Where is Middle Initial defined in Process Task User Definition area?

While mapping a Trigger task in a Process Definition, I was mapping an integration of an adapter. In the User Definition section, there is a Qualifier named "Middle Initial" and there is NO Qualifier named "Middle Name".
When I go pull up the Users Form in the System Administration console, the USR_MIDDLE_NAME field is defined as "Middle Name", and when I pull up the Field Type Lookup for USR_MIDDLE_NAME, the Code is "Users.Middle Name" and the code key is "Middle Name". No where am I seeing anything marked "Middle Initial".
I will test this to make sure I am getting a trigger from USR_MIDDLE_NAME to my process task "Change User Middle Name", but I cannot figure out where the labels for the User Definition/Qualifier fields are defined or why no one thought to correct this. Any help from the DEV team would be appreciated.
Similar to this, when mapping the User Definition fields in a Preprocess Adapter, I get weird labels, such as "Email Address", I assume for the USR_EMAIL field. Since no where is this label ever defined for this field, I just wonder where this label is coming from and again, why there are so many inconsistencies across the labels. None of this is critical, anyone who has worked with the product would normally just shrug and move on, but would like someone to explain this.

Your response confirmed what I guessed. I will try to launch my own workflow like that. Did you do something similar before?
It's just there is no explicit code passing the id value to the object, I do not see how the jsp will be able to load the process. I am just afraid I missed something that's handled behind the scene. Then when I copy the way they do it, my customized process is not known by the system, then of course I will fail.
I will keep you posted if that works.

Java adapter in process task

Hi,
I'm using DBAT connector to provision data from OIM to target system. I have a requirement to change password in target system when it is being changed in OIM (by default is is changed but this change has to be done in specific way). I have crated a java code that changes password in certain way and implemented it as a adapter in OIM (simple adapter; one input (user password) and one output).
I guess that I should create a task in the process form that invokes this adapter, but after some trials I am still not able to make it work fine.
My question is: how to implement adapter in the process task? There are 2 tasks by default that corresponds to user password:
- Change User Password
- Edit USR_PASSWORD
Should I edit them?
Thanks in advance!

I don't concur with the approach Suren is suggesting because he is asking to set the password through Change User Password task itself. So you will have to create additional adapter variables which would be required to connect to the target and then update the OID password. And all this stuff is already there in the Password Updated task.
If not this then may be you will have to update the Process form using API's ( ? ? ?)
But in nearly 99% of such User Profile to Target attributes Updates you use Change User Password and Password Updated combination. So always:
- Change User password fetches the password from User Definition and save it to Process form *(transformation could also be done as required like upper case)*
- From process form its forwarded downstream

To define a process where the RE and RAS orders are free of charge

We have ( US , UK , Canada, Germany, France ) more than 2000 sales docs related to order
RE Return&Credit for returns and RAS Repair with status "in process" ( using transaction
VA05) all of them have the billing block active because no charge to customer meaning no invoice will
be generated to change the status to " completed". In those orders all steps are completed
except the order itself:
Is there any way to define a process where the RE and RAS orders are free of charge and all steps included with
the status "completed" to have the order status "completed "=> create automatically an invoice to 0 or but never printed and ship to customer

Hi,
If your RE and RAS order are FOC and not relevant for billing
In VOV8 for this order type set tick mark to Immediate delivery
Then see which item categories you are determining then go to VOV7 in item detail make billing relevance as not relevant for billing
There is no need to create invoice of ZERO value,still you want o generate invoice with zero value then make billing relevance as order related oR delivery related
Make STATISTICAL VALUE as Y in item detail so if there values for item that will remain at item level in invoice and NET VALUE always ZERO

stucked in passing the document to next human task.
is there any way i can do it??
Please suggest something.
thanks in advance

User/Role management is now done through the workspace itself. You must login as an administrative user (like weblogic) and you will see an Admin link in the upper right of the workspace.
Authentication and user lookup is now handled directly by Weblogic - so you setup authentication Providers in the WLS security realm through the admin console.
By default Weblogic is configured to use an internal LDAP that stores local users (this is where the "weblogic" user itself is defined).

Query on Responses Tab in Process tasks

Hi *
I have a process definition for a resource object(GTC) which is already deployed, where there are some user defined responses added under responses tab of Process Tasks.
Like...
*Response Code: GCPROV.ADAPTER_FORMNOTFOUND
Response Desc: OIM Process Form not found in OIM
Status: R*
How to add these type of response codes and how they are triggered for example in above case?
How to create these type of OIM side responses?
I checked in error message definition, but didnt find these responses.
Thanks in Advance
Karthik.

Well Responses actually let you do these type of decision making logic at OIM level. Say you would the expect the code to process a requesting user's ID to get evaluated as a tragte user's manager or not. Now your adapter does the processing and returns TRUE and FALSE based on this decision. So what you will do in OIM is, map the FALSE to R and description like Only manager can raise requests. For TRUE youcan map to C and response like Request is created by a manager.
And for the default response sin GTC GCPROV.ADAPTER_DATE_PARSE_ERROR,GCPROV.ADAPTER_PROCESSNOTFOUND. They are some code generated responses which do come with the GTC xml's.
Thanks

Disabling user through API call -process task-followed by an Enable User...

Hi,
I am running on OIM 9.1 BP11. I implemented a process task to disable the user based on a URS form field change.
I can confirm from the log file and the resource that the Disable user (xellerate user) happened. But the user got enabled back right away. The log file showed that a scheduled task named "Enable User After Start Date" ran and enable the user. So, I disabled that scheduled task.
Then I repeated the test again. I observed the same behavior of user being disabled and enabled again but this time, OIM called an adapter. This is what I observed in the log file:
20988 INFO,20 Oct 2010 12:21:56,519,[XELLERATE.DATABASE],DB read: select evt.ev t_key, evt.evt_name, evt.evt_package, mil.mil_name from mil mil, evt evt w here evt.evt_key = mil.evt_key and mil.mil_key=10

Please help.

Do you have any Entity Adapter or Event Handler or Trigger which enables user for some condition ?
Check your environment. If you have please remove that and try.
Does this user has and provisioned resource ? If yes, try for some other user which doesn't have resource provisioned.

How Assigned TO field will be updated in "start Approval process" Task Action

I have created a reusable workflow in sharepoint designer. Am using “start Approval process“ Task Action. I have a question in “start Approval process“ Task Action.
I have username field in the list. I have created a task form field with name username in “start Approval process“ Task Action. I have assigned list username field to task field username field.
I have entered a user details in list user name field for new list item. Once the workflow has been started for that item a mail has been sent to the user whose name I have entered in the list user name field. Task has been assigned to the user whose name
I have entered in the list user name field.
When I have checked start Approval process task a send mail activity is present (Email Task notification currentitem:Assigned TO) .
I have not update Assigned To field explicitly.
1. Where / how the Assigned TO field is getting updated ?
2. Workflow Initiation and task creation will be done internally by the user who created the item in the list?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had questions about the “start Approval process“ Task Action.
When you add the “start Approval process“ Task Action, you need to to select the user who the task assign to.
To assign the user whose name you have entered in the list user name field, you add action as below:
After you select the user, the Assigned TO field is getting updated.
In addition, workflow Initiation and task creation will be done internally by the user who created the item in the list.
Thank you for your understanding.

Analysis Service Process Task Connection Manager

hi there, I was trying to use this Process Task inside SSIS to process Dimensions and partitions. The connection string for the AS connection manager is through a configuration file and value is
Data Source=10.50.30.71;Initial Catalog=ORDERDW;Provider=MSOLAP.5;
(Notice that there is no user name and password provided)
To my surprise, when I run it under SSDT 2012, the connection was tested ok and package was actually runnning withour error? Why as it does not make any sense? Under which credentials is this package running as it definitely needs username/password
to connect to AS server. Thanks
The package protection level is using default which is encryptSensitiveWithUserKey

To my surprise, when I run it under SSDT 2012, the connection was tested ok and package was actually runnning withour error? Why as it does not make any sense?
By Default the Windows Credentials are use to logon to SSAS and I guess you have permissions to logon? So where exactly do you see an issue here?

Does analysis service process task honor dynamic connections?

simple question.. I have a ssis package which contains analysis service process task.. it went well in the dev env. Now, I've deployed to production and connection manager was set by configuration tables.. however, it seems to me that the connection manager
on production is still pointing to the dev env... any workaround?
thanks

Hi cat_ca,
To achieve your goal, we can combine the Environment variable Configuration with SQL Server Configuration. In short, we can create an Environment variable type Configuration to define the connection string for the Connection Manager that is used by a SQL
Server Configuration to connect to the SQL Server configuration table. To create such an Environment variable Configuration, we need to create a system Environment variable on each server to host the connection string for the corresponding connection manager
such as:
Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=TestDB;Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;
Besides, we need to make sure the Environment variable Configuration is above the SQL Server Configurations in the Package Configurations Organizer list.

Regarding OIM process tasks

Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to OIM. I have installed AD connector and i am able to provision the user to AD. I have observed that Create AD User process definition has almost 25 process tasks. When i observed the tasks that are called after provisioning of user to AD i found that only four tasks are getting called. What about the rest of the tasks when they are called. Is there any way that we can know when these tasks will be called under what situation.
What i want to know is there are mapping which specifies for which action which task to be called. Like for example if change password action is triggered Change Password process task is triggered. So which means there should be some where this mapping may stored which i want to know.
Like i create a new process task and i want to call it when particular action is triggered.
Any body help me in understanding this please.......

Hi,
Process tasks work the same in all processes, regardless of the adapter. This was designed on purpose so that a level of abstraction can be made between the technical details of connecting/acting on a target and the business process.
So, in a nutshell, there are different kinds of tasks:
1) Non-conditional -- these are tasks that run at the start of any process. To define order on these tasks, you must use the Task Dependency tab
2) Disable/Enable tasks -- these are tasks whose Task Effect is either disable or enable. These tasks run whenever the OIM user is disabled or enabled, or when it is done manually. Same thing about order.
3) Undo Tasks -- these are tasks that run when a particular task is undone. They typically run on a revoke, which runs all the undo tasks on the non-conditional tasks
4) OIM/ACT/etc Triggers -- these are typically in the form "Change <attribute>" but they can be anything and are defined in the trigger lookups. They run whenever an attribute on the OIM user changes and that task exists in the process definition
5) Form triggers -- they are in the form: "<Attribute name> Updated" This is hard coded and the attribute name must be the form description name (like "First Name", not UD_ADUSER_FIRSTNAME). These run whenever the process form gets updated for a particular field. They do not run on reconciliations
6) Reconciliation tasks -- these tasks are run whenever a reconciliation event is processed and are defined in the Task Generated tab on the task definition.
7) Attestation -- just like Reconciliation
To see these visually, I suggest hitting the Render Workflow button... OIM separates each of these out for you in the tabs in that screen.
Cheers,
Deborah

The role with type Initiation Defined is empty ?!

Hi guys,
I have that exception when I want to start my GP Process :
The role with type Initiation Defined is empty. Please add users to this role: Action_10
But I don't really know What is Action_10. I do not have anything about that name. Where does it come from ?
Regards

Ok, after lot of investigation, I find the solution.
It is quite hard to explain because the solution regards the Role tab of the process. One of my bloc was set to Initiation Defined this is the problem. I switch it to +Initiator + thus everthing is OK.
If someone knows why that, I will be glad to have information.

SSIS Analysis Services Processing Task - which object is being processed?

Hi
I've just fallen down the hole dug by a gotcha in the SSIS Analysis Services Processing task (let's call it the ASPT as it's too long to type).
I was doing testing yesterday, targeting a test database. The way things are set up here is that we have two structurally-identical databases (let's call them SSASLive and SSASTest) on the same SSAS server.
The SSIS package includes an Analysis Services Processing task that processes a partition of a measure group in a cube.
So I changed the properties of the AS Connection Manager in the package to point to database SSASTest. Then, because I'm paranoid, and don't trust the Editor for the ASPT, I edited the object to be processed, by deleting the existing object from the
list and re-adding it (going down the tree: database SSASTest, cube TheCube, measure group TheMassiveMeasureGroup, partition CurrentMonth).
This is an annoying necessity, because: the ASPT editor doesn't allow you to see exactly what the object(s) in the list to be processed are, by e.g. double-clicking on them. All you can see is the lowest-level object name, which could be just
"Current Month". Current Month what? There's no way of telling.
Test worked fine. I made sure the AS Connection manager was reset to point to SSASLive, and deployed the package.
This morning, the package ran, and processed the partition in database
SSASTest. What happened? Looking in the Code view of the package, I found the XMLA behind the Processing task: the database name is literally specified in the XMLA, and completely ignores the Catalog of the AS connection. This information
is not exposed anywhere in the UI view of the package.
It's a bit like the dangerous annoyance when testing SSIS package Exec SQL tasks, where a previous developer has insisted on fully-qualifying object names: SELECT * FROM LiveDatabase.dbo.ATable. You're working with a connection to a test database,
but it makes not difference...
But at least that problem is clearly visible. I know that specifying the database name is normal in XMLA tasks: but at least the SSIS editor should allow you to see what the setting is.

No, the point is that the Connection Manager's Initial Catalog setting (whether hard-coded or set by any of the configuration methods) has no effect on the database addressed by the Analysis Services Processing task.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an Analysis Services database containing a cube (or select an existing one): let's call it ASDB1.
2. Make a copy of it on the same server, e.g. by backing up and restoring: let's call it ASDB_Copy
2. Set up an SSIS package with a Connection Manager pointing to ASDB1
3. Create an Analysis Services Processing task, using the Connection Manager, processing any particular SSAS object.
4. Run the package. The SSAS object in ASDB1 is processed (not the object in ASDB_Copy). (Confirm by checking the Last Processed date in SSMS, Properties).
5. Change the Connection Manager's Initial Catalog setting to point to ASDB_Copy.
6. Run the package. The SSAS object in ASDB1 is processed, not the object in ASDB_Copy. The Connection Manager's Initial Catalog setting has no effect on the AS Processing Task. Examining the Code view of the package confirms that the XMLA
behind the task specifies the database as well as the AS object. (and this database setting is still ASDB1).
The fix would be for SSIS to perform validation of AS objects referenced by the AS Processing Task whenever its Connection manager is pointed to a different database, and to update the XMLA accordingly.
Also, it would be useful to be able to see exactly what the objects listed in the Processing Task are. The information shown is just not sufficient to identify the object to the developer. I may have dozens of measure groups with a partition
called Current Month - but "Current Month" is all I can see in the editor, and there's no way to e.g. double-click on an item in the list and get the full object identification (Cube X, measure group Y, partition Current Month). Sure,
I can go and look at the XMLA, but that's fiddly: if there's going to be a wrapper around the XMLA (which is what the AS Processing Task is), then it should be unambiguous.

How to trigger a process task on IT Resource process form

Hi,
I want to know how to trigger a process task on IT resource process form using OIM API.For Example:- If a task ilike an e-mail is to be sent on the departure date of a user.So,how can it be done using API?
Thanks.

This would typically be done through a scheduled task. Write your code to query for the departure date. If someone meets your criteria for an action to occur, you can either use the addProcessTaskInstance which has an adapter attached to it to send the email, or in your code, send the email.
The details that need to be considered though is where the departure date is stored. Is it on a process form, or is it on the user's OIM profile. Do you want to disable the user or revoke the object instance at this departure date? You could use the notification tab of these existing tasks if so.

BPM 11g -- How to find where my instance is in the process

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to programatiically query to find out where my instance is in the process flow;,it could be sitting in an Human Interactive step, might well be waiting to be notified or might be excecuting a business service. I am assuming that the TaskQueryService and TaskService API's only deal with the human ineractive. Which API can I use to achieve this?
Thanks

Cannot open GP process task in universal worklist.

i configure the universal worklist by following this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/ef06a7860c7061e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
I also create a simple GuidedProceduresConnector and doesn't change the xml file,but it doesn't work,either.
our portal is SP11.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you~!

Hello Delma,
Check out SAP note 1104652.    It discusses some changes for the uwl configuration file.   I just did this on a local installation of CE and used the following XML for my GP actions. I just uploaded a paper on this - it should be on SDN within a couple of days and I can get you the link.
The trick is that the name of your GP alias in UWL administration must be included in the XML. The note explains this and there is an example to download. Also, in my example the iView for the portal content to start the GP had to be changed - but that could be due to my local installation.
Check out this note and this XML and let me know if it helps.
Best regards
Ginger
