OIM 11g: send direct link to approval tasks in email notification

Hi all!
What do I want to achieve: I want to send email notification to assignee in case if some approval task in OIM has assigned to them and this notification must have a direct link to the page of approval task details from which assignee can approve or reject an approval task.
The default email notification that exists in approval task “DefaultRoleApproval” has a direct link to a request details page:
<a href="<%substring-before(/task:task/task:payload/task:url , "/workflowservice/CallbackService")%">/oim/faces/pages/Self.jspx?OP_TYPE=LOOKUP&E_TYPE=MY_REQUEST&T_ID=<%/task:task/task:payload/task:RequestID%>>
But unfortunately from this page we can’t do any action such as reject or approve.
To find a direct link to an approval task details page (Self Service -> Tasks -> Task Details: Approval) from which I can perform needed operation I used document ID 748447.1. But I haven’t found a direct link.
What is the direct link to task details page for approval with exact ID which I can include in an email to satisfy my requirement?
Thanks in advance!</a>

If at all you cannot get the direct link for approve/reject then try the actionable email from SOA. Once you have that configured the emails gets approver/reject links so that approvers can directly approve/reject the task from email. If that works for you then you can look at the format of those links in the email and deduce what you need the url as.

OIM 11g: send direct link to provisioning tasks in email notification

Hi everyone!
What do I want to achieve: I want to send email notification to admins in case if some task in OIM has finished with errors and this notification must have direct link to this task.
To find direct link to task detail page I used document ID 748447.1. I found that this link must be formed in next way:
http://ip.address:port/xlWebApp/OpenTasks.do?method=loadTaskDetails&entityKey=<TaskID>
To create this link I must insert ID of the task to the end of the string.
Next I created email template via design console and attached it in notification tab of the task to status ‘R’.
The problem is next: during creation email template there are any variables that holds task ID.
How can I obtain ID of task in an email template?

Thanks for the quick response!
I use a standard mechanism for sending notifications - via email template. This is a standard mechanism has a number of variables that are dynamically calculated at the time of posting. Among these available variables do not have the required me taskid.
Is there any mechanism which would give an opportunity to expand the list of dynamically calculated variables in a way that I figured taskid?
Or what do you mean by the phrase "+have to fetch it from the database+"?
I do not know how to connect the logic of its own calculation of the required variables in the template notifications.

OIM 11g - Email Notification with direct link to Approval Task Details

Hi,
We wanted to send email notifications to approver with direct link to the approval task details screen from which the user can either approve or reject the request. In OIM 11g OOTB Notification templates such as Request Creation contains the direct link to Request Detail screen which is something like
http://localhost:14000/oim/faces/pages/Self.jspx?OP_TYPE=LOOKUP;E_TYPE=MY_REQUEST&T_ID=65
Wondering if there is something similar for Approval Task Details screen as well.
Any kind of help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Deepa

Direct Link to Next Task via Email

I would like to send a direct link to the next process task via e-mail. In this scenario a user would receive notification to complete a task assigned to them and be able to access that task directly from a link in the mail.
I am currently able to send out notifications and provide test links in that notification. What I do not yet know is how to link directly to the next task.
Is there a WebDynpro app provided by GP where you can pass a process task id as a parameter and link directly to that task in runtime? If so how do I retrieve the task id of the next task from the process?
Best Regards

Hi,
Before the process step for which you want to send the notification to the user add another process step using the pre-defined callable object Send Notification. You need to assign a mail template to that CO. So create a mail template with a standard message body and include the following as a replacement for the next task URL :
`
writeln(sy.workitemurl);
`
Assign the send mail to the same processor of the next action and when the user gets the mail the URL of the next task will be present in the mail message. Clicking that he/she can directly open the next task in portal.

BPM Notification error - no direct link to the task in the message

Hello, why the notification message has no direct link to the task? Instead of the link there is a message "Link could not be evaluated, navigate to your inbox manually".
NWCE7.2SP6

did you set the base url when configure the BPM?

Form link does not appear in email notification.

Form link does not appear in email notification
We have added a custom notification to the OM workflow process. The notification itself has a form attribute which provides a link to the sales order form. This works fine when notification is viewed via worklist - notifications within apps. The link does not appear in the email notification.
Is there any alternate way to provide a form link to Oracle Applications form that can be accessed via email (after logging into application, if the user is not logged in).
Thanks

Similar functionality is available in PO and Req Approval process. Can you take a look at the PO Approval Process workflow? I remember the email notification does show the link, which is a URL link and has parameters in it. This functonality provides where the approvers need to modify the document which is requested to be approved. So they can click on the link, modify and close and approve if necessary.
Are you expecting them to modify the same or you just want to show query only screen?
There is a webpage available to see order information called Order Information (user Order Information User resp). You can send parameters to that webpage and that should show login page opening up a seperate session with all the parameters in the URL. Once logged in that should show order information.

Does the Task Status Email Notification definition work for you?

Hi,
Have you ever set the email definition Task Status Email Notification? Worked?
I've configured this template in my process tasks notifications. The e-mails for C and R status were sent OK but the values were all empty. Below are the subject and body of this email definition.
Subject
Process task <Process Definition.Tasks.Task Name> is <Process Instance.Task Details.Data>.
Body
The Process task <Tasks.Task Name> is <Task Details.Status>.
The details of this process task are as follows:
Process Task Name: <Process Definition.Name>
Process Task Status: <Task Details.Status>
Resource Name: <Resource.Resource Name>
Target User: <Users.First Name> <Users.Last Name> [<Users.User ID>]
Assigned to: <Process Instance.Task Information.Assignee First Name> <Process Instance.Task Information.Assignee Last Name> [<Process Instance.Task Information.Assignee User ID>]
Response Code : <Responses.Response>
Response Description : <Responses.Description>
Error Details : <Task Details.Reason>

Thanks for your attention.
For all custom process tasks I have set this definition to notify the target user, for example, when the task is Completed or Rejected. For all all I've got the same problem: the notification e-mail is sent but the values are all empty.
I thought the tags were based on the fields returned by the getProvisioningTaskDetails that returns the information below. But you can see the tags are different from.
Process Instance.Task Details.Key
Process Instance.Task Details.Type
Process Instance.Task Details.Status
Process Instance.Task Details.Data

Use OIM 11g UI directly for password resets

1. What is the best practice in using OIM for password resets? Two options that i have usually heard of are writing a custom app or UI and use OIM APIs for password resets. The other is use OIM UI directly.
Are there any other options.
2. Of the two options mentioned above, are there any concerns if we want to expose the OIM UI password reset link to internet- example, post the OIM UI link across the company's website which is available to everybody?
Regards,
Anand

People,
Any help will be really appreciated. I am looking for some suggestions in this regards. Thanks

OIM 11g Sending Notification on OIM User creation

Hi Gurus!
I have the following requirement: Whenever a user is created in OIM (through the Administration Console, through Request or through trusted reconciliation) an email notification is to be sent to the user's manager, informing him/her that his/hers collaborator has a given user login (autogenerated) and a password (also autogenerated) and which has to be changed the first time the recently created user logs into OIM.
I saw that in OIM we have Email Definitions (in the Design Console) and Notification Templates (in the Administration Console).
I tried to use the Email Definitions but I am not able to select the usr_password field in the variables section so I could not use this solution which seemed to be very easy to use since one can directly use the email definition in the Notification tab in the process tasks.
Afterwards I analysed the Notification Templates solution. I defined the xml of the Event Type and in the Notification Template (in the Administration Console) I was able to select usr_password as a variable of the notification. However, when I tried to develop the Java code (class implementing NotificationEventResolver), although I was able to extract most of the fields of the OIM user profile, I could not extract the usr_password field... It seems the usr_password field (which is encrypted) cannot be obtained from the UserManager service.
How can I get the user password and inject it into the email notification?
Many Thanks!

Check this: Re: Xellerate User Password decrypt and look at the code posted there by me. Since you are using the notification resolver, you can use the PasswordManager to get the password for the user in your code.

OIM 11g: How to remove rule requiring unique user email addresses

Use the OIM 11g Administrative and User Console to update a user's email address to be the same as another user's address and on save you get error message:
"The user with the attribute Email and value [email protected] already exists"
In OIM 9.1 we used to be allowed duplicate email addresses.
OIM 11g wants them to be unique (refer OIM 11g User Guide table 11-2 in section "11.2 User Entity Definition" which shows the email attribute properties with unique:yes).
How do you change this to "unique:no"?
The OIM 11g Admin Guide section "14 Configuring User Attributes" describes the User.xml file in MDS but doesn't mention unique properties.
The System Properties accessed via System Management->System Configuration doesn't show anything that looks like an option to enforce email address uniqueness.
Thanks

OIM 11g does not allow duplicate email addresses. We asked Oracle about this and they responded that the feature (duplicate email addresses) was "removed from OIM 11g due to sending mail notifications, security and other related
concerns". We think we can live with this restriction and did not make an enhancement request.
The user guide does show that email address is unique:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14316/usr_mangmnt.htm#BGBDCDCH
but there's no way to override the rule.

AP Approval Request Information email notification doesnot work

I have setup AP approval with AME ( oracle ver 11.5.10.2 and AME Ver B). The Approve and reject actions on the email notification work fine but when approver clicks on "Request information" then the reply screen is displayed as below:
Request more information from: 'Enter Requestee role here'
Question: 'Enter your question here'
NID[2920949/1421900579@WFMAIL][3]
workflow for APINV is not getting the value for 'Enter Requestee role here' automatically . Is this standard functionality? I have setup GL journal approval and requistion approval but i didnot get into this issue .
Please also advise why APinv is getting Role instead of user. the email notification is getting "accouts payable" instead of the person who created the invocie. the TO is correct as it shows the approver user name. i.e
the notification shows:
From: To
Accounts Payable Steve,Bush
Please Help.
Thanks,
Steve

guys - if you are 11.5.10 and implementing AP approval then the request information action does not work..i.e approver cannot just click on request infromation and ask any question to the sender .....oracle has ER for this....do not know why they have to remove this....

Is there a way to attach files linked in FormCentral form to email notifications?

As part of my FormCentral form design, the end User is required to link a file (copy of Purchase Order). Is there a way of forcing this file to attach to the email notifications? I can obviously see the file attachments in the backend and download from there, but it would be preferable if I could deliver with the email notification to circumvent other processes.
Any suggetsions?

Sorry this is not possible to have the files attached to the email notification.

Task Assignment Email Notifications

In LiveCycle ES 8.2 after a task has been assigned to a group all members of that group are sent an email notification. I just noticed that some of the groups I have setup have more then 10 users, and the email notification is only going to the first 10 users in that group, the others users are not receiving an email notification. Is there a configuration setting that will alow me to change this limit to more than 10 users or is this the default limit set by the system that can't be changed.

Hi Folks
This issue was fixed in ES2.

ARD Task server email notification trouble shooting

I have set up my ARD Task Sever successfully. I am able to push out task from my machine to the task sever. I have set up the default mail script and was able to test it manually by running ./Notify and get an email. When I have a job set up to run I do not get a notification. I set up a simple task (Repair Permissions to test) and was unable to get ARD to send an email.
I took an additional step of changing the notification to changing the mail to go the mail server to where the task server is running. the address would read something like [email protected] Again I was able to test this manually and was able to get an email. Is there an additional file I need to edit or another setting to change to get that notification working?

Hi:
Try using formatDateTime() function if you are using BPEL process.
Try using HTML, it works.
