Request Key for Role Requests in OIM 11.1.1.5.0

Hi,
We are currently working on an enhancement in which after the role request is approved in the work flow process (SOA), need to be assigned to a group. A notification has to be sent to this group with the request details and the task needs to be assigned to them.This functionality is implemented using the process task and providing the group name in the assignment tab of the task.
The problem we are facing here is, we are not able to get the request key (of the role request) dynamically, which can be used in the adapter to get the request details/ role details.
We have implemented the same process while requesting for RO. i.e. after the RO request is approved in the SOA work flow it gets assigned to a group.
In that case we could get the request key by using the below sql query:
"select usr.USR_LOGIN,req.request_key,usr.usr_first_name,usr.usr_last_name from usr usr,request req,oiu oiu where req.request_key=oiu.request_key and req.requester_key=usr.usr_key and oiu.orc_key=" + processInstanceKey;
How ever for the role requests, we are not able to figure out the query / any other process using which we can get the request key dynamically that can be used in the process task adapter.
Please suggest the db query or any other method to get the request key for the role request.
Thanks in advance.
Shakti.

Hi Kevin,
The complete steps that we are following are as below:
1. The requester raises a request for assigning role xyz to user abc by using request template. Once the SOA workflow is completed the user gets the role.
2. After the evaluate user policy scheduler is run and the record is inserted in to the child table, a task "ADD Role To User" is triggered,
3. Have created an adapter to set Response= "SUCCESS" and associated it with the task "ADD Role To User".
4. On Response= "SUCCESS" we are triggering two tasks. i. Assigning task to a team
ii. Sending notification to the team about the role request.
5. While writing the task for sending notification ,we have created an adapter. We need to get the request key(of step no 1) and role details to be displayed in this mail.
As you have mentioned, "There should be no process instance key for a Role Request because there is no object.", i am not able to figure out a way to get the request key
which i can use in the adapter to send notification.
Please suggest how can i get it and let me know if you need any other details.
Thanks in advance.
Shakti.

....OIM and SOA tables for new Request for Roles

Hello OIM experts, please help me. I need the list of database tables that get updated when we submit new request for Roles. I need the tables that get updated by both SOA and OIM during request submission and approval.
Appreciate your great help.
thanks

REQUEST table stored request template related information. IN OIM 11G, you can see three level of approval, template level, request level and operation level. OIM has certain pre-defined template, that information is stored in Request table. To get information on any table:Execute below query
select COMMENTS FROM USER_TAB_COMMENTS WHERE TABLE_NAME=<Tabel name for e.g.'REQUEST'>;
It'll give info on all tables.

OIM 11g r2 ps2. Setting end date for role requests

Hi,
reviewing the new features document on oim 11g r2 ps2: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/id-mgmt/overview/oim-11gr2-whats-new-1709505.pdf
it says "For example, in a request that involves multiple entitlements, the requester might be required to specify the start date and end date for each of the entitlements requested. OIM enables requesters to provide such information during request that can be carried all the way to approval and provisioning processes. OIM also provides an out-of-the-box scheduled task for entitlement grant and revoke based on the start and end dates specified"
I've been searching on the documentation and doing tests on a virtual environment before a poc to a customer and can not find how to use that feature.
Is it an OotB feature or it needs codification and extra configuration?
Any tips on how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

How to raise create role request in OIM 11gR2?

How can I let a user to raise a create role request in OIM 11gR2?
If I assigned the Role Viewer or Role Authorizer admin role to the user, the create button for role is disabled.
If I assign the user as Role Administrator, the role will be directly created without raising any request.
If I assign the user as SPML Admin, the create button is enabled, but after filling the form and clicking the "save" button, an exception will be thrown saying "IAM-3054100 : The logged-in user AA10127 does not have createRole permission on Role entity."

Make sure the connection is configured as "Direct Connection to Dispatcher" and "Default" transport layer.
Is your Web AS running on port 50000?
Also, if you are having license problems and you loose your temp license the Web AS will only run for 30 minutes so start it up and try to connect within that time limit.

Creation of a Request in OIM 11G using API's

Hi Friends,
I am trying to create a request using OIM 11g API's.
I am trying to do this for EBS Responsibility resource and this resource has a request dataset has EBS-IT-Resource-Instance, application name, responsibility name, start date and security group. Please note application name, responsibility name, start date and security group are in child form.
I am trying to populate the request dataset using the below code.
List<RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute> entityAttrList;
RequestBeneficiaryEntity entity = null;
entityAttrList = new ArrayList<RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute>();
entity = new RequestBeneficiaryEntity();
tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf tcITResourceIntf = Platform.getService(tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf.class);
HashMap searchcriteria = new HashMap<String, String>();
searchcriteria.put("IT Resources.Name", "EBSHF-APPS12");
tcResultSet resultSet = tcITResourceIntf.findITResourceInstances(searchcriteria);
long itResourceKey=resultSet.getLongValue("IT Resources.Key");
entityAttrList.add(this.getAttrLong("eBusiness Suite Instance Name",itResourceKey));
entityAttrList.add(this.getAttr("Application Name","3~300"));
entityAttrList.add(this.getAttr("Responsibility Name", "3~300~52281"));
entityAttrList.add(this.getAttr("Security Group", "3~0"));
entity.setEntityKey(getResourceKey("Oracle eBusiness Responsibility"));
entity.setEntityType(RequestConstants.RESOURCE);
entity.setEntitySubType("Oracle eBusiness Responsibility");
entity.setEntityData(entityAttrList);
private RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute getAttr(String name, String value)
RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute attr = null;
attr = new RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute(name, value, RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute.TYPE.String);
return attr;
private RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute getAttrLong(String name, long value)
RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute attr = null;
attr = new RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute(name, value, RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute.TYPE.Long);
return attr;
My code is working fine and a request is getting created. But when I try to open the request dataset(object form) for the newly created request, I am getting null exceptions.
If I did not populate the fields that are in the child form application name, responsibility name and security group which are highlighted above, then I am able to view the form with the correct IT-Resource-Instance name after request creation.
So, I am thinking I am doing something wrong while populating child form data in the request dataset.
Can you please provide me some code snippet to populate the child using 11G API'S?

Hi Bikash,
After referring your code, i made changes in mine. Here is my updated code.
RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute parantAttr=null;
List<RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute> entityAttrList;
RequestBeneficiaryEntity entity = null;
entity = new RequestBeneficiaryEntity();
parantAttr=this.getAttrLong("eBusiness Suite Instance Name", itResourceKey);
RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute mid1 = new RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute();
List <RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute> childAttributesList = new ArrayList<RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute>();
childAttributesList.add(this.getAttr("Application Name", "3~555"));
childAttributesList.add(this.getAttr("Responsibility Name", "3~555~22862"));
childAttributesList.add(this.getAttr("Security Group", "3~0"));
mid1.setChildAttributes(childAttributesList);
mid1.setAction(RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute.ACTION.Add);
entityAttrList = new ArrayList<RequestBeneficiaryEntityAttribute>();
entityAttrList.add(parantAttr);
entityAttrList.add(mid1);
But when I try to run this, it is getting failed saying "RequestServiceException: IAM-2050033:Invalid attribute name null. No corresponding reference was found in the data set ProvisionResourceOracle eBusiness Responsibility".
Here is my request data set for your reference.

</AttributeReference>
I am not sure why it is not referencing to the attribute. In your blog, it is saying your code is to set process form. But i am trying to create a request using API's. so, I need some code snippet to populate request dataset. Do you think, this will serve both?
Thanks for your help.

While creating a request to provision iPlanet User one of the errors I was getting:
oracle.iam.request.exception.RequestServiceException: IAM-2050061:Type mismatch for the attribute Server. The type passed is String, but the corresponding type in the data set is Long.:Server:String:Long
So I replaced the value of the attribute Server to the IT Resource.Key which is 5. After making the changes, it goes through approvals with no problems, but when I approve all the work items, it errors out with an error:
Error occurred while provisioning resource with key 45 to user 5
User Key is 45 and Resource Key is 5. I'm not sure why it swapped it.

OIM 11gR1 : Parallel approval for role assignment.

Hi,
I'd like to add custom attributes to a role : "District security officer" and "Department security officer" (Can those be used for searching users? -- i.e. users lookup)
When the role is to be assigned to a user, I'd like the workflow engine to open tasks for the members entered on those custom attributes.
Also, Is it possible to assign a Role instead of the users in the custom attributes ?
Meaning, Approving user assignment of a role named "Role A" will be done by users that belong to "Role_A_Approvers".
Will appreciate pointers to the online docs, I've search and didn't find information related to the usecase I've described.
Thanks,
Meni,

But I think there was an issue which someone reported here which said that you cannot add additional attributes to the role dataset. Logically it makes sense because there is no custom attribute for role in OIM so dataset should not allow it either.
I've noticed that the design console allows adding custom attributes to roles.
This can be done via Administration --> User Defined Field Definitions --> UGP (Table name).
Once a field is added, you'll need to choose "Properties" and add a "Visible Field = true" prop to the attribute chosen.
This will add a custom attributes section where your attributes will be shown.
Question is how you can add a "search users" lookup instead of plain string for this custom attribute,
and how those attributes will find their ways into the BPEL composite where business decisions based on those attributes may be taken (assign task per this attribute for an example).
Also, Is it possible to assign a Role instead of the users in the custom attributes ?
Meaning, Approving user assignment of a role named "Role A" will be done by users that belong to "Role_A_Approvers".You can create request for multiple roles in a single request and in your approval process you need to dynamically set the human task assignee based on the role selected. You also need to attach the approval process to orchestration level so that it generates a separate child request for each role selected.
I'm not sure I understand how the proposed approach helps avoid the decoupling of users to role admins attribute.
The intention was to have two roles, "Role_A" and "Role_A_Approver" where people that belong to "Role_A_Approver" will be assigned workflow tasks whenever Role_A is to be granted to end-users.
Currently, each role has a "Role Admin" attribute, this attribute however holds a user and not a container of users (role)..
Will appreciate pointers to the online docs, I've search and didn't find information related to the usecase I've described.

Approval Process for Role in OIM

Experts,
When a role is approved for a user in OIM, can we stop the user without getting assigned to the role immediately.
We would like this scenario, user requests for role, the role owner approves it in OIM and then the role assignment happens in OIA.(or)
User requests for the role, the approval workflow sends the request to OIA for approval from role owner , once approved it can be assigned in OIA and then automatically reflected in OIM as well.
Which option is more feasible...and recommended?
Thanks,
Krish

Thanks Kevin for the reply.
Approval process code will be initiated in OIM and approving happens in OIA. Once approved, the role can as well be assigned in OIA. This can update OIM automatically by assigning the user with the requested role.
(Or)
Approval process code will be initiated in OIM, approving also happens in OIM, the role also gets assigned in OIM and an OIA updates this change accordingly.
Which one would be recommended?
Krish.

How to get details of Pending Approval request in OIM 11g R2?

Hi,
We need to find out following details from Pending Approval Request in OIM 11g R2 -
Request ID,Assignees,Requested Resource Name, Title of Request, Beneficiary, Status of Request.
Out of above attributes we could find out Assignees, Title of Request, Status of Request, Beneficiary, etc. But we are not getting Request ID and Requested Resource Name.
We have used API - 'IworkflowServiceClient'
If we use API - 'RequestService' then we are not getting Assignees and Resource name from Pending approval request.
Can any one suggeste how can we get these details? Do we need to use other API or other alternative to get all of attributes from Pending Approval Request.
Thanks.

Thanks Kevin for your suggestion.
In OIM 11g R2 I tried task.getIdentificationKey() to get Request ID and task.getSystemMessageAttributes().getTextAttribute6() to get requested resource name but I am getting null values out of it. Is there something I am missing?
Which common thing I can use to retrieve data from both OIM and SOAINFRA? As I am not getting Request ID from 'IworkflowServiceClient' API so I could not use it to earch request in OIM using 'RequestService'. Even if I have to use query what will be common thing I can use to fetch data from both tablespaces?
Thanks.

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
Sunny
