OIM Profile Field\Column Analysis Approach & Questions

Like many of you know IdM projects are often rooted in analysis and not implementation (as much). As part of that I'm creating a matrix of OIM Profile (form) Fields and\or DB columns (mostly USR) - including name, isvalidated, isrequired, format, length, defaults, values, etc. Then the next step is to do the same with the resources (AD, LDAP, DB, etc). Then that analysis becomes the basis to determine what gets "pushed up" to the OIM profile, who should be the 'authoritative source', etc. I know this is a very common approach and one that Oracle even uses on many of it's OIM consulting gigs. Any comments on this approach is appreciated.
But what I'm most interested in is any insight people can share about these following OIM Fields\DB Columns:
1. USR.USR_CREATED, USR.USR_UPDATED - is that technically set to be SYSDATE (of the DB) upon insert\update? Opposed to likely defining a new Date() in the java. Is this true of all the DATE related columns? Are the DATE fields validated (OOB) so that they cannot occur in the past?
2. USR.USR_MANAGER vs USR.USR_MANAGER_KEY - Are these both references to the same thing? If so, why is this needed?
3. USR.USR_DATA_LEVEL - what\when is it used?
4. USR.USR_FSS - what\when is it used?
5. USR_LOCATION - what\when is it used?
6. USR_NOTE - what\when is it used?
7. USR_PWD_MIN_AGE_DATE - is that used to not allow people to change the password until after X many days? Or is more about finding the LCD password interval across all the resources & OIM?
8. USR_UPDATE_AD - Is this used for AD? If so, why isn't it prefixed with UDF?
9. USR_TODO - is this just there in case Oracle wants to add a field in the future? Or is actually used currently?

1. USR.USR_CREATED, USR.USR_UPDATED -> By default, you do not have access to these through the web. They are automatically updated with the SYSDATE. They are also used in audit information and reports.
2. USR.USR_MANAGER is not used. The USR.USR_MANAGER_KEY contains the USR_KEY of the manager. Could be in the database from previous versions and no longer used.
3. DATALEVEL is used on all the tables. If the value is set to 1, you cannot make changes to it. If you try and update specific tasks in the Xellerate User provisioning process, or the default tasks on the Users Data Object, you will recieve an error that you cannot modify this value. It's because the security is set to 1.
4. Unused?
5. USR.USR_LOCATION -> You could add this value to be displayed in the User Form and write whatever location information you want to it. By default, it is not used.
6. USR_NOTE -> Unused. Could be from previous version. Like Location, you could add it to the User Form to be displayed if you want.
7. USR_PWD_MIN_AGE_DATE -> This valus is populated if your password policy has a password minimum age date preventing immediate change.
8. USR_UPDATE_AD -> Not used. However, if you import the AD Connector, you will get an UDF for it.
9. USR_TODO -> Not used. Could be added to User Form.

Adding a field/column in sql table/database and adding the same field /column in biztalk schema

I have a biztalk application that has a source schema and destination schema inside a map.
A new field/column in the sql database has been created. Now I have to add this field/record to my source schema.
My question is, do I manually add this field/record to my source schema and update my source map or do I have to generate a new schema using add generated items>consume adapter service>sql and update my source map ?

You would need to add the fields to the message schema your SQL data is mapped onto.
Also update the SQL statement which is executed inside your sql adapter settings to return the new columns.

64,000 character limit on UDT user defined field column

Hey All.
We are storing more then 64,000 characters into a UDT user defined field column as it stores a large XML document. How can I retreive this information from the UDT using the DI API? Everytime I try to do this using either the UDT object or SAP recordset it chops off the data to 64000 characters. The UDF was created as a "TEXT" type using B1 client and when I look in the database it has a datatype of NTEXT.
Is this a bug or is there no way using DI API to retreive all the data?

Curtis,
Apologies for my delay in getting back to you.
I do not know the reasoning behind the limit. As far as 2007A is concerned, the documentation that I was looking at when I first responded to your question was the 2007A SDK Help documentation, so I would say it is the same in 2007.
I believe that you can use ADO to access data in SAP Business One as there are other ISV's that use ADO, just not access via stored procedures directly to the Business One database. ADO and ODBC connectivity have rules in place for data validation, although it is recommended that you use the Business One API's for data access as much as possible. You could also store data in your own tables in a separate database and retrieve from there.

The entries in the Fields column are too far apart.

The Fields column on the left has the entries really far apart, so when I need to arrange the field order I have to do a lot of scrolling up and down. The arrow you click to expand or collapse the list is super magnified, though it still functions. It hasn't always been this way, but I must've done something to cause this change. How can I reverse this? Thanks.

I am having the same problem. It seemed to start after updating to 9.5.1. Adobe support will not address this question as they are not supporting this version anymore! ARGH! If anyone knows how to fix, please share!!

IOS 5.0.1 Can't Show OS X Lion Address Book Profile Fields?

In OS X Lion, Apple introduced Profile fields into the Address Book:
Social network profiles
Address Book lets you quickly access the social network profiles of your contacts, including Facebook. Press and hold an email address to select the appropriate profile.
So, I filled this all in on my Mac. But then I synced my iPhone (running iOS 5.0.1) with my iMac, and discovered that the Contacts app on the iPhone doesn't show these fields. Is this true, or have I done something wrong?

I'm going to try that next.
What I just tried was creating a New Card in Address Book on my Mac and filling in these fields:
• First Name
• Last Name
• Twitter
• Facebook
• Flickr
I then synced my iPhone with my Mac, via iTunes.
The new card showed up in Contacts on my iPhone, but only the First Name and Last Name are visible. The three Profile fields I filled in are not there! Clearly this is a bug.

Hi,
a few hours ago I stumbled across this cookbook entry - it
didn't solve MY problem, but maybe it provides a way to solve your
problem?
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?event=showdetails&postId=61&product Id=2&loc=en_US
From the article:
quote:
Changing the background color of a DataGrid cell is not as
simple as changing some style because the default renderer for a
DataGrid cell does not have a backgroundColor. Therefore, to do
this simple task, you have to create a custom itemRenderer where
you draw your own background in the updateDisplayList function.

Unable to edit New form if fields/Columns are more than 60 or 65

Hi SP Gurus,
I am facing very unusual problem which is I am not able to eidit NewForm if fields/Columns are more are more than 60 or 65.<o:p></o:p>

By following above link I have added TestNewForm.aspx and trying to edit but I getting very stupid and unclear error message like this<o:p></o:p>
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer.
If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.

Hi,
Per my understanding, the NewForm.aspx is not editable when there are more than 60 or 65 columns in the list.
Is there any warning or error message when editing the NewForm.aspx page in SharePoint 2010(screenshot would be better)?
I tried creating a list contains more than 60 columns, then edit the corresponding NewForm.aspx in SharePoint Designer 2010, it works as expected.
I suggest you create another list and make the test again to see if it is an issue of this list.
Thanks

Thanks in anticipation.

You will need to contact Support in your country to get the security questions reset (these are user-to-user forums) : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security (if your account's password has been changed then they should also be able to reset that for you)
When they've been reset you can then use the steps on this page to change the rescue email address to an account that you have access to, for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

How to make fields/columns un-editable in ALV

How can I make a field/column un-editable in ALV.

Any suggestions please.
Thanks,
