OIM API: findUsers() with empty fields?

I'm trying to find all users who have an empty USR_USF_CUSTOM field but when I do:
searchParams.put("USR_UDF_CUSTOM","");
tcResultSet result = userOps.findUsers(searchParams);
it returns ALL users. Just like it would if doing this search through the GUI.
Is it possible to find users using the above API who have a blank/empty field?
I know I can do a query based operation and pass it sql query, but I want to stay away from that for the time being.
Thanks.

Nops. That surprises but the API's would never return a ResultSet for any field with blank content. You would have to go for SQL query.
Thanks

Import ASCII file with empty fields

Hi,
I need to import an ASCII file that for the INTCO dimension has a blank field when the source system does not provide a value. I need a conversion file to convert the other values delivered anyway, so I added EXTERNAL: *EmptyField -> INTERNAL: I_NONE at the end, but that generates an error.
Does anyone know what the correct syntax is to use for an empty field in a conversion table?
Thanks

Hi,
In that case, I would request you to delete the empty column from the flat file and then use *NEWCOL in the transformation file.
Hope this helps.

Order By Clause with Empty Field values !

Hello,
In Oracle , the order by clause does not return the expected query result, if any of the field value in the order by clause has an empty string.
Oracle treats the empty string as null value and ORDER BY gives a result with the empty string field values listed at last.
For example :
test is a sample table containing "name" field.
Query: "select name from test order by name"
In SQL Server/Access
Result (1)
NAME
(blank)
(blank)
User1
User2
User3
In Oracle
Result (2)
NAME
User1
User2
User3
(blank)
(blank)
I know some of the Work arounds for this as listed below :
1) To use NVL in Order By Clause.
i.e., the modified query
"select name from test order by nvl(name,0)"
gives the result same as Result (1).
2) To have single blank space in the field value if it is empty.
I dont want to use either of these two options b'se it would lead to a mass change in my existing code.
Is there any way i can do a
collation order settings in the Oracle databases to get the results as in MS SQL/Access.
Can Any help me out in Solving this?
Thanks

Filter out datasets with empty field

Hi Experts,
I want to filter a Table: Filter out all datasets where the FieldXY is empty. I tried with the filteroperator with expressions like '... is equal to NOT NULL' or '... is equal to NOT ''', but without result! Can some one give me the right expression?
Kind regards, Bernd

Hi Bernd,
This was a bug in SP04
I tried the
=!ISNULL(@FieldXY)
on SP05 and it worked.
Sorry for the confusion.

Finding contacts with empty fields

I'm trying to collect all the contacts that have no entry in the "Maiden Name" field to perform an action on them.
So...
tell application "Contacts"
activate
          set thePeople to every person whose maiden name is missing value
          repeat with thePerson in thePeople
         --blah blah blah
          end repeat
end tell
What am I missing? It's returning every entry in my address book, regardless of whether there's info in the maiden name field or not.
Thanks in advance!

Well that's really strange because it doesn't work on my system. (10.8.3)
Some of the contacts have a mothers maiden name filled in, others don't. Reversing the logic didn't work wither, but, oddly, using the logic in a different way DID produced the expected results:
tell application "Contacts"
activate
          set thePeople to every person
          repeat with thePerson in thePeople
                    if ((maiden name of thePerson is missing value) and (company of thePerson is false) and (first name of thePerson is not missing value) and (last name of thePerson is not missing value)) then
                              --blah blah blah
                    end if
end repeat
end tell
Any thoughts why that would work and the other way wouldn't?

OIM API: findUsers() vs. findAllUsers()

Does anybody know what the difference is between the findUsers() and findAllUsers() methods in the tcUserOperationsIntf class?
The java doc says "Returns a list of users that match the provided attribute list." for both methods.

There is no difference in the actual method implementation. I could not find anything. So basically the same for OIM11G. I heard someone pointing out that it worked a bit different in 10g but for 11g it looks the same to me. Try and execute both, you will find it

Update only non empty fields

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to develop a trigger-based solution for a project involving received messages from an MQ queue.
The messages are all inserted from the queue into a single staging table. (v10.2.0.4)
Each message's data will need to be either inserted or updated to a destination table based upon a field's value in the staging table.
I was planning on putting a trigger on the staging table and calling an insert or update procedure based on the staging field's value.
The inserts are pretty straightforward.
It's the updates that I'm struggling with - some of the staging fields will be populated, others will be empty. There is no pattern to which fields will or will not be populated.
I do not want to update the destination table with empty fields - I only want to update fields that contain data.
Is there an better way than several "if-then check for empty, then update" (one for each field)?
Maybe some sort of magical dynamic update?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can use the NVL function (or COALESCE), which returns the first of its arguments that is NOT NULL.
Instead of:
UPDATE dest
SET     column_a = x
,       column_b = y
WHERE   id = z;say
UPDATE dest
SET     column_a = NVL (x, column_a)
,       column_b = NVL (y, column_b)
WHERE   id = z;If x IS NOT NULL, then NVL (x, column_a) will return x.
If x IS NULL, then NVL (x, column_a) will return column_a
You could also automate this in a BEFORE UPDATE trigger:
:NEW.column_a := NVL (:NEW.column_a, :OLD.column_a);
:NEW.column_b := NVL (:NEW.column_a, :OLD.column_b);but if you do, you'll have to disable the trigger to correct mistakes that really should be NULL.

Email Notifications - I dont want them including empty fields

Is this possible?
After my form is filled out, I only want the filled fields to show in my notification email otherwise it gets cluttered with empty fields.
I see that the person submitting the form can get an email included submitted data without the empty fields.
Is there a work around for this?

We now provide an option to not include empty fields when sending an email notification.

FormData Information updation with OIM APIs

Hey Guys,
I try to use the OIM APIs to update a custom field that is present on a formdata.
e.e: in the web base ui, you search for a user, go to resource profile, and then I have my OID provisioned resource, when I click on view, I have the a formdata that popups with fields taht I want to update.
I've done the following until now:
- search the user with the findUsersFiltered API to retreive the User.key
- search the object associated to the user by using getObjects with the User.Key retreived
This search return a list of objects AND I can identify my provisioned Object:
The informations that seems usefull are:
* Users-Object Instance For User.Key-value
* Object Instance.Key-value
* Objects.Key-value
* Process Definition.Process Form Key-value
I'm block there, I'm not sure the different options for:
- reading the form data field for this resource
- updating some form data for this resource
Any help would be great !

I've done it,
For information it was with using Process Definition.Process Form Key-value

OIM API portablity issue with OIM 9.1 / Weblogic 10.3

Hi , We have a existing piece of code which does some User Mutation through OIM API.
[I am not well versed with OIM ]
The code was running fine with Weblogic 8.3 and previous OIM version.
Here is the piece of code.
logger.info("Initializing OIM Params from config location:" oimConfigFileUtil.getOIMConfigBase());+*
+          System.setProperty("XL.HomeDir", oimConfigFileUtil.getOIMConfigBase().getAbsolutePath());+
+          System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", oimConfigFileUtil.getOIMAuthWLFile().getAbsolutePath());+
+          ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting configClient = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");+
+          env = configClient.getAllSettings();+
*+          try {+*
+               oimAccessFactory = new tcUtilityFactory(env, oimConfigFileUtil.getUserID(), oimConfigFileUtil.getPassword());+
I traced all the dependecy's for this piece of code.
If I run this with Weblogic.jar[8.1] it gives me
java.io.InvalidClassException: com.thortech.xl.dataaccess.tcDataSet; local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID = -5446056666465114187, local class serialVersionUID = -8857647322544023100*
With the compatablity issue I substituted with weblogic.jar:10.3 , now its giving me all classpath issues.
Can someone layout the exact jars that are required for this to work?
Thanks
Vignesh

Installl a Design Console. Copy any files that are required. Then take the class paths that are listed in the classpath and basecp files and put those into your application classpath files.

Contract - problem with attachements (empty field in LOIO_OBJID)

Hi Guys,
We are using extended classic scenario of SRM 4.0 (SRM Server 500) and our latest support package is SAPKIBKS12. We have the following problem with contracts.
Sometimes when an attachment is added to a contract the system does not fill the following fields in tabel BBP_PDATT.
LOIO_CLASS: Normally filled with BBP_L_DOC
LOIO_OBJID: Normaly filled with a GUID size datastring
Whenever this happens and later on the contract is changed and released the system will raise an abort. We tried the following notes but no good result.
891293,919467,932602,964065. Some other notes that might be possible are 1042826/1085700/1083063 but we also don't have good experience with these ones.
Can anyone give us advice about two things.
1) Is there a way to fill the empty fields in BBP_PDATT so that existing contract will work properly again?
2) Does anyone know why this problem occurs and how to fix it for new contracts?
Hope to hear from you,
Arie

Replace the empty field with below data content field in xml pub report

Hi Gurus,
Please give me the solution for the Replacement of empty field with below data content field in XML PUBLISHER REPORT.
ex:
Name:Philips.M
Address 1:XP APPTS,
Address 2:S:R ROAD
Address 3:
COUNTRY:INDIA
Here i have to get only address 1,address 2 and the COUNTRY data.I dont want to display Address 3 field here.
Thanks,
David

I'm not sure if this answers your question but you could try putting out the address all in one item in the SQL eg somthing like:
address1 || DECODE(address1, NULL, NULL, 'newline character') ||
address2 || DECODE(address2, NULL, NULL, 'newline character') ||
address3 || DECODE(address3, NULL, NULL, 'newline character')
where 'newline character' is somthing like CHR(12)

Create Access Policy with OIM API: can't fill child form

Hi!
I'm having a problem with creating OIM Access Policy with API. I'm doing the following:
1. Create a new access policy via AccessPolicyIntf
2. Add a resource object which will be provisioned to all users who are within policy scope
3. Get Resource Object (Parent) Form Definition via FormDefinitionIntf
4. Add data to parent form (AccessPolicyIntf setFormData(FormDefinitionKey))
5. Now I want to add data to the child form, for that purpose I need to know child form definition key, but I can' get one, because there's no method like 'getChildFormDefinitionKey' in FormDefinitionIntf interface.
Please, help me to get child form definition key, knowing parent form definition key and version
