Approving OIM/SOA requests using OIM 11g APIs

I'm creating a SOA request using createRequest method in RequestService OIM API. I would like to approve/reject the work items using the API as well but I don't see any methods to approve/reject the tasks. Is this something I would have to use SOA's webservices to do it?
Thanks

You need to use BPEL worklist API for the same.

I need to get the current assignee for a given request using SOA's java api

I'm developing a spring app that interfaces with Oracle SOA suite and executes the actions such as approving requests using the api. I need to get the current assignee for each SOA Task this is dispalyed in the OIM console so it is getting it from somewhere. I tried getApprovers in the ITaskService api but this returns an empty list

I have checked it once again and there indeed are links for ALUI components for Solaris on SPARC at edelivery.oracle.com. (Officially ALUI supports Solaris on SPARC only)
If you have looked at Solaris x86, then you must not have found them. Please make sure that you are selecting the righ platform. Also, make sure that you click on the Aqualogic media pack so as to get the lists of the components included in it. (Point to Note: You need to go to the next level)
For whichever component you are not able to find, try looking for it in the Metalink (My Oracle Support) if you have a support contract.

How do we create a self registration request , using OIM API , with and without challenge questions?

Well try this piece of code. This might be similar to yours but it worked perfectly for me. For you the error might be the attribute names which you are passing, it should be the one dfined in the FormMetaData xml as below.
     import Thor.API.tcUtilityFactory;
     // define you class below
     ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting config = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
     final Hashtable env = config.getAllSettings();
     Hashtable quesAns = new Hashtable();
     HashMap user = new HashMap();
     user.put("Users.User ID", "SelfTesting");
     user.put("Users.First Name", "SelfTesting");
     user.put("Users.Last Name", "SelfTesting");
     user.put("Users.Email", "[email protected]");
     user.put("Users.Password", "SelfTesting");
     user.put("ConfirmPassword", "SelfTesting");
     tcUtilityFactory.createRegistrationRequest(env, user, quesAns);
And for the query of challenge QnA, these are the following combinations possible:
1) Property Does user have to provide challenge information during registration set to TRUE
- During self-registration from web console, it will show you Challenge Questions section on the right. If you do not select any questions, it will thow you an error there itself.
- Doing it from API will create no difference(even if you pass a blank HashTable). The request will be created successfully and on completion when the user tries to login, it will ask for Security QnA.
2) Property Does user have to provide challenge information during registration set to FALSE
- During self-registration from web console, it doesn't show you Challenge Questions section on the right. The request will be created successfully and on completion when the user tries to login, it will ask for Security QnA.
- Doing it from API, you will have to pass a blank HashTable as in above code. The request will be created successfully and on completion when the user tries to login, it will ask for Security QnA.
Hope it works.
Thanks

Request Approval using OIM API

Hi all
Which API I need to use to approve a resouce request using OIM API?
I have tried with the following:
tcReqOp.setRequestResponse(85, 1 , "java.lang.String psResponse");
i do not know what to pass in place of java.lang.String psResponse.
I aslo tried passing "C","Completed"
can anyone correct what I am doing?
Thank u
sas

I assume you want to run a scheduled task for this. Try this approach. Run this query to retrieve specific approval tasks that are in a pending state:
select oti.sch_key, mil.mil_name, to_char(oti.oti_update, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
from oti, mil, obj, pkg, orc, sch
where oti.mil_key=mil.mil_key
and oti.pkg_key=pkg.pkg_key
and pkg.obj_key=obj.obj_key
and oti.orc_key=orc.orc_key
and oti.sch_key=sch.sch_key
and oti.sch_status='P'
and obj.obj_name='Test Object'
and pkg.pkg_type='Approval'
You can modify the obj.obj_name or remove, or do any changes you want. When you grab the time of the oti.oti_update, compare it against the sysdate to determine the time difference. If the update did not occur within that time, use this code:
provIntf = (tcProvisioningOperationsIntf)getUtilityOps("Thor.API.Operations.tcProvisioningOperationsIntf");
Hashtable taskHash = new Hashtable();
taskHash.put("Process Instance.Task Details.Data", "<Insert Response Value Here>");
provIntf.updateTask(key, taskHash) ; //---> Key is the same as the oti.sch_key field
I have not tried this, but give it a shot.

Create approval request for Delete User operati with oim api -11g Release2

Hi,
How I can create an approval request for a User Delete operation usin API? Can anyone quide me? Any help is strongly appreciated..
BR,
Aliye

You can use the exact same technique for any of the other requests submissions through APIs that have been posted on this message forum. Just supply the template name for your request template you plan to use.
Here is a page of sample code for requests. http://java.net/projects/openptk/sources/svn/show/branches/Oracle/OIM11g/examples/java/OIMClient/src/oim/client/request?rev=1402

OIM 11Unknown entity type Account with ID while using linkEventToUser() API

I would like to link an recon event (which is in status "No User Match Found" ) to an user.The recon event is generated through target recon using reconciliation API
I am using the API linkEventToUser() but getting the following error.
<Error> <oracle.iam.reconciliation.impl> <IAM-5010000> <Generic Error/Information: {0}
oracle.iam.reconciliation.exception.InvalidEventException: Unknown entity type Account with ID 2180,060
From OIM web console if i check the Link button / option iin event management for this event is greyed out.
There are already threads on this in the forum but they are old and no replies so i thought to post a fresh thread.
I am also getting the same error while generating a new recon event.
The strangest part is that this was working a few weeks back.
Any help or idea how to proceed is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Kungo.

How to install OID connector using OIM API in 11g?

Hi All,
We are using OID connector in OIM 11g environment. It is a simple process to install OID connector by unzipping the connector zip file to ConnectorDefaultDirectory and goto Admin console and load the connector.
However, we are looking for API methods to simulate "load the connector " step in GUI.
Please help.
Thanks
Mahendra.

Hey Mahendra,
I am not aware of this API to do the 'Deployment Manager' load task. But III try to help you using another way:
1-You can use ICF API to do this task(creating it specifically to OID). Using ICF: http://www.groenenberg.nu/Oracle_Doc/AS_11.1.1.5/doc.1111/e14309/icf.htm#BABFDJHJ
2- And following this example that my buddy did for Open DS: http://itnaf.org/2011/12/30/developing-icf-connectors/
Another helpful doc: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14309.pdf
I hope this helps,

Using OIM APIs

I need to use OIM APIs from a third party web application.
I would like to know, would it be possible as our OIM server would be at a different m/c then the client web application.
So how would the settings be done in this case, as we set some system variables in the code for accessing the OIM APIs which include mentioning the path of Xellerate folder.
Kindly guide.

I have gone through this link, and have used OIM APIs earlier, but in that case both my code and the OIM server were running on the same m/c.
But now its a third party web app which wants to call OIM APIs, hence I would like to knw, how d following settings would be done.
System.setProperty("XL.HomeDir", "D:/NewOIM/xellerate");
System.setProperty("java.security.policy", "D:/NewOIM/xellerate/config/xl.policy");
System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", "D:/NewOIM/xellerate/config/authwl.conf");
System.setProperty("log4j.configuration", "D:/NewOIM/xellerate/config/log.properties");
System.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "t3://blrkec87910d:7001");
As uptil now I was giving the local location of these folders.
But now how would I give it?

Using OIM API

Hi All
First can we use OIM API from a PC where OIM Server/Design console is not installed?If so, how?
I have server running in a different PC in the same network.How do I connect from my PC to use OIM API.
Thank u
sas

It shouldn't matter whether you are invoking OIM APIs from standalone Java app or WebApp as long as you are able to create an instance of tcUtilityFactory. Once obtained the process remains same.
But if you are invoking APIs from JSP that is custom built but within same xlWebApp, then it gets trivial.

Provisioning OIM user using OIM APIS

Hi All,
Could anyone help me out on how to provision a User using OIM APIS.
Thanks and Regards,
Vaasu.

public class GetGroups {
tcUtilityFactory utilFactory = null;
tcSignatureMessage moSignature = null;
tcUserOperationsIntf moUserUtility = null;
tcResultSet userResultSet,userSet = null;
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting myConfig = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
final Hashtable env = myConfig.getAllSettings();
Map v = new HashMap();
public void UserGroups(String userid) {
try {
System.out.println(" I am in TRY");
moSignature = tcCryptoUtil.sign("xelsysadm", "PrivateKey");
utilFactory = new tcUtilityFactory(env, moSignature);
moUserUtility =
(tcUserOperationsIntf) utilFactory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf");
v.put("Users.User ID", userid);
userSet = moUserUtility.findAllUsers(v);
long user_key = userSet.getLongValue("Users.Key");
System.out.println( " Group Name " + grpName );
} catch(Exception e){
e.getMessage();
Like that
moobjIntf =
*(tcObjectOperationsIntf) utilFactory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcObjectOperationsIntf");*
Map objmap =new HashMap(0;
objmap.put("Objects.Name", "AD User") \\ just hardcoding this AD User you can pass it as variable also
tcResultSet moResultSet = moobjIntf.findObjects(objmap);
long obj_key = moResultSet.getLongValue("Objects.Key");

OIM Client application development using OIM API, when user password is not available

I am developing a cleint application for OIM. The client application is a set of services, running on a separate server from where OIM is running.
The OIM version used is 11gR2.
As I look into the oimClient object, the login method takes username and password. As my application is in an SSO environment, I do not have the password for the user, and just have the user's login ID.
If I am correct, the tcUtilityFactory allowed a digital signature option, to support scenarios like the above.
Question is, does oimClient support similar functionality? I did not find any examples in the Oracle documentation.
I will appreciate if someone can confirm a similar usage and provide me some sample code and configuration details.
Thanks.

Custom Webservice Using OIM APIs

Hi..
How can we create and publish a custom webservice from OIM APIs??
OOTB SPML Webservice does not support all my requirements.
Thanks...

The OOTB Web services are mostly asynchronous, so its not mostly suitable for our synchronous activity in OIM. like create,update,enable,disable etc
So in order to develop the webservices...
first of all list down all the methods which u need to publish.
Write Java code for each methods..
after that publish all methods as Webservices (JAX-WS) on Weblogic server where OIM is running.
After that you can access your custom webservices of OIM.

J

After writing above code ,we have to create jar file.
Steps To Be Follwed In OIM Design Console
1)Copy jar file in ScheduleTask folder of your OIM server installation.
2)Expand administration tree & select TaskScheduler.
3)Create new task & in class name textfield we have to mention package.classname & mention appropriate values in other textfields & execute it.
4)Check output.

We need to override 2 methods while extending from SchedulerBaseTask i.e
init() :- this method is run before execute by the scheduler .
execute() :- is executed by the scheduler.
Revised code :-
package oimscheduler;
import java.util.HashMap;
import Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf;
import Thor.API.Exceptions.tcAPIException;
import com.thortech.xl.scheduler.tasks.SchedulerBaseTask;
public class Scheduler extends SchedulerBaseTask

               System.out.println("In Init");
               moUserUtility = (tcUserOperationsIntf) this.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf");
          catch (tcAPIException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
     protected void execute()
          try
               System.out.println("Executing Scheduler.....");

          catch(Exception e)
