OIM DB Application Table (for oracle 10g db) reconciliation problem

Question

I want to reconcile my oracle database table into OIM. My table name in the db is called SD_EMPLOYEE and following is the fields.
     StaffID VARCHAR2(10),
     EmpID VARCHAR2(6),
     IDType VARCHAR2(20),
     IDNum VARCHAR2(20),
     EmpName VARCHAR2(255),
     EmpType VARCHAR2(20),
     EmpStatus VARCHAR2(10),
     LocID VARCHAR2(10),
     DeptID VARCHAR2(10),
     JobID VARCHAR2(10),
     JoinDate DATE,
     ConfirmedDate DATE,
     Confirmed VARCHAR2(2),
     ResignDate DATE,
     LoginID VARCHAR2(100),
     DomainName VARCHAR2(50),
     Email VARCHAR2(100),
     MobileNo VARCHAR2(10),
     ExtensionNo VARCHAR2(10),
     Xchange VARCHAR2(100),
     MovementType VARCHAR2(20),
     PrevMovementType VARCHAR2(20),
     MovementStatus VARCHAR2(10),
     MovementEffDate DATE,
     MovementDetail VARCHAR2(255)
However, I'm not sure how should I modify my oraApp2.xml file so that I can reconcile my SD_EMPLOYEE data into OIM and create the users. I'm not sure what it means by <xdb_app_map ... >.

Anyone can help?

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your info.
Just to make things clearer. Im doing a trusted recon. I have the below.
1) For the IT resource,
a) Application Name: this should be the same with the application name I put in the
XML file right? I have put it as testapp1.
b) Database user ID: this is the user which have the access to the table I want to
reconciled into OIM?
2) For resource object,
a) I'm currently using the "Database Application Resource" which has all predefined
fields like xel_usr_id. However, in the reconciliation action rules, I can't select the option of "create user" when "no matches found". Thus, can I use the "xellerate user" resource object for the DB Application Table connector?
3) Table to reconcile into OIM:
SD_Employee. The fields are EMPID, FNAME and LNAME.
In the OraApp2.xml file, I have the below:
<operation name = "create">
<task table_name = "DBRECON.SD_Employee" xeltask_type = "insert">
<column
col_name = "EMPID"
data_type = "VARCHAR2"
data_typ_size = "20"
col_info = "primary"
required = "true"
col_type = "xellerate"
xel_data_source = "xel_usr_id"/>
<column
col_name = "FNAME"
data_type = "VARCHAR2"
data_typ_size = "60"
required = "true"
col_type = "xellerate"
xel_data_source = "xel_usr_first_name"/>
<column
col_name = "LNAME"
data_type = "VARCHAR2"
data_typ_size = "60"
required = "true"
col_type = "xellerate"
xel_data_source = "xel_usr_last_name"/>
Am I doing the right thing here? As I still can't get the records in the SD_EMployee table to reconciled into OIM.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
GBHL
