Ordering resource provisioning

Question

I would very much appreciate if someone could shed some light on how to set the ordering of resource to be provisioned to a user.
I would like for AD to be provisioned to a user only after my 'extensible data' RO has been provisioned to the user as it has data that I need to leverage in the AD provisioning process - via rule generators.
My extensible data RO is reconciled in from my authoritative source post OIM user creates and updates reconciliation events. I tried making the AD RO depend on the extensible data RO, however when I do this AD resource is stuck in an object status of 'waiting'. If I provision another AD resource via the admin console the AD resource is provisioned with all the required data.
If I remove the depends on clause in the AD RO, the AD resource is provisioned, however without all the required info... specifically the data in extensible data RO. When I examine the debug statements in my rule generator, at the time of provisioning the AD resource, the getObjects api does not return my extensible data RO as a provisioned object - hence no data to add to the AD resource.
I hope this makes sense.
Any and all insight is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The easiest way to implement your requirements is to add a new non conditional task to the AD provisioning process and set the current non conditional task as conditional. Kick off the current non conditional when the new task gives a c.
This new task checks if the 'extensible data' RO is provisioned, if so throw a c and the AD provisioning process can start for real. If not just wait.
Write a scheduled task that harvest AD intial tasks that are waiting. Check 'extensible data' RO status, if good set positive result from task, if not continue waiting.
Hope this helps
