Xellerate Provisioning of Oracle Users

Question

I am having a problem when i am trying to provisioning a user account to oracle db. After entering the required information and giving the user a database role of 'DBA', the user creation process completes successfully. However, when i try to login to oracle using the user account and password, it gives me a oracle invalid login and password error?
can someone provide me with some information where to look at for this problematic behavior?
Also, I want to include some email notification to the DB account user on approval and also to the administrators for provisioning related activities? Can someone point me to any documentation on how to do email notifications in OIM?
This is a client requirement and some quick help will be really helpful.

Answer 1

Couple of questions before I can exactly answer your query:
1.) Did you write a custom connector to create a user in oracle ? If yes, Are you catching the exceptions in your code? Usually insufficient privileges (by bind username and password for IT resource) is the issue for non-creation of accounts in oracle. If you are using thin client
Is it of the format : create user p identified by x;
where p & x are your variables ?
2.) To integrate a pre-populated values there are 2 ways:
a.) Give a default value on your form (but the problem is that everybody will have the same values)....which can be changed at your object form level.
b.) If you need to create a pre-populate adapter, go to adapter factory and create one adapter of type pre-populate. You may create a varaiable called value and in the utility task - create the step as set value=return value,
c.) Use this pre-populate task to take the value from your object form and sink it into Process Definition. And then run your custom connector.
3.) To check if your code is giving errors, you may change log level to debug and then check your console.log file to see if any error occurs.
4.) To put an email definition: You need to create a email definition and then go to your task in Process definition and jump to Notification Tab. Select your email there and register it with a Return Code of Success or Failure. That should work it out. You may include requestor information or manager information in your email by the combo box given in the definition screen.
5,) There should be no need to change a password before trying it through sql plus. It should work directly if a create user statement has been executed properly.
Hope this helps.
