Reassigning of task using API in OIM11g

HI Folks,
Can someone help me how to reassign task using API in OIM 11g?
The request is created and assigned the task to xelsysadm by default.
I want the task be reassigned to approvers group by retrieving all the pending task of xelsysadm.
The issue here is tcRequestOperations is no longers works in 11g.
I checked the RequestService API , it doesnt have a method of reassigning task.
Are there any ways aside from using API?
Hope you guys can help me here.
thanks,

You'll have to use SOA APIs for the same.

Reassign a task using API

Hello,
I'm trying to make a custom ADF worklist application for BPEL 10.1.3.3.
I have to add a reassignment feature.
I've seen the reassignTask(IWorkflowContext context, Task task, java.util.List taskAssignees) of the ITaskService interface. But I cannot create the taskAssignees list (List of ITaskAssignee objects representing the users/groups to reassign the task to). How can I create those ITaskAssignee objects?
Is there another way to reassign the task?
Thanks

(always under panic)

Hi,
I believe you want to create instances of TaskAssignee (an implementation of ITaskAssignee). e.g.
ITaskAssignee assigneeUser = new TaskAssignee("istone", false);
Where parameter 1 is the identity name, parameter 2 a boolean to indicate whether the assignee is a group. In that example we want a user so the flag is set to false.
You can then populate a List with these objects and send that along as your taskAssignees parameter to reassignTask.
List assignees = new ArrayList();
ITaskAssignee assigneeUser = new TaskAssignee("istone", false);
assignees.add(assigneeUser );
client.getTaskService().delegateTask(ctx, taskId, assignees);
I've not tested this as yet, I just happen to be working on something similar right this very moment.

UWL tasks using API

Hi all,
I am trying to create UWL tasks from webdynpro using the UWL API. but i am not able to do so.
I am using the below code for it.
IPushChannel push = uwlService.getPushChannel();
IProviderConnector connectors[] = uwlService.getRegisteredProviderConnectors();
int thisConnector = 0;
for(int j=0; j<connectors.length; j++){
x.reportSuccess(connectors[j].toString());
if(connectors[j].getId().equalsIgnoreCase(IProviderConnector.WEBFLOW_CONNECTOR_ID))
thisConnector = j;
if(thisConnector > 0) {
Item item =new Item(
IProviderConnector.WEBFLOW_CONNECTOR_ID,
"USER.R3_DATASOURCE.INABBEPSKA",""+new Date().getTime(),

Where am i going wrong!!!!!!!!!!
the tasks are not being created in UWL iview.

Hi Sudheer,
I have used the below code to create a task in the UWL, u can try with this code,
try
          IUser creator = null;

                     sapUser = clientUser.getSAPUser();
          creator = sapUser;
          IJWFPortalService service =     (IJWFPortalService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IJWFPortalService.KEY);
          IWorkflow eWF = service.getWorkflowEngineJMS();

Access KM using API as predefined user

Hello, dear experts!
Currently I am going to use KM as file storage for my application. I want to prevent direct access to KM content for all users and allow them to upload and download files only using my application.
The problem is:
I use not context of current user but some user found in UME.
IUser user = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID("Administrator");
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser ep5User = portalUserFactory.getEP5User(user);
context = new ResourceContext(ep5User);
When I try to operate KM (for instance create new folder) I get error: "User <Administrator> is not authenticated"
But user "Administrator" has all rights to access KM.
Is it possible to access KM using API as different user? Or is there another way to solve the problem?
Best regards,
Anton.

Hi, Praveen!
Thank you for your answer. Your code works fine!
But when I created my own service user "service_user" under Content Management -> Utilities -> System Principals I cannot get resource context even after restarting servlet engine.
I get an exception java.security.PrivilegedActionException: com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceException: User management exception: Could not get service user "service_user".
This user has the same permissions as "cmadmin_service".
Also user with the same name was created in UME.
May be I should execute some additional administrating task?
Best regards,
Anton.

Human Task Java API

Hi
I have a requirement to create human tasks without using soa. I am trying to use the Human task Java API. Using this API I can do all the operations like updating the outcome, adding/updating comments and updating assignee list but not able to create initial task. I am using initiateTask operation which requires task definition id. I dont know how to set this. Can anybody guide me
1. Can I create human tasks without using composite pure java api?
2. If I am able to create initial task what will be the task definition id? I tried to enter a new row in soa infra meta data table which did not work.
I really appreciate the help.
Thanks

Hi Sri
I have few Processes deployed to my SOA Domain and that too under different Partitions. For ease of maintenance, in EM Console under soa_infra node instead of default partition we can have our own Partitions also to deploy specific workflow projects under those partitions. If you don't have this thats ok.
I looked at Payload data for all the Tasks submitted by the first Initiator Task in EM Console, when we check the Flow Trace etc. Here is what I found for <taskDefinitionId> value for each of my different Processes. They do have some Pattern. So you had to use some sort of properties file to get these values so that if they are deployed to different partitions and with different versions, you do not have to modify your java code and recompile it. Just modify .properties file.
Anyhow, looks like the format for <taskDefinitionId> is something like this:
NameOfPartition + "/" + NameOfProcess + "!" + VersionNumber + "/" + NameOfInitiatorHumanTask
Here are some examples from my domain for some of the Process.
<taskDefinitionId>default/SalesQuoteProcess!1.0/EnterQuote</taskDefinitionId>
<taskDefinitionId>Ravi1_Partition/CreditReviewRequestProcess!1.0/HumanTaskCreditRequestor1</taskDefinitionId>
<taskDefinitionId>Jegga1_Partition/HolidayProcess!1.0/StartNewHolidayTask</taskDefinitionId>
You already tried hardcoding it I guess and it worked. Now try generating them dynamically using simple String appenders and sort of properties file to make it more dynamic. How often do we really change partition name or human task name itself or name of process itself. They are pretty much fixed. Now comes only the Version number. This can change with your new deployment if you want to have different version. So just read all these from .properties file.
Thanks

Creating attestation tasks using code

Is there anyone out there with experience of creating new attestation process tasks (APT table) and reassigning specific attestation task details (ATD table) to the new attestation process tasks?
My situation: I have a resource object that is assigned to the person that I want to perform the attestation. I create the attestation normally but the only choice I have is to assign all tasks to a single individual or to the user's manager. I choose a single individual. Once this attestation runs I want to reassign each task to a different user, however, there is only one task (APT record) created and all the task details (ATD records) are associated with that one task. I need to create new tasks for each request and associate the two. I have been able to reassign attestation tasks from one user to another by simply changing the usr_key on the APT table record but I am not sure if I can just insert a new row in the APT table and set all values to associate it with the proper ATD and ATR records and not muck something up in the attestation process.
Feel free to criticize my idea, all feedback is welcome. Thanks!
Edited by: h.mcpherson on Oct 29, 2010 6:32 AM

Kevin,
Thank you for your reply. Could you please give me some details on the API you are refering to? This might directly solve my dilemma. I found no methods in the javadocs for AttestationDefinitionOperationsIntf or AttestationOperationsIntf for reassigning the attestation request details to a different user.

Office 365 Reseller - Provision of new Office 365 business using API's?

Hi,
I couldn't work out which category to put this into. We have built our own provisioning and billing portal which is currently used to provision phone services. We currently resell hosted exchange and are looking to resell Office 365. Are there any API's
available for Office 365 for the creation, management, deletion of businesses and users within that business. We want all of the functionality of the office 365 partner and admin portal but we want all tasks to be completed within our own provisioning portal
using API calls to the office 365 admin tools?
For example, you can purchase office 365 from the godaddy website, we want to be able to do that.
Thanks.

Hi,
Could anyone advise on this matter ?
Thanks,
Kind regards.

Send an escalation e-mail without reassigning a Task

Hi There,
I came across this scenario recently, and I just wanted to check if it was possible, or what would the best way to achieve it.
Lets say we want to notify a Supervisor or Administrator by e-mail when any User has not completed a task within a set period?
- I can't use a "Reminder", because it only goes to the Task Owner
- I can't use an "Escalation" because it reassigns the Task
- I could "deadline" the Task, but it means reassigning it "back" to the owner, which starts the clock again, which is not really what I want to do.
- I could setup a custom alert in BAM that e-mails a warning, but this (out of the box) does not use the Business Calendar (i.e. a 3 day period will include weekends)
Whats the *best* way, do you think? Or is it a worthy request in the Product?
Thanks!

You can probably do it, though Flash won't be able to send anything. Flash could only go as far as opening the user's email client with some information already filled in. It couldn't execute sending that email. What you will need to do is have a server-side script (such as a PHP script) that Flash sends the data to that prepares and sends the email.
You probably also want to have something that prohibits sending more than once, such as removal of the data from wherever Flash gets it or a change in status that Flash uses or some email logging system that the PHP file checks against.

Add approval task through API call

Hello, I am attempting to solve the following problem.
I have a UDF defined on the Resource Objects form (OBJ table), this filed contains a comma delimited list of OIM groups which is of size n (based on the resource object).
I would like to create an approval task for each group in this list. In addition i would like the name of each task to show up as the group name. so when a user logs into the UI and looks at the approval details the see the approval task as the group name.
I have been able to add a task using tcProvisioningOperationsIntf.addProcessTaskInstance API however this API does not allow me to modify 1) the group to assign the request to and 2) the name of the task.
thanks

Hey Kevin, thanks for responding.
This query will allow me to get the process task key, so i can be added to the approval task via. tcProvisioningOperationsIntf.addProcessTaskInstance. However the issue is, no task currently exists. So before i can add an instance of the task i have to actually create a new task. but i was un-sure how to accomplish this through api calls.
The goal here is to allow a list of groups to be configurable at the resource level without having to modify the approval process.
thanks

How to get the process instance key so as to retry a rejected task through api while ad provisoing?

Hi All,
How to get the process instance key so as to retry a rejected task through API while AD provisioing state?
API URL - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/apirefs.1112/e28159/toc.htm
Thanks

To retry a task that is in a rejected state, you use the SCH_KEY which is the task key. In OIM, all rejected tasks are listed in the OTI table. It contains all the important information about a rejected or pending task.
You can use the APIs found in the tcProvisioningOperationsIntf class to retrieve open tasks.

Executing a query using API

Hi All
Is there any way to query OIM database using OIM API.
i mean excuting a custom query.
Thank you
sas

To execute a query, you can use the following:
tcDataSet tcDS = new tcDataSet();
tcDS.setQuery(<dbRef>, <queryString>);
tcDS.executeQuery();
<dbRef> -> If executing from adapter, you can use tcDataProvider or if invoking from a scheduled task use 'getDataBase()'
<queryString> -> String containing the query.
As mentioned in earlier replies, using direct queries is not recommended, you should be using APIs instead. tcUserOperationsIntf.findUsers(Map) wil work. Then on the tcResultSet object returned you can use getRowCOunt() to determine # of rows.
Hope this helps.

Error while signing a document using API

Hello. I'm using API functions to add a digital signature to a PDF document. While signing this document, I receive an error which looks like:
com.adobe.livecycle.signatures.client.types.exceptions.PDFOperationException: ALC-DSS-303-001 Could not sign Signature Field MyField (in the operation : sign)
Caused By: ALC-DSS-303-014 Subject name and the subject alt name missing. (in the operation : getSignerName)
My source code is a straight copy/paste from the SDK Help. I can successfully add an unsigned signature field using API call, but I can't sign it. I can also sign my document manually from Adobe Acrobat Professional using the same certificate.
I'm new in LiveCycle and digital signatures, so it might be some obvious reason that I just can't detect now.
Could anyone help me, please?

you can mail me directly to [email protected], and I'll try to help.
