OIM 11g Approval Workflow - Error

Hi All,
I have created a approval workflow (Operational) in OIM11g. Have deployed it as a soa-composite and registered with OIM. Till here everything went fine.
I have created an apporval policy, to assign to requests of a specific type of resource .
When the resource is requested, the approval workflows is gettign triggered,but the request goes to failed state.
I am getting any exceptions in the logs / on the console.
Has anyone encountered this kind of issue.

VickyCheck your SOA server through the em and that should show you your request and the fault states and everything .. that should give you an idea on what is going wrong ...

OIM 11g Approval Workflow Notification questions

Hello.
I am working with an OIM 11g approval workflow. The workflow will flow from one group to another, and if one user in each group approves it, it is approved. Because I assigned it to groups, the notifications are going to every user in each group.
Is it possible to send a notification to only a single user within a group, instead of everyone? Does auto claim do this?
Is it possible to send a different notification if the ApprovalTask is rejected versus approved?
Thanks.

If I understand correctly, you want to send the notification only to the user who has approved the request and not to all in the group. You can do it by NOT using the notification tab in the .task but by using EmailNotificationService after the .task in BPEL. There you can read the data from payload on who approved the request and can send the notification only to that user. Same way for rejects. You can configure that.
1. After your .task completion you can have a decision box which can check the value for 'outcome' and then direct it to appropriate path for appropriate notification.
or
2. Based on outcome you can set the template in a variable and then in the notificationservice use that variable.

OIM 11g Approval Workflow Notification Configuration

Dear All,
Is there any documentation guide or tutorial or step by step guide about how to configure approval workflow notification in oim 11g?
In my case, a request must be approve by 3 (three) level of approver, "Requester Manager" --> "Application Business Owner" --> "Application Administrator". On each level, a notification need to be sent to the approver contains all information about the requester and the resource that requested.
How can i configure the notification since approval processes are in SOA composite and the development of the workflow is using JDeveloper?
Many Thanks for your help.

Hi
Please go through the link, You can configure notification any time based on you requirement. You have to get emails to whom you want to sent, just set this mail in a variable. Use this variable as to ,..

OIM 11g - Approval workflows for disabled user accounts

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein a user will be created in OIM with a future start date resulting in a Disabled Untill Start Date user status. Once the user is created, we should let anyone submit a New Hire form for the user and the submitted form needs to be approved by the Manager. Once the Manager approves the form, the target accounts should get created with disabled status. These accounts should get enabled on the start date.
As submission of New Hire Form is not a straightforward process, we came up with the following design.
A dummy resource object corresponding to the New Hire Form will be created and can be requested for a newly hired person by anyone who has OIM access. An approval workflow will be configured for the New Hire Form Resource object and provisioning of target accounts will be based on Manager's approval for this resource object.
However the challenge that we see with this design is, it wasn't possible to place a request for New Hire Form dummy resource object for a disabled user. But the requirement is to complete the New Hire Form submission process befor the user becomes active.
How can these workflows be invoked for a disbaled user? Is there any other way to implement this requirement?
Any kind of help/guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Deepa

If I create a dummy resource, called "Group Membership" for example, and use this to show the groups that are available in AD, how can I have the request be routed to different approvers? For example, group cn=HR Users,cn=Users,dc=company,dc=com needs to be routed to HR for approval. Group cn=IT,cn=Users,dc=company,dc=com needs to be routed to IT for approval. How can I change the approvers dynamically?
Re: Spawning multiple approval tasks in parallel in OIM11g SOA Composite
You can have dynamic task assignment in BPEL; where you defne a variable in the task assignment and update the variable with the approver group name before triggering the task assignment task. Check BPEL docs for same.
If every group needs a different approver, and there are 5000 groups, can I make 5000 resources and use the built-in routing of approvals? Or, use the dummy resource approach and handle the management of the approvals in some other way.Just make one resource with one field attached to it which takes in the group name and handle approval in SOA by reading a lookup which has AD group to Approval Group mapping.

Sending email notifications in oim 11g approval flow dynamically

Hi,
I have 4 level approval workflow in oim 11g and developed custom composite to get all the approver ids and and assigning these ids into 4 variables.
And used these variables in my custom 4 level sequential workflow. This workflow is working fine. Now I need to update this composite to send email notifications to the approver. So updated code to retrieve email ids and to store them in 4 more vairables. I cannot send all emails at a time thru the code. I need to send email only to the corresponding approver only when the flow reaches to that particular level.
Subject and body will be same but the email address will vary.
Can you please let me know the step by step process to implement notifications to these many levels.
If you think, this is not correct approach (storing all email ids in variables and then sending notifications), please let me know correct approach.
Thanks,
Mary

The way to do it would be to put your human task inside a while loop. This while loop would set a variable to the approver's userid and would continue till all the four approve it. In your human task you need just one approver and that would be the variable which the while loop sets.
If you do it this way, then you can use the OOTB notification tab in the .task and select the 'Assignee' as the email notification receiver and you won't have to worry about getting the email ids as well.
As for the current approach which you have, that is of using the sequential approvers in the human task, I haven't tried it, but just try setting the notification tab in the .task to 'Assignee' and event 'On Assignment'. That should do it as well.

Approval workflow error when creating a new custom entity in FIM 2010 R2

Hello,
i'm hoping somebody here can help, me i've been struggling with this for some time now. On a fresh FIM installation i create a custom entity named "Role" and add a few custom attributes.
I then create an approval workflow and MPR for normal users to create entities of type Role, but another user must approve this request. The other user has a working mailbox - i've tried firing an action workflow that sends a mail notification when someone
creates a new role and it is working fine. But, when i enable my approval workflow (the only field i changed from default is the approver) on the MPR, the workflow always failes with the message:
Error processing your request: The operation was rejected because of access control policies.
Reason: The server workflow rejected the operation.

OIM 11gR2 Approval workflow not getting triggered

I created an approval workflow by following the 11gR2 developer's guide and deployed it. then created an app instance and also an approval policy for operational level which is auto approved and for request level with this composite. when i raise a request for this app instance in the catalog the SOA composite is not getting triggered. I am able to see a task in pending approval of system admin whenever i raise request for any user and if i complete that pending approval the app gets provisioned directly. Also i do not see any request ID also. please help to find out whats going wrong

Now i tried raising a request from another user who is not a member of SYSADMIN role. This time the request id is generated and a task 'Manual Task for Provision operation for Beneficiary X' is generated in pending approvals of xelsysadm user. When completed the app instance gets provisioned. So this means operational level approval task is triggered? and it has auto-provisioning?
why my custom approval workflow is not getting triggered?
I have created 2 approval policies, one for request level which is auto approval and other for operational level where i have selected the deployed composite name.In both the approval policies i have selected the request type as Provision ApplicationInstance. There is no error also while deploying the composite. Am i missing any step? please help.

OIM 11g integration AutoLogin error (first login or forgot password)

Hi,
We are currently integrating OAM+OIM 11g (R2). We have used a 10g webgate for this.
When the user logs in for the first time, and sets his password and answers the challenge questions, he should be "Auto logged in" when he is finished.
The same scenario should happen, if the user forgot his password, and resets it. He should be "Auto-logged in" when finished.
This is not happending for us.
The OIM logs tells us this:
ERROR: Autologin failed oracle.iam.ui.platform.sso.exception.AutoLoginException: Error occured while retrieving TAP partner key from Credential store
We have tried to verify everything recommended by this Oracle Support article:
How to Solve Autologin problems in OIM with OAM? [ID 1475297.1]
Any ideas what we are missing?
Thanks & Regards,
Henrik

Maybe this is a something?
Whate should the value of the property OAM_SERVER_VERSION be, when running idmConfigTool.sh and using a 10g webgate for the integration?
Chapter 7.6 in the integration documentation states this:
OAM_SERVER_VERSION: 11g (use 10g if Oracle Access Manager 10g is used)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/integration.1112/e27123/oim.htm#CACFCJHI
Under chapter 2.4.5 in the idmConfigTool documentation it's described like this:
OAM_SERVER_VERSION: Required only when Access Manager server does not support 11g webgate in Oracle Identity Manager-Access Manager integration. In that case, value should be provided as '10g'.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/integration.1112/e27123/idmcfgtool.htm#CIHCICHD
When we ran the script, we had the value set to "11g" (because that's our OAM version)... now I'm wondering if I need to set this value at all..
Regards,
Henrik

OIM 11g Approval Process

Hi Expert/All,
May I have assistance regarding the OIM 11g?
Currently, I already create one approval (only 1 level approval) for some resource in OIM 11g, then I'm continue to test the resource with two below way:
1. If I'm try to add "New Resource" directly by xelsysadm via manage user menu (without approval process), the provisioning process was successfully creating new account in the target system.
2. The wierd is if I'm try to test Self-service request by user, after approval by last level approval, then there is no provisioning activity by OIM system, it is like OIM do nothing. The request status is show "Obtaining Template Approval" and history approval is complete by manager user (only 1 level approval)
My question is, does it still required any configuration for completing the provisioning process after the approval process?
Thanks,
Ricky R

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the information, but it still do nothing, OIM did not continue the provisioning account to target system event I already assign SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR roles to the user and manager. How I can trace this logs? currently I'm just look at the oim_server1.log at <OIM_DOMAIN>/severs/oim_server1/logs. Is there any other log file can we use to trace the app server logs?
Thanks,
Ricky R

OIM - Update Approval Workflow

Hi all, is it possible in OIM to define a update approval workflow?
The workflow will be triggered when the user tries to update a spesific attribute in the resource form.
Is it possible?

Request to modify does not exist within OIM. You would need to create a generic object to be able to submit a request for a modification which would then lookup the appropriate object for the user and then provision the changes to that object.
