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 ,..

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 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.

OIM Approval Workflow Scenario/Question

Hello,
Can anybody please explain how the approval workflow actually works in OIM?
Scenario - After a user does self registration using the web console - how can we specify tasks in between that workflow - so that the user's manager should receive/approve the request first and then suppose then the request goes to some Department Head for his approval and then only the user will receive and confirmation email for logging into OIM.
I understand the Provisioning workflow perfectly from OIM User Form to PRocess Form and from their to Target. But really want to understand this 'Approval/Self REgistration' workflow. Can anybody explain me with the steps that are needed to be configured in OIM Design Console for the 'scenario' explained above.
Many Thanks!

Hi,
There is one possible solution for your requirement. I jsut the forget the name of the workflow which trigger while self registration.
You can do one thing in that process add two task which assign task to manager and once he approved the request task will be assigned to deapartment head and once he approved the user will be created in OIM.
Task will be assigned not as approval but as asisgned task, if its ok with you; just try this and let me know.

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.

Hi,
Using the Sysadmin responsibility, please submit "Workflow Background Process" with the below parameters and see if it helps:
Process Deferred: Y
Process Timeout: Y
Please also see the following notes;

Customizing AP Invoice Approval Workflow Notification Page

Hi
I am trying to customize the AP Invoice Approval Workflow APINVAPR on 12.0.6.
The requirement is to show attachments to the invoice in the notifications screen which is an OA Framework based screen.
In the Notification message, there was an existing attribute #ATTACHMENTS that was pointing to INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS attribute.
I have added the code to set the attribute for the INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS in the package ap_workflow_pkg
wf_engine.setitemattrtext(itemtype => itemtype,
itemkey => itemkey,
ANAME => 'INVOICE_ATTACHMENTS',
avalue => 'plsqlblob:xx_ap_appr_wf_pkg.xx_notif_attach_procedure/' || to_char(l_doc_id)
But the attachments are still not showing up.
What else do I need to do to make the attachments show up.
The notification shows up in a OA Framework page /oracle/apps/ap/invoice/request/negotiation/webui/NotifPGRN&INVOICEID=-&INVOICE_ID-
Thanks

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.
