Remove User Groups

Question

Hello All
I just upgraded to BP12 of OIM 9.1.0.2 and in the process, had some problems with the ORM integration where is was creating new copies of roles in OIM for ORM roles. Now, instead of the 30 or so user groups that I should have, I now have about 950 or so. I have fixed the issue with the groups in OIM and change the ORMID of all the groups in OIM so they are no longer linked to ORM, but now I need to remove them so they are not showing up on everyones profiles. Do you know if there is a way to permanently delete user groups and the associated links from OIM so they are not available. Any help you can give on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nick

Answer 1

You can create a list of the groups you want to keep in OIM. Include the 4 default ones. Then looping through the list of groups use something along the lines of the following:
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("Groups.Group Name", "*");
tcResultSet set = groupIntf.findGroups(map);
long[] users = new long[set.getTotalRowCount]'
for (int i=0;i<set.getTotalRowCount();i++){
set.goToRow(i);
tcResultSet users = groupIntf.getAllMembers(set.getLongValue("Groups.Key");
//Loop through the users result set to get all the Users.Key values. Add them to the array users[].
//After you loop through remove the users
groupIntf.removeMemberUsers(userList);
//After you remove the users, delete the group
groupIntf.deleteGroup(set.getLongValue("Groups.Key"));
I typed this off the top of my head, there is no validation in it. You will be expected to be able to come up with the rest of it in java, but this should give you something to go off of.
