Update a Task in a Process Definition

I am trying to use the OIM API to update a task in a process definition. In the tcWorkflowDefinitionOperationsIntf, there is a method called updateWorkflow(WorkflowDefinition workflow).
With this method, I am able to update the process definition to make it auto-prepopulate, auto-save, and default process. Is it possible to update a task in a process definition with this method?

A very simple example would be changing the description of a task.
E.g. Design Console -> Process Management -> Process Definition -> Modify the description of "Email Updated" task in LDAP User process definition .
I am wondering if I could use updateWorkflow(WorkflowDefinition workflow) to do the task above rather than using design console.

OIM - 'Task Effect' in Process Definition - Task Properties

Hi all,
I am trying to understand the drop-down selection 'Task Effect' on the General tab of Process Definition - Task Properties.
On page 7-18 of the Design Console docs it says:
"When the disable action is chosen, all tasks associated with the disable action are inserted."
Can someone elaborate on this? If I have four tasks, each with a Task Effect of 'disable', will they all fire if one of them does?
Any hints, or documentation references, would be greatly appreciated. I am using OIM 9.0.3, btw.
thanks,
Kam

Hi All,
I wanted to call OID delete user process task from AD process def. I have created a process task in AD Process def which will be integrated with OID Delete User adapter. How can i map OID related attributes to the adapter api?
Expected inputs for OID delete api :
root DN
orgDN
admin pwd
server
attr lookupcode
XLOrgFlag
sProcessInsKey
UserID
PDataOrg

Triggering Process Definition Tasks Based on Changes to Multiple Attributes

Hi All,
I'm in the process of creating a custom GTC connector to provision accounts to an LDAP directory. I've got more than 100 user defined fields with the user object in OIM and about 60 of them will be kept in sync with the user accounts in LDAP. When any of these 60 attributes get updated for a user, I would like OIM to update the attributes for the user in LDAP.
I know I can add 60 "Change <field name>" tasks to the process definition. However, that would be very inefficient for what I'm trying to do due to the number of attributes I'm dealing with. Often during large reconciliations from the systems of record, multiple attributes will change for each user. So if 20 attributes change for a user in one transaction and I have separate tasks for each attribute, that would result in 20 LDAP updates rather than just one.
So I'm wondering, is there a way to have one process definition task that will trigger when any of these 60 attributes get updated and include all the attributes and values that got updated in that transaction?
Thanks

Thanks for your response.
I was actually hoping to not have to use a process form to store all the user data for the LDAP provisioning connector. I was hoping to have the "Change" tasks update LDAP directly. The GTC framework seems to want to create a process form to store the target ID, but I would like to avoid storing all the user defined fields there. My reasoning for this is simply to avoid having user data duplicated in another location, which can often lead to sync issues. However, with that being said, if the only way I can gain performance improvements is through storing all the data in the process form, I would be willing to do that. Do you have any suggestions on how I can accomplish the single LDAP modify for multiple attributes without storing all the user defined fields in a process form?
But in any case, I've attempted your suggestion. I have created a few lookup definitions:
Code Key | Decode
USR_LAST_NAME | Change Multiple
USR_FIRST_NAME | Change Multiple
USR_LOGIN | Change Multiple
etc....
I've then added the "Change Multiple" task to the process definition. That task calls an adapter called adpTESTGTC_GTC. Now if I update last name and first name in the same transaction, I notice that the adpTESTGTC_GTC adapter gets called twice. So it seems like even though there's just one "Change" task, it will still get executed once for each attribute modified. So adpTESTGTC_GTC would essentially be performing the same work for each attribute (that is getting all the user data and updating the process form). Since both LDAP and the Oracle Database are external to the application server, I'm guessing X LDAP modifies is just as bad for performance as X updates to the process form, where X is the number of attributes being updated in the transaction.
kevin.pinsky wrote:
When the update completes, if any of the fields change, it will trigger your "Updated" task on your form for that field.I'm also not sure I understand your last sentence. Are you suggesting that I have one "Updated" task for each attribute that's being sync'ed with LDAP? If that's the case, then I'm still doing multiple LDAP modifies for one transaction, right? In the end, my goal is for a reconciliation process that updates up to 60 attributes for a user to just make one LDAP modify with the up to 60 attributes being updated rather than having a separate LDAP modify for each attribute. So if a reconciliation process updates 20 attributes for a user in OIM, I would like a single LDAP modify to update the 20 attributes for the user in LDAP rather than having 20 LDAP modifies that each update one attribute.
Thanks for your help. I would appreciate any further comments or suggestions.

Does the Task Status Email Notification definition work for you?

Hi,
Have you ever set the email definition Task Status Email Notification? Worked?
I've configured this template in my process tasks notifications. The e-mails for C and R status were sent OK but the values were all empty. Below are the subject and body of this email definition.
Subject
Process task <Process Definition.Tasks.Task Name> is <Process Instance.Task Details.Data>.
Body
The Process task <Tasks.Task Name> is <Task Details.Status>.
The details of this process task are as follows:
Process Task Name: <Process Definition.Name>
Process Task Status: <Task Details.Status>
Resource Name: <Resource.Resource Name>
Target User: <Users.First Name> <Users.Last Name> [<Users.User ID>]
Assigned to: <Process Instance.Task Information.Assignee First Name> <Process Instance.Task Information.Assignee Last Name> [<Process Instance.Task Information.Assignee User ID>]
Response Code : <Responses.Response>
Response Description : <Responses.Description>
Error Details : <Task Details.Reason>

Thanks for your attention.
For all custom process tasks I have set this definition to notify the target user, for example, when the task is Completed or Rejected. For all all I've got the same problem: the notification e-mail is sent but the values are all empty.
I thought the tags were based on the fields returned by the getProvisioningTaskDetails that returns the information below. But you can see the tags are different from.

Now my Problem is after Email Updated task is completed it is triggering my Task but my Task Is not getting Executed (JAVA code is not executed).
But when I manually add this task from Resource History , JAVA code is getting Executed .
What i founf is Email Updated task was triggered by OIMINternal User , So I add in Assignment tab to OIMInternal user , but no luck.
Task is getting Triggered but is not getting Executed.
Can any one suggest how i can run this task Automatiically.
Please help. Its bit urgent.
Thanks!!

Mapping Adapter to a process task in process definition.

Hi Guys
My requirement is , Disable users associated with an organization when the organization is disabled.
I have performed the following steps:
1. In design console Lookup definition Lookup.ACT_PROCESS_TRIGGERS , I added a row
ACT_DISABLED DisableUSerWhenOrgDisabled
2. Then I created process task adapter to recursively disable the users based on the organization name.
3.Next I attached the adapter to a new task in process definition --> Xellerate User with the name DisableUSerWhenOrgDisabled(decode field in Lookup.ACT_PROCESS_TRIGGERS ).
4.Then I mapped the Adapter variables to appropriate entities in the Integration tab.
Now when I login into the admin console and disable an Organization , the adapter is not at all invoked.
I am unable to get if I am missing anything.Kindly help in resolving this.
Is this the correct way to achieve this functionality?
OR
Do I need to go for Entity Adapters.
Thank you
sas

SAS,
You only need one adapter. You can use one variable that maps the Organization Name. Using this value, you can use the tcOrganizationOperationIntf apis to get information about that organization. Once you get the disabled value, you can create your if statement based on the value of this task. If the Organization is not disabled, return a literal string like "NO_ACTION_REQUIRED". If the Organization is disabled, using the code i previously posted, or the code you have generated, to disabled all the users within the organization. If this task successfully completes, return the literal string like "ALL_USERS_DISABLED". If an error happens, i would return something like "ERROR" or something more descriptive. Then on your responses tab, you can add these values you are returning, along with a more descriptive value. Set the NO_ACTION_REQUIRED and ALL_USERS_DISABLED to a C status and the ERROR responses to a R status. Now when you map your adapter, map in your Organization Name and for your Adapter Return Value map it to the responses.
As far as what you can do with responses. On the process task, the response tab, you can select the specific response, and then have it trigger another task.

How can we call a task in process definition A from Process definition B

Hi,
Is that possible to call a task in process definition A from Process definition B?
Thanks.

Sure, as long as you can come up with the correct query to lookup the task key for the task you want to run.

Remove Unused Process Tasks from Process Definition for Export

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to delete a process task that is no longer used in the process definition of our resource; however, I get an error indicating the "The task cannot be deleted it has schedule items". I would like to export the connector without this particular process task. Can anyone please provide any suggestions on how I can do this? Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Wendell

Hi,
As per my knowledge you cannot delete a process task, if the associated resource object has been provisioned to a user and the task which you wants to delete has been executed atleast once.
But you can very well delete a newly created process task with which no user has been provisioned.
Having said this, the workaround for your problem will be as follows.
1.Remove all the adapters,task dependecies,status mapping,etc from the task (in current env)and make sure that it doesn't get invoked in any scenario.
2.Now export this process definition to the new environment and before provisioning any user to that specified resource object , delete all the unwanted process task and save the process task.
Hope this will solve your problem

NS

OIM - Process Definition Dependent Tasks

Hi,
I have created two process definition tasks, and have attached task2 as a dependent task for task1. But, the task2 is not getting triggered.
Please let me know, what I am missing.
Regards
Vicky

Hi Suren,
My requirement is once the users last name is changed in the user form, it has to be populated in the process form and in the target.
So, I have written a process task for copying the value from user form to process form, and made the task that will talk to the target as dependent task.
I have attached the copy task as a user trigger.
But, here there is no return value from the copy task, so how can map this.
And, the copy task is working fine, able to populate the data in the process form. But, the dependent task is not getting triggered, to modify in the target.
Any help is appreciated.

Process Definition: Trigger on a Child Table

Let's say I have a Process Definition named "Process one" (of type provisioning).
My process contains a task, that has following options set on the 'General' tab
Child Form = 'CHILD_FORM1', trigger type = 'Insert'.
What does it mean?
1) This task conditionally fires when something is inserted into CHILD_FORM1 table or
2) This task performs some actions that are connected with inserting values into CHILD_FORM1 table?

I think if you want to consider an efficient solution, I would look at not implementing your requirements using triggers. If possible consider an API approach where whatever "applicaiton" is being used calls a PL/SQL package that will update both tables if necessary. There are a number of disadvantages to using triggers.
HTH!

How to create groups in AD using AD group process definition

Hello,
I want to create group in AD when i create group in OIM & i had achieved this using JNDI & was able to create groups in AD
successfully,now i want to create groups in AD using AD Group process definition which contains create AD Group task.
Can anyone suggest what flow should be followed to achieve this ?
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Shah

I think you can do R & D to acheive this via Event Handler.
1. Apply Event Handler on Group Object Form.
In Event handler class.
2. get the parameter from ADITresource.
3. Make JNDI call.
4. Create the same group name in AD.
There may be easy approach.
Which version of OIM you are using?
Thanks,
Kuldeep

Firefox won't close without using Task Manager - end process; can't start in safe mode or disable add-ons

I've been having a memory leak/hanging problem for weeks -- FF slowly increases memory usage until it's at almost 100% and then freezes and I have to shut it down via Task Manager/end process.
Last week I updated to FF 12, and I also added the Web Developer 1.1.9 add-on. Now every time I open Firefox it tries to go to the "Web Developer installed" page, but the page never loads. Nothing else will load either.
I can't start in Safe Mode because of the problem with having to close it in Task Manager. I select "restart with add-ons disabled" and it just never opens. The Add-On manager page won't load, so I can't disable Web Developer to see if that's the problem.
I've uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled, and it still goes right back to the Web Developer page when I open the freshly installed copy.
Help, please!

Have you already tried clearing the browser cache, opening a blank tab, and trying to open some other website ?
* [[how to clear the cache]]
Instead of trying to open safe mode from within the User Interface menu have you tried alternative methods such as holding the shift key when you start Firefox. (After checking for running Firefox processes or plugincontainer and killing them if found )
* see [[safe mode]]
* [[firefox hangs]]
If using safemode does not help first of all try creating and using a new profile.
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile]]_8-make-a-new-profile
If all the above fail then try a clean re-install of Firefox
