OIM 11g to provision a web services based application , how ?

Hi All,
I'm trying to provision using GTC connector in OIM but the problem is i know how to write a webservice but i'm newbie to OIM 11g so i am not able to integrate my webservice to the OIM GTC connector.
Highly appreciate if any one give me the background or steps to follow how to execute the provisioning using custom web service in OIM 11g.
Thanks

Hi,
-Just trying to help-
Based on OIM 11G requirements:
If your target system is a Web service that can accept and parse SPML-based provisioning requests packaged in SOAP messages, you can use the SPML provisioning format provider and Web Services provisioning transport provider.
You need not create custom provisioning providers.
1-SPML provisioning format provider
TargetOperation value object that is created by the SPML provisioning format provider and used as an input for the Web Services provisioning transport provider:
com.thortech.xl.gc.impl.prov.WSTransportTargetOperation
2-15.4 Web Services Provisioning Transport Provider

OIM to provision a web services based application , how ?

Hi All,
I want to provision to a system which is web services based. There is an ESB above that application which accepts requests for creating accounts etc.
I was thinking I could use OIM GTC SPML connector to provision to this system.
I spoke to the team which maintains ESB , and they were asking me whats SPML.so I figured customer's ESB may not support SPML requests.
They have sonic ESB , I dont know much here , as I am new to web services.
Here are my questions
1.What do we expect of Target system if we plan on using OIM GTC SPML connector ?
2.What is the solution for this situation.
3.Would it be a good idea to build a custom connector
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Pandu

Hi,
I have been working recently with the SPML GTC. Here are a few pointers:
i. OIM will invoke the target web-service synchronously i.e. it will wait for a response. So make sure the response is relatively quick.
ii. SPML is just a message format with some security headers included; In your scenario, you can ignore most of this.
iii. The tough part will possibly be the response back to OIM. This has to be in SPML or it will fail validation in OIM, therefore reflecting that the user provisioning failed(even if it did succeed in the target system)
iv. The target system, needs to send back to OIM an ID, psoID, which is what OIM will use to associate the user identity with the target resource. For eg., supposing you send a modifyRequest for an user existing on the target system, OIM will just send a message similar to
<modifyRequest psoID=TargetSystemUserID>
<firstname>NewFirstName</firstname>
</modifyrequest>
so, the point being: be careful what you send back in the response. (In our case we sent back the emailID as the psoID, as it was the key for our application)
v. And Finally, there are some issues we faced with the GTC itself, and have recently filed a bug. This might not be a problem in your case. However, stay warned: the GTC may not be ready for Production yet.
Will be glad to help you further, let me know.

How to open the link in new firefox window for web desktop based application? Or how to open the mail/website/rss link in new firefox window

I am using the firefox 3.6. My problem is that I am using the web desktop and few web desktop based application directly opens link. If I click on rss link than it opens in same window, so no longer access to web desktop. I want to open any kind of link in new window instead of same window. I have tired to change the value of browser.link.open_newwindow, browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction but doesn't work. Also gone through the https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.open but not sure where to do this in web desktop based application or firefox where we connect the web desktop?
Is there any way to open the link every time in new firefox window?

Hi Joseph,
the HTMLB link object misses the support for onClientClick through the tag lib, see hbj:link without onClientClick ? and OnClientClick Event for Link HTMLB Component for similiar problems and workarounds.
With this workaround, you can call for example an AbstractPortalComponent, implement doOnNodeReady (with an empty doContent method) and return the PDF, settings the content type on the http before etc.
Hope it helps

JDev 11g on WebLogic+TopLink+Web Services (getSharedSession() Disconnects)

I am facing an issue while using {color:#0000ff}TopLink{color} through a {color:#0000ff}web service{color} request.
I apologize for a lengthy posting but thought I should give as much information as possible.
Migration from TP4 to JDev 11g Production
I am in a process of {color:#0000ff}migration{color} of an application from {color:#0000ff}JDeveloper 11g TP4 to JDeveloper 11g Production{color}.
I am facing an issue using {color:#0000ff}TopLink{color} with {color:#0000ff}Web Services{color} on {color:#0000ff}Oracle WebLogic 10g Release 3.

Existing Application
This application uses {color:#0000ff}TopLink{color} and also has{color:#0000ff} JAX-WS{color} based web services.
The web services client calls the service endpoint that internally uses {color:#0000ff}TopLink{color} to make database calls.
We currently use {color:#0000ff}Tomcat{color} for deployment and the application works fine.
Issue while moving to Oracle WebLogic 10g R3
While porting this application to WebLogic we faced an issue wherein a call to the {color:#0000ff}web service{color} results in {color:#0000ff}disconnection{color} of existing {color:#0000ff}TopLink{color} {color:#000080}server session{color} and creation of new ones.
Some surfing on the net indicated that this could be due to the different class loaders that are used to access the TopLink server session.
You must login to the ServerSession before acquiring ClientSessions

Here is a log from our application

James,
My issue is resolved. Thanks for your tip.
I am using {color:#0000ff}SessionManager.getSession(...{color}
Solution:*
I changed the class loader while getting a session.
I had to extend the {color:#0000ff}SessionFactory{color} and override {color:#0000ff}both{color} the {color:#0000ff}getSharedSession(){color} methods while replacing {color:#ff0000}getClass().getClassLoader(){color} with {color:#0000ff}<MyLocatorSingletonBean>.getInstance().getClass().getClassLoader().{color}
Regrding Server Sessions*
While posting the question I had started thinking in the same direction of having sever sessions as singleton/Spring bean but sine this will change a lot of things in my current framework so decided I just use the above solution for now.
Really appreciated!

OIM 11g Double provisioning

Hi gurus,
I've configured access policy-based provisioning for Active Directory. Every time a user is created with a particular role, a provisioning for this user is started for the Active Directory resource.
Everything goes as expected except that two provisioning process instance are created, so the user is provisioned with two accounts.
I use OIM 11g 11.1.1.5.0

Vladimir

Hi Bikash,
just seen the bug page on Oracle support site. It reads just:
OIM CREATE MULTIPLE RESOURCE OBJECTS WHEN YOU REQUEST MULTIPLE ROLES
no any detail/workarounds etc. :-( So no support on support site this time.
More over, I assign a single role to a single user.
The problem seems to arise due to OIM creates multiple parallel processing threads for doing things, but failed to synchronise them properly. If I stop my execution thread just after it created a new user, but before the role is assigned to it for a while, everything seems to work Ok.
Regards,
Vladimir
PS: I'm still eager to hear of any solutions

How to create Web Service based on PI WSDL message

Hi all,
we have following scenario:
Within PI (version 7.1) we set up a message type and inbound service interface. This service interface should send the PI message to a web service running on a SAP J2EE (version 7.01). As the PI message is sent as WSDL I thought it should be easy to build a web service on the SAP J2EE based on this WSDL from PI.
Unfortunately, I have problems creating the Web Service.
For my current project we integrated the NWDI to the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and I'm required to add the Web Service to an existing DC (Development Component) within the NWDI.
What I tried so far is:
- I created a Deployable Proxy Project and within this I created a Client Proxy Definition based on the WSDL from the PI. But I can't add this Proxy to the DCs of the NWDI and I don't know how to implement my own coding here in order execute specific functions.
- I created a new class within the NWDI DC and a public method. Based on this I created a Virtual Interface and a Web Service Definition (WSD). Then I added this to a Web Service Deployment Descriptor. I uploaded this to the SAP J2EE. But I'm not able to access this and I don't know hoe to assign the WSDL here.
I also tried here to create a client proxy based on this WSD as I thought I might assign the WSDL here. But I don't see the WSD in the list of Web Services uploaded to the SAP J2EE...
Can you please advice me how to create a Web Service in such an environment?
regards
René Jurmann

Hi Tahir,
sorry that you needed to wait this long - but this is how I created the web service:
The steps on how to create the web service in NetWeaver Developer studio are nearly the same as described in the blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5838. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
Some steps I just skipped and some others I added. Some of the steps I did the way I described it as I needed to connect the web service with the SAP PI.
Prerequisites:
Add Java Perspective and J2EE Development Perspective to the open perspectives.
Within "Window - Preferences - Web Services" check "Soap extensions visible in the virtual interface editor"
The SDM of the corresponding SAP J2EE is configured within "Window - Preferences"
Create a Development Component (DC) with type "J2EE -> EJB Module"
The business logic of the web service will be implemented in an Enterprise Java Bean (EJB). So first the EJB component must be created:
 Choose "File -> New -> Other"
 In opening PopUp choose "Development Component -> Development Component Project"
 Select the Software Component for which you want to add the DC (e.g. "Local Development -> MyComponents")
 Choose now vendor, name and type:
 vendor is an alpha-numeric string of 20 characters starting with a letter - all in lower case
 name is an alpha-numeric string starting with a letter - all in lower case
 vendor and name concatenated must not be longer then 40 characters
 the name can be separated into different part using "/" as separator
 each part of the name must not be longer than 8 characters
 the type is "J2EE - EJB Module"
 you can specify a Caption as general description for the web service
Create new EJB
To create the EJB itself:
 In J2EE DC Explorer of J2EE Development Perspective expand new DC and right-click on folder "ejbModule"
 Choose "New - EJB" with following details:
 EJB Name: <name as for PI service Interface to be created - starting in upper case>
 EJB Project: <pre selected>
 Bean Type: Stateless Session Bean
 Default EJB Package: <corresponds to namespace in PI>
 generate default interfaces: Checked
Regarding the "Default EJB Package" this should be created according the namespace in PI for which all PI objects will be created. This only applies if you have some naming conventions here.
Example:
Namespace in PI is: http://company.net/pi/SOFTWARE_COMP/Application
The corresponding package then is: net.company.pi.software_comp.application
Implement coding for web service
As the web service will be called via PI some transfer variables will be submitted. Most likely, those variables will not be standard type (e.g. String) but a complex type. Those types must be generated as Java classes. Below an example of a complex type I needed:
Data Type
net.company.pi.software_comp.application.types.MessageProcessingInformation
Structure:
 Element name Element type
 sendingSystemID String
 interfaceID String
 businessProcessVariantCode String
 testIndicator Boolean
For every element described a public "get", "set" and "has" method must be created in the corresponding Java class:
package net.company.pi.software_comp.application.types;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class MessageProcessingInformation implements Serializable {
 protected String sendingSystemID;
 protected String interfaceID;
 protected String businessProcessVariantCode;
 protected Boolean testIndicator;
 public String getSendingSystemID() {
 return sendingSystemID;
 public void setSendingSystemID(String value) {
 this.sendingSystemID = value;
 public boolean hasSendingSystemID() {
 if(sendingSystemID != null && !sendingSystemID.equals("")){
 return true;
 return false;
All Java classes representing complex types and all classes referenced here (used for sub-types) must implement java.io.Serializable. Java standard types which do not implement this class must not be used as sub-types.
As soon as all data types are declared the real business logic can be implemented:
 In J2EE DC Explorer of J2EE Development Perspective expand DC - "ejb-jar.xml" - <Name> and double click on "ejbCreate"
 In detail view select folder "Business Methods" and click "Add"
 choose name of business method - this should be the same as the PI message type used for the service interface - starting lower case
 return type should be "void"
 add needed parameters fully qualified - including package (as specified in PI and created previously in DC)
 you can mark certain parameters as array if necessary
Remark:
It might be that after saving you get an error. This might be as the package name of one component is copied to the corresponding Java class at the very beginning (before the package declaration within the Java class). Simply delete the string here.
It also might be, that the new business method is only defined in the remote interface class but not in the bean class. Just create an according method in the bean class.
Within the newly created business method within the bean class you can now implement the business logic.
Create a DC with type "J2EE -> Enterprise Application"
In order to create the "real" web service and deploy it to the J2EE an Enterprise Application project has to be created. So create a new DC as for the EJB Module but choose as type "J2EE -> Enterprise Application".
After the DC is created right click on the EJB DC and choose "Add to EAR Project". Choose the new DC.
Create web service for EJB
As soon as you implemented the business logic you can create the "real" web service. Therefore:
 Right click on the EJB name below "ejb-jar.xml"
 Choose "New - Web Service"
 Choose proper "Web Service Name" and "Configuration Name" (probably oriented at the EJB name)
 Copy the URL of the web service - you'll need it later for PI configuration
 on the second next screen use the same name for "Virtual Interface" and "Web Service Definition" (the name should be the name of the "Endpoint")
 the "EAR Project" should be preselected
Unfortunately, the web service can't be used in its current configuration to be accessed by PI. Therefore the Virtual Interface must be changed. To do so, expand folder "Virtual Interfaces" and double click the virtual interface created.
Within the detail view expand in tabs "Mapping" and "Types" the complete folder structure. For any "SOAP Extension" where a namespace can be defined use as namespace the corresponding namespace in PI (e.g. http://corpintra.net/pi/CBFC_GLOBAL_SAP_APPL/BillerDirect) but do not change any "Soap Extension" of a standard Java type. (if you don't have any naming convetions for namespaces in PI you can leave the SOAP Extension here. But then the namespace in PI should be set accordingly.)
Probably it can be necessary on top level "Soap Extensions" in tab "Mapping" to leave "Use Namespaces for Parameters" unchecked. For some of my web services this parameter must be checked for others not - just try.
If you can define a "New Name", "Local Name" or "Item Label" for a Soap Extension then use a name with starting upper case letter. (For Java Naming conventions most of the data type names will start with lower case letters.) Especially the method name must be renamed this way in order to stick to the PI namings.
As a last point to change here check in tab "Mapping" all "Incoming Parameters" which you specified as array. Use for those as "New Name" a different name - do not just simply change from lower case to upper case. This is necessary as on PI we need to create two levels although here only one is specified.
For any own sub-type declared as array the name within the coding should also differ from the corresponding Java Class name the type refers to.
If all this is done you can deploy the web service to the J2EE:
 right click on "Enterprise Application" DC and choose "Development Component - Build..." and build all corresponding components
 right click on "Enterprise Application" DC and choose "Development Component - Deploy"
Test the new web service via <J2EE URL>/wsnavigator/enterwsdl.html
Create PI interface
After the web service is created successfully the PI integration can be started.
Therefore, within the Enterprise Services Builder create a data type according to the web service definition. All components defined on top-level for this data type should be declared as incoming parameter for the web service business method. Therefore it could be necessary to create some sub data types on PI first and add those to the "master" data type.
Ensure that the names of the components correspond to the names defined in the web service (see virtual interface here). Those names must exactly be the same - including lower/upper case. Also take care for the ordering of the components.
In case you need to include arrays following applies:
The upper level is of occurrence "1:1". This has only one sub-entry with occurrence "1:n". The names for upper and sub-level must not equal.
Based on the data type a message type is created. The name of the message type must be exactly the same as the name of the web service business method. (Hint: the name of the web service business method was most likely changed in the virtual interface. Then this name must correspond to the message type name.) Based on the message type an asynchronous inbound interface is to be created (which will be referred in the Integration Directory). The operation name for this interface (left panel) should be the same as the name for the web service business method.
Create PI mappings and routings
How to map (message mapping and operation mapping) from source to the web service message I wont explain here as this depends on the source message. The only important things here are:
 When creating the SOAP communication channel within the Integration Builder the "Target URL" is:
 <J2EE URL>/<Access URL as specified in web service creation>?wsdl&style=document
 The soap action is the name of the web service business method.
 Most likely the web service needs authentication to be executed.

OIM 11g r2 User UDF fields Updation based on AD ID

Hi,
We have to update the UDF fields created for the users in OIM using the data from a table.
This table contains the AD ID, and other fields.
OIM User (already available) will be updated based on AD ID ….i;e AD ID column will be used to find the user in OIM and then his UDF will be updated based on the respective data from other columns in the table .
Please can you help me on this task?
Thanks,

Your requirement doesn't tell much like when you want to update your user. If it would be on daily basis then go for Schedule Task, if you want to at the time of provisioning then you can have one task and attach your code to bring AD ID in OIM..
You may leverage Event Handlers as well if your use case requires that.

Provisioning using Web service

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I need to provision users into an application using a web-service.
What I was thinking is to create an Resource Object, Process Definition and a Form for the application. Then call the client of webservice through an adapter attached to the Process definition task.
Can anybody tell me if I am missing any configuration or there is any other way to take this up?
Thanks In Advance
Charan

I was able to call the webservice client using the adapter.
I created one Create User process definition to provision user to the application using the webservice and it was successful.
I also created one conditional process definition Delete User that will call the deprovisioning webservice. But when I revoke the user profile from the application the deprovisioning service was not getting called and I was not able to deprovision the user from application.
Any pointers regarding this will be helpful.
Thanks In Advance

Securing Web Services based on simple Java Classes

Hi @all!
We`ve got the following problem.
There`s a .NET client calling our Web services deployed on Bea Weblogic 8.1 (without
SP).
The Web Services are generated by the ANT task servicegen. They are based on simple
Java classes containing the service methods as public members.
Is there a possibility to secure these methods without using the console menu
item "Define Security Policy" ?
We can`t use this menu because it has got a javascript bug with methods returning
an array.
Thanks in advance for help.
Michael

Hi Michael,
Could you use transport level security, SSL [1]?
I'm not sure what limitation you are experiencing with the console? Is
there a traceback? Have you contacted customer support on this issue?
Thanks,
