Target recon details against reporting

Question

Hello,
"eBusiness UM Target Resource User Reconciliation" schedule task is reconciling target ESB changes to OIM user process form.
This schedule task creates OIM recon events which gets link immediately (according the recon rules) - and updates user process form with new data.
requirement:
Ideally, all changes should flow through OIM. However, in urgent scenarios it is allowed to update the details in ESB.
So, anytime when above schedule task runs, we want to log/capture the changes made in target which could be verified later(we allow OIM to sync up with those changes through target reconciliation).
Now the question is:
The details(we're mainly interested for user "responsibility" changes - In OIM user process form, it is multivalued attributes goes in child process form) should be captured before hand. So that it could be compared with old data in OIM process form (delete/update/add - responsibility) scenarios.
What should be the best approach to deal with this requirement?
Thanks,

Hello,
For testing purpose, I've created an adapter and added into the "Reconciliation update received" task.. and mapped the runtime variable to corresponding attributes with new and old process form values.
Code snippet -
=========
package abc.oim.Report;
import java.io.*;
public class ReportToFile{
     public String logUserUpdateMsgToFile(String UserName, String userId, String responsibility,
               String oldUserName, String olduserId, String oldresponsibility)
     String status = "FAILED";
     try{
          // Create file
          FileWriter fstream = new FileWriter("output.txt",true);
          BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fstream);
          out.write("------------------------------------:" + UserName + ":" + userId + ":" + responsibility + "\n");
          out.write("------------------------------------:" + oldUserName + ":" + olduserId + ":" + oldresponsibility + "\n");
          //Close the output stream
          out.close();
          status = "PASS";
     }catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
          System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
     return status;
=====
However, after running the target recon task, i could not see any output.txt file getting created in the filesystem. It is linux machine.
I tried with -
FileWriter fstream = new FileWriter("/home/oiminstaller/output.txt",true); also, but it is not working.
Any idea ?
Thanks,
