What is the use of "Organization" and "UserGroup" in Oracle Identity Mgr

Hi
I have created an user and provisioned it with an EBS instance.
Can anyone explain what is the use of "Organization" or "User Group" in Oracle Identity Manager?
What are the basic concepts of having them?
It seems that "Organization" is simply used for categorization of Users in OIM into various orgs and sub-orgs with the aim to create a logical hierarchy of users.
Anything more?
The use of "UserGroups" i find is only for the application of Access Policies and nothing else.
Please modify/add to the concepts.
Thanks
debashis

You can use Organizations to seperate groups of users and limit which resources are available to the users in that organization. You can also create administrative groups over those organizations.
Groups can contain membership rules to automatically place users into them based on attributes from their profile. You can also create access policies to apply to those groups to provision and restrict provisioning of resources. Groups can also be beneficial if you have department groups and such to be able to quickly view all the users who are part of it. Groups are also used during attestation and can be made process owners of the attestation tasks. And Groups can also be used for assignment of tasks such as approvals and provisioning tasks. Groups are also how permissions are assigned throughout OIM.
I'm sure there are many more uses, but this is a few of them.

Yes, but you have no way of knowing whether what you find on Google is right or not.We can say its right as long google places oracle docs at the top when you type some thing related to oracle.
I aways see something else on the top. I dont believe people stopped hitting or reading or searching oracle docs.

Hi,
Marker Update Updates the stock values and NO Marker does not.
Generally BX upload has to be compressed with MU and BF(and UM) delta init has to be compressed with NO MU because Stock was updated with BX. And delta loads of BF and UM has to be compressed with MU because these brings new Material movements which will has to give effect to stock.

Can anyone help me what is the use of business and proxy service in osb?

Hi,
I am new in Osb what is the use of business service and proxy service in osb.
I know little bit proxy service is used for actual message flow. I saw some project proxy service invoking the (using service callout,routing and publish) service,but the wsdl of the services of the proxy and business service is same.
Please can anyone explain the flow while executing through soapUI?(that means it will hit 1st business services or proxy service)
I have this project structure
business service
1.reference.biz----> this is the wsdl of ex:reference.wsdl
2.external.biz----> this is the wsdl of ex:external.wsdl
proxy service
1.referece.proxy--->this is the wsdl of ex:reference.wsdl(in this proxy we are routing to reference.biz proxy service both contains same wsdls why?)
xqueries of request and response.
Best Regards,
Raju.

Hi Raju,
Proxy Service - It is the starting point of you OSB application which deal with receiving messages, inducing logic in it like transformation, if-else, replace, java call outs,etc. You can put in your program logic here and then invoke a business service to route it to your Database or to any other queue as per your requirement.
Business Service - It is generally used for routing purposes, like inserting the input in your Database or sending it to a different queue or BPEL process, etc..

What is the default user name and password for oracle databse 10g

Hi: gurus, I just recently installed the oracle 10g personal edition and trying to log on to the enterprise manger, but can't figure it out the user name and password, can some one help me and tell me what is the default user name and password to logon to the oracle instance. BTW during the installation I choose two passowrds one for the schema and one for the global database orcl. I wonder will I be using one of these passwords. Still I don't have any clue for the "User Name".
thanks

system/manager and sys/change_on_install are still valid default passwords when database is manually created. If DBCA was used, passwords will be those defined at creation time inside DBCA.
In case passwords have been forgotten, those can be reset:
From an OS commnad prompt, set ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variables, just to make sure you are pointing to the right Oracle Home installation, and issue:
OS> sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter user sys identified by yourNewSysPassword;
SQL> alter user system identified by yourNewSystemPassword;
And you're done with it.

What is the use of ALE and EDI in IDOC process

hi gurus,
in which scenario we use ALE/EDI?
actually IDOC stands for Intermediate document which stores the data and sendng outbound and receiving inbound.
i am not understanding onething here what is the necessity to use ALE/EDI?
could you please tell me?
Regards,
SOMIU.

Hi Somu,
Purpose
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Application Link Enabling (ALE) are used for exchanging business data between different systems.
For both these forms of communication, you require the IDoc Interface. The IDoc interface is made up of the definition of a data structure and the processing logic of this data structure. The data structure is the IDoc. The IDoc is the general exchange format of the communicating systems. IDocs can be sent using different methods (for example, Structure linkRFC or as a file).
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
You distribute data using ALE if you want to communicate from one system to one or more other (mostly internal) systems. ALE transfers data in IDoc format and uses the methods of tRFC for data transfer.
· ALE enables the integration of business processes across several SAP or non-SAP systems.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
You use EDI if you want to exchange business application documents with an (external) partner system (for example, a customer or vendor). The SAP system sends EDI messages in IDoc format to an EDI subsystem, where they are converted to a universal EDI standard (UN/EDIFACT or ANSI/X12). This enables communication with non-SAP systems.
· By definition, two partners are involved in the process in an EDI application scenario: The sender and the recipient of an EDI message.
Thanks&Regards,
Phani.

What is the use of OR and AND functions in counter based maint plan

Hi
I want to create a counter based maintenance plan...
I entered the measurement reading for the counter, reading is 4000 hrs
IN IP43
I created the counter plan with cycle as 6000 hrs. Once the document reaches 6000 order will be created. While creating the maintenance plan, in the maintenance schedule parameters, i check there is OR and AND functions avaliable...
I know the basic use of both the functions..
But what is the significance in the maintenance plan....
Will it give any effect, between the schedule date and measurement docu entries...
Since i need to maintain like... once the counter reaches 6000 hrs only order should be created.. it should not create once the date as been reached... since due to present condition, i am not running the DG....
Give ur inputs
- Pithan

Hi
Thank you for your reply
As you said...
If you want order to be created only after certain Hrs to be reached to cycle value then you may opt for single cycle or strategy cycle
can u explain how to do it...
In single cycle or stratergy... if u schedule the plan itself, the dates will be populated.. it will calculate with respect to the annual reading we have entered in the measurement document...
My DG overhaul to be taken in every 6000 hrs... i create a plan... i have given the annual reading as 8000 hrs... if i schedule the plan for 5 yrs... wat will be the call objects...
Then i am running the DG for 3 hours a day... my annual running hrs will be 1000 hours.. but my order will be released since it has crossed the dates...
how to control... is it possible to do it in IP43 with multiple counter...
How to do this ?
Cna u explain

What is the use of ST05 ? and how to use " ST05 "

can anybody tell me what is the use of " ST05 "
and how can we handle it.

SQL Trace
SQL trace(ST05) provides the developer with the ability to analyse database select statements. Simply execute ST05
to turn on SQL trace, then execute the statement/program you want to analyse. Now turn off SQL trace using ST05
and click on list trace to view the details.
You can also perform traces on other items such as authorisation objects.
Authorisation trace analysis 1. Open two sessions
2. Execute transaction ST01 in one of the sessions
3. Select the authorisation checkbox, note the other traces
you can perform (SQL, RFC, Table Buffer etc)
4. Click the 'Trace On' button
5. Within your other session execte the transaction/report
you want to trace or get the user in question to do it
6. Return to the session where you turned the trace on and
click on 'Trace Off' otherwise it will continue to record
all athorisation checks
7. Click on the 'Analysis' button
8. Enter appropriate data into selection screen such as
Username, type of trace records (i.e. Authorization check)
9. Click on the Execute button.
10. Report displaying trace results will now be displayed
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/perform/perform_sqltrace.htm
Some useful transaction related to this are ..
ST01 SAP system trace
ST02 Buffer statistics.
ST03 Workload analysis.
ST04 Database performance analysis.
ST05 SQL trace .
ST06 Operating system monitor ...
From the recorded SQL trace you can deduce:
· Which SQL statements your application carries out
· Which values the system uses for specific database accesses and changes
· How the system translates ABAP OPEN SQL commands (such as
SELECT) into standard SQL commands
· Where your application positions COMMIT statements
· Where your application makes repeated database accesses
· What database accesses or changes occur in the update section of your
application
Look at the below links, you will get the idea
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/d1/801f89454211d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
http://www.sapbrain.com/TOOLS/SQLTRACE/SQL_TRACE.html
Check the following links:
http://www.sapbrainsonline.com/TOOLS/RUNTIMEanalysis/SAP_runtime_analysis.html
http://www.sapbrainsonline.com/TOOLS/SQLTRACE/SQL_TRACE.html
Use
The Performance Trace allows you to record database access, locking activities, and remote calls of reports and transactions in a trace file and to display the performance log as a list. It also provides extensive support for analyzing individual trace records.
SQL Trace: This allows you to monitor the database access of reports and transactions.
Enqueue Trace: This allows you to monitor the locking system.
RFC Trace: This provides information about Remote Function Calls between instances.
While the trace is switched on, the SQL Trace function records all database activity by a particular user or group of users. The R/3 System takes OPEN SQL statements and converts them in to embedded SQL statements that it passes to the database. It is the embedded SQL statements, their parameters, return codes, and the number of entries retrieved, inserted, or deleted that are recorded in the SQL Trace file. The log file also contains the runtime of the statement and the place in the application program from which it was called.
The SQL trace tells you:
The SQL statements executed by your program.
The values that the system uses for particular database access and changes.
How the system converts ABAP Open SQL statements (such as SELECT) into Standard SQL statements.
Where your application executes COMMITs.
Where your application repeats the same database access.
The database accesses and changes that occur in the update part of your application.

What is the best malwear detection and protection for use on a Mac?

What is the best malwear detection and protection for use on a Mac?

Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is foremost a problem of human behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the left side of the address bar when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
