Scedule Task OIM 11G

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to create a schedule task in OIM11G .
I have done
* export, update, import the task.xml .
* creates a java class that extend the schduler class as reuired.
* created a jar file
* created the plugin zip file ( named plugin.zip )
* put the plugin.zip file in <oim-home>/ plugins
now:
I go into the web console, create a new task, I can see my class in the list and I create a task.
when I ran the task in the consoel I see an error that it can not load the class , so my question is :
do I need to put the jar file in some directory ? - which one exactly ?
thanks

Hi
There are two ways to write a scheduled task in OIM11g.
One is plug-in and other is having the scheduled task xml uploaded to MDS.
Out of the second option you can do it in two ways.
1. update your scheduled task details in the OOTB task.xml and import it back. Then create a scheduled Job using admin cosole.
2. Create an XML file like the one shown and upload it to /db in MDS. Name the xml same as the task name.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<scheduledTasks xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com">
<task>
<name> Recon Exception Report Update Task</name>
<class>com.xxxx.iam.scheduledtasks.ReconExceptionForReportsTask</class>
<description>The task updates the recon_exception table with orphan account information</description>
<retry>0</retry>
<parameters>
</parameters>
</task>
</scheduledTasks>
Once uploaded successfully, create and Job from OIM admin console.
Finally , the Jar can be placed in JavaTasks folder and it definitely picks up.
That's it You are done.
Let me know if you have any questions.
