OIM11g - Event handers preventing process task triggers firing

Hi all,
Odd one this. Our OIM 11g implementation has a number of event handlers. These work fine. However they are preventing process tasks triggering.
i.e. changing a users first name is no longer triggering AD change first name task
When I strip the event handlers out, it all works again.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? (11.1.1.5.1)
Thanks,
Wayne.

1. If you want to trigger the Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS update, then you must use the UserManager API to update, and not EntityManager.
I do not want the event handlers to trigger any process triggers. They should be triggering anyway.
2. You must update the System Property "XLUserResource.ProvisionMode" to be "JAVA" instead of "DB".
Done this and it doesn't help. And I believe it is just for process tasks on Xellerate User anyway, fairly sure you should not have to do it for process tasks on resources.

Process Task Child Table Delete Event passes empty values

Hi All,
I'm trying to implement a delete event in a process task for a child table. I am assuming the value to be deleted
should be getting passing into the adapter but it's passing empty strings instead. The insert event is working fine however.
Any one else using the delete event that works?
Thanx
Fred

Hi Kevin.
Any idea how to programmatically access the "old value" variant of a form field?
It's the sort of thing one needs occasionally when a value changes and some associated capability needs to be updated. The old value specifies what needs to be removed while the new value tells the system what is to be added in its place.
(It so happens in our environment that we have dozens of these values per user profile, so it would be very painful to store "old" values in a parallel set of fields.)
Thanks,
Dan

Trigger another Process Task after Enable User completed

I would like to have a process task trigger after the "Enable User" process task successfully completed.
E.g. Scenario
A user currently has a disabled resource. When I enable the user, the Enable User process task
gets called and enables the user. After that I would like to have my custom process task triggered after that.
I tried adding my custom process task in the Enable User task as a dependent task, but it never gets called.
Also, I tried adding the custom task to Tasks to Generate but that did not work.
What am I doing wrong or am I missing a step?

Instructions:
Goal: When 1st process task is triggered, the 2nd process task will kickoff.
1. Select the 1st process task
2. In the Task Dependency Tab of the 1st process task, add the 2nd process task in the Dependant Task section.
3. In the Responses Task of the 1st process task, select the SUCCESS response and add the 2nd process task in the Tasks to Generate section.
IMPORTANT: Each response has its own Task to Generate. So make sure you add to the response you want the 2nd process task to trigger off by.

Dependent process task is not triggering - OIM 11.1.2

Hi All,
In 'AD User' process definition, I have added a process task 'send email' which will send a e-mail notification on User profile location change.
I made it a dependent task of 'Change AD OU' (process defined by me, triggers when user profile location is changed).
Test performed
1) changed User profile location attribute from identity self service.
Test Result
1) User profile Location is updated.
2) 'Change AD OU' process task is triggered and executed successfully. And process task returned success and the status value is 'C'
3) Dependent task 'send email' is not triggered.
Verified following
1) both process task are made unconditional.
Please help me in knowing, why the dependent task is not being triggered.
Thanks in advance
Praveen

Hi Rajiv,
Thanks for reply.
I configured it according the link provided.
Now facing below issue.
When I changed first name of a user from identity console, 'Change First Name' process task is triggered and is assigned to XELSYSADM (coz, in the assignment tab I added only XELSYSAD). But the status of the process task is Rejected. Also, the changed 'First Name' value is not updated in the process form of the user. Hence the change is not reflected into AD.
Please tell me why the status is Rejected and changes are not reflecting.
Also, Please provide the solution to auto provision the modifications into AD.
Thanks in Advance.

Sequence of Events Fired and Triggers Fired in Forms.

Hi,
Please help me to know how the events and Triggers will be fired in Forms Developer 9i.
Thanks in Advance.

Please take a look into Forms-Builder Online Help, there you'll find some sequence diagrams describing the order of Triggers firing on certain actions.

"Process settings prevent this task being completed in the mobile client"?

Hi,
I've created a process and configured it with a mobile endpoint however when it is opened in a mobile workspace I get the message "Process settings prevent this task being completed in the mobile client... Log in to workspace to complete the task.."
What am I missing?

I've spend some time to investigate this issue and discovered something strange.
"Process settings prevent this task.." appears when "Must open the form to complete the task" option is checked in Assign Task step.
When process is invoked for the first time and this option is unchecked the process fields appear (I checked it on Ipad and Iphone mobile client).
Once any change is done on this process, the process fields disapear from the mobile client and there is no way to approve/decline task only from the workspace.
Did anyone encountered this behaviour?

Calling an actionable email from process task OIM11g

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to call an actionable email from process task, meaning can i trigger a workflow on demand from process task.

You are correct in the actionable emails, you just need to be creative.
This is my suggestion:
Create a Modify Application/Request request data set for your Active Directory workflow. When your scheduled task runs (assuming it will be only once a day so that you don't have multiple being sent out), generate a new request with code, and in the request dataset, set the value to the 365 days in the future. You can then create an approval policy either using the default manager approval, or custom soa composite. Regardless, you want the approval task to go to the manager. If you have enabled the Actionable Email Notifications (UMS Messaging i believe), then the manager will get an email for the approval and at the bottom it will have two options, APPROVE and REJECT. The manager can click the link and it will process the request based on their response.
If they approve it, the date is updated, and they get extended in AD. If they reject it, the request is rejected and it never gets updated.

Prevent process triggers from executing based on a specific condition.

We are using OIM 9.1 and have a rather odd problem. We have PSFT HR as our trusted source with AD and Exchange as two of our target systems.
The sAMAccountName in AD is generated based on a combination of the last name and first name of the user. Also french characters in the name are converted to english characters before the sAMAccountName is generated. For example è would be converted to e.
When someone gets married and changes their last name it is updated in OIM and thus the sAMAccountName changes also. The last name change is made in the OIM webapp and then all of the process tasks run based on the Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS lookup table. i.e. when USR_LAST_NAME changes then there are several process tasks that run for both AD and Exchange.
What I need to be able to do is when the sAMAccountName is the same before and after the change (remember that french characters are converted) I don't want the process tasks to run. Here's a scenario:
1. User is provision with a sAMAccountName "berube" - notice that there are no accents in the name
2. User last name is changed to "bèrubè" - notice the accents
After running both names through our conversion (a Java method) they are both the same "berube = berube (converted french characters)". If this situation occures then I don't want the process tasks associated with the USR_LAST_NAME change to run. Is there a way to do this?
Another way of stating this is "Can I make the process tasks listed in the Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS table conditional?"
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you don't want something to run when the value is the same, i suggest you always update the process form containing the values, and then let the Updated task run to update in the target. If your value is the same twice, and you try to update the field with the same value twice, it would only trigger the first time because there won't be a change on the second.

How to call Process Task in AD User proccess definition from Xellerate user

Hello,
I need a help from you guys.
I have one customized process task in "Xellerate User" Process definition. When my this task executes completely, I would like to call one of the customized process task in "AD User" process definition from xellearte user. Is there any way we can do that?
Thanks for your any help....

There are lots of ways to accomplish this. I haven't read through the other posts, but here are a few options.
Option 1 - Create a second task that also triggers at the same time, but set the task you already have as preceding. Then on your second task, write whatever code is needed to update a field, insert a new task, whatever the function is that's needed.
Option 2 - On the completion response of your original task, just use the response code to trigger the second task from running. Then again, write whatever code is needed.
Option 3 - Create a UDF on your user form. Add this field to the Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS. When your first task completes, use the APIs to update this field with a new value, perhaps the current date. On your AD Process Definition, create a task with the name you used in the lookup. This task will get triggered whenever the field is updated. Now if the user does not have an AD Instance, you don't have to worry about it ever running.
I'm sure you could create other event handlers as well to do this, it just depends on how creative you want to be.

OIM Process tasks Query

Just wondering how the process tasks are related to the process form fields. E.g. where can I map that if the first name on process form is modified, OIM should trigger the 'First Name Changed' process task. I know about USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS, but I am talking about the task which is mapped to the connector and is responsible for updating data in target application.
Thanks

if the first name on process form is modifiedIt triggers First Name Updated. It's architecture of OIM that it triggers 'Label Updated' task when you update Process Form. May be some event handlers are attached. Not sure 100% as didn't search for this.

Dependency in Xellerate User process task

I create a process task in xellerate user process and in de dep table create de dependency, to execute before the add user task, but the task never start. I modify to execute before System Validation with the same result.
The task is not conditional, allow multiple instances and required for termination.
Why the task don't start, is this normal with oim11g?

If you are using OIM 11g you may want to look at using an event handler to manage such user process customizations rather than Xellerate user adapters. These are the newest way of handling such customizations on user objects and I think may give you better compatibility going forward. In your case a pre-process handler seems appropriate. Refer to the OIM developers guide for details.

Linking the Revoke Action to Process Task

Something that I haven't quite figured out yet is the connection between "Provision Resource" and the Process Task to Create the Resource, and likewise the connection between "Revoke Resource" and the Process Task to delete the Resource. I have a suspicion that it happens purely because the Process Task Name begins with "Create" or "Delete" and not something that is actually specified somewhere. Is this correct, or is there more to it?
I guess this could be a more general question about what regulates which Process Tasks are invoked and in what order for a given event. I finally think I understand that the Disable and Enable events are linked to Tasks through the "Process Effect" selection.
Maybe there is a document that defines this that I haven't stumbled on. I would take a reference if there is one.
Thanks,
Bill

When provisioning intitaes then it triggers the Unconditional task (Create User Task generally).
When Revoke triggers then it will execute a task which is in the Undo tab of Unconditional Task (Create User Generally).

Customize Process Task notification

Our goal is to send a notification to group of users (members of a Role) when a Siebel Account is successfully created.
To accomplish this task we used the legacy feature of OIM to send notification by doing the following:
- create a custom Email Definition of Type = "Provisioning Related" using OIM Design Console - Process Management - Email Definition
- add the above Email Definition to the provisioning task using OIM Design Console - Process Management - Process Definition - Siebel Process - Tasks - Create User - Notification
This works as expected except the following issues:
1. the Email Definition contains more than one field of type Date that are shown in English format (e.g. June 8, 2012) we would like to parse date values in a different format (e.g 2012-06-08).
We have already tried to change the Email Definition attributes Language/Region from values "en/US" to "it/IT" but the notification stops to be sent until we rollback to original values "en/US"; is this a know bug or a miss configuration?
In any case, is the Language/Region related to the date format?
2. some attribute values in the Email Definition should be "transformed"
Any suggestion how solve the above issues?
As a workaround we coded a Java Plugin that sends email notifications (in this case we are able to write the email content as we want) and trigger this Plugin by an Event Handler but only for events related to the OIM User (CRETE/MODIFY/DELETE/etc..); we have no idea how trigger the same Plugin/Event Handler for the Siebel Account events. Is it possible? How?
Thanks and regards,
Gabriele.

To "trigger the notification task (new task) upon Sucess response code of Siebel create user task" you mean:
- create a Java Plugin with all the code needed to create and send the email notification?
- create an Adapter of type Process Task that triggers the above Java Plugin passing all the required variables?
- create a new Process Task that trigger the above Adapter and maps all the defined variables?
- finally, set the above Process Task as of the original Create User Process Task?
Is this correct? Did I miss some steps? Did you tried it?
Thanks,
Gabriele.

Regarding OIM process tasks

Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to OIM. I have installed AD connector and i am able to provision the user to AD. I have observed that Create AD User process definition has almost 25 process tasks. When i observed the tasks that are called after provisioning of user to AD i found that only four tasks are getting called. What about the rest of the tasks when they are called. Is there any way that we can know when these tasks will be called under what situation.
What i want to know is there are mapping which specifies for which action which task to be called. Like for example if change password action is triggered Change Password process task is triggered. So which means there should be some where this mapping may stored which i want to know.
Like i create a new process task and i want to call it when particular action is triggered.
Any body help me in understanding this please.......

Hi,
Process tasks work the same in all processes, regardless of the adapter. This was designed on purpose so that a level of abstraction can be made between the technical details of connecting/acting on a target and the business process.
So, in a nutshell, there are different kinds of tasks:
1) Non-conditional -- these are tasks that run at the start of any process. To define order on these tasks, you must use the Task Dependency tab
2) Disable/Enable tasks -- these are tasks whose Task Effect is either disable or enable. These tasks run whenever the OIM user is disabled or enabled, or when it is done manually. Same thing about order.
3) Undo Tasks -- these are tasks that run when a particular task is undone. They typically run on a revoke, which runs all the undo tasks on the non-conditional tasks
4) OIM/ACT/etc Triggers -- these are typically in the form "Change <attribute>" but they can be anything and are defined in the trigger lookups. They run whenever an attribute on the OIM user changes and that task exists in the process definition
5) Form triggers -- they are in the form: "<Attribute name> Updated" This is hard coded and the attribute name must be the form description name (like "First Name", not UD_ADUSER_FIRSTNAME). These run whenever the process form gets updated for a particular field. They do not run on reconciliations
6) Reconciliation tasks -- these tasks are run whenever a reconciliation event is processed and are defined in the Task Generated tab on the task definition.
7) Attestation -- just like Reconciliation
To see these visually, I suggest hitting the Render Workflow button... OIM separates each of these out for you in the tabs in that screen.
Cheers,
Deborah

Analysis Services Processing Task - Error processing

Hi all,
I have a SSIS package containing an Analysis Services Processing Task. In case it fails, I want to insert the error messages in a table. I have create an SSIS package that fails because of dimension values that are not in the fact table. The package fails and
shows a number of errors in the debug window:
Error: 0xC1000007 at Create Cube, Analysis Services Execute DDL Task: Erreur interne : L'opération n'a pas abouti.
Warning: 0x811F0001 at Create Cube, Analysis Services Execute DDL Task: Erreurs dans le moteur de stockage OLAP :
Clé d'attribut introuvable lors du traitement de : Table : 'dbo_SSIS_DATA', Colonne : 'PRODCODE', Valeur : 'HUME'. L'attribut est 'PRODCODE'.
SSIS package "Step 2 - Create Cube.dtsx" finished: Failure.
However in the error list window there are 0 errors and 0 warnings.
So, why doesn't it show an error message in the error list when the package clearly fails. And how can I get the error messages from the log into a table? Thanks in advance.
Hugo

Error list does not reflect what is getting to be logged, it is more for package validation.
But the same errors will show up in the status, and the output window.
Furthermore, if your log is table bound (e.g. the sysssiserrorlog) and in the log config you chose to log the OnError events then these will be captured automatically.
