fires MPR 2, this sets AUX_Attr1 to 3 and this has been verified by looking through the request history
            A couple of seconds later FIM fires WF2 which sets AUX_Attr1 back to 2.
            The request history shows no signs of the object transitioning back into “Object State 2 set” so I am unsure why this
workflow would trigger again.

Best thing to do with this problem is look at the request that caused this to happen and look for parent requests and for the applied policies

Roles Setting and Removing Resource Attributes

Hello All,
I have a quick question (Which I hope has a quick answer). I am trying to set up a role, so that when it is assigned to a user, sets an attribute value on an LDAP resource. Then, when the role is removed from the user, the attribute value is cleared. When setting up the role, I specified the resource as assigned, and then set the attribute. When I set the role on a user, it is successfully setting the value in the attribute. When I remove the role from the user, it is not removing the value in the attribute. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi,
When setting the RoleAttribute you need to set "Authoritive Set to Value, Clear Existing", then when the Role is removed from the user the attribute value is deprovisioned. Unfortunately this also has the affect of removing any other value that the attribute may have (especially true since many LDAP attributes are multi-valued).

Approval Process of Quotes via Workflow

Dear Experts,
I'm looking for a Workflow solution, with which I can elektronically appove a Quote. In detail it means e.g. to reales a quote, two sgnatures are mandetory. These two people should be chosen inside the quote as a partner. After Savind they should get an e-mail notification and be able to approve the quote via e-mail (Outlook) or inside SAP.
Is there a possibility to do that via workflow? How? Do anybody has some experience?
Other proposals?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Abbas

1. backup the existing Update user workflow as an xml file
2. Copy paste the same in the BPE.
3. Save the copy as a new object with a different name.
4. Edit the new workflow as follows:
4.1 Create new activity
4.2 In the new activity, add a variable with some name
4.3 create a new action, and let that action be a subprocess. For that subprocess, browse and choose 'Approval' as the action.
4.4 Add a argument as name=approvalForm and value=<name of approval form>
4.5 Include argument user=$(user), etc. (Check the original approval workflow to see what the names of the arguments are)
4.6 For return to=name of the variable declared, from=approved
4.7 Add a 'isTrue' condition for the variable declared.
5. Make the appropriate transitions, and ur ready to go.
Let me know if this helps. I can post some skeleton code tomorrow. I need to work on it. Drop a line at [email protected]

Hi,
You'll need to determine the values and populate the URL in a PL/SQL activity earlier in the process.

Attributes in Workflow

Hello everyone,
I would appreciate if someone can answer my question.
In my custom workflow, the user get a notification but i see that the "FROM" Label and the "DETAILS" Labels are empty. How to add appropriate values into those fields.
Thanks!!
Jim

Hi,
Either define a default value for the attribute, or call the appropriate API (WF_ENGINE.SetItemAttr???), or populate an event parameter (if you are starting the process via a business event).

Complete Defunct HR Workflow Processes = Notification Spam?

We recently started a Request Set that includes the 'Complete Defunct HR Workflow Processes' Concurrent Program. The first day we spawned ~270 notifications to people, basically telling them that a prior Notification was being cancelled. These were Notifications the user did not click the 'OK' button after reading.
A week later (after a patching event and instance bounce), several thousand NOtifications were spawned, with basically the same message. When i look at the wf_notifications table, comparing begin and end dates to the timeframe these were being spawned, i only see ~200 normal everyday notifications having been sent. But, when i look at the wf_notification_out table, there i see NOtifications in the thousands. They seem to be related to Event oracle.apps.wf.notification.send; but i cannot see what triggered this event.
To make matters worse, some of these are NOtifications that had already been sent the previous week, only this time multiple (in some cases hundreds) of copies were sent. Same Notification, re-sent hundreds of time.
The timing seems to suggest an instance bounce done shortly before people reported a problem.
Can anyone shed any light on why this haoppened? And how to stop this ever happening again?

Hi,
Did you run the purge routine after completing the concurrent request?
