Creating Scheduler in OIM

OIM exposes scheduler APIs to perform long running tasks which may include huge data exchange, data processing which can be triggered periodically or on demand without any code changes.
Steps to create scheduler
  1. Create a Java class extending iam.scheduler.vo.TaskSupport.
  2. Override following methods
public void execute(HashMap attr) throws Exception {
final String USER_NAME = “User Name”;
final String USER_PASSWORD = “Password”;
                final String userName = (String) attrs.get(USER_NAME);
                final String password = (String) attrs.get(USER_PASSWORD);
                //business logic
}
                public HashMap getAttributes() {        return null;          }
                public void setAttributes() {        }
  1. Write business logic in the execute method
  2. Create plugin.xml
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
                <plugins pluginpoint=”oracle.iam.scheduler.vo.TaskSupport”>
                                <plugin pluginclass=”fully qualified class name of scheduler”
                                                version=”1.0.1″ name=”scheduler element”>
                                </plugin>
                </plugins>
</oimplugins>
  1. Crete metadata.xml
<?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’UTF-8′?>
                <task>
                                <name>task name of scheduler</name>
                                <class>fully qualified class name of class that extends TaskSupport</class>
                                <description>Schduler Description</description>
                                <retry>5</retry>
                                <parameters>
<string-param required=”true” encrypted=”false”
                                                                helptext=”User Name “>User Name</string-param>
                                                <string-param required=”true” encrypted=”false”
                                                                helptext=”Email “>Email</string-param>
                                </parameters>
                </task>
</scheduledTasks>
Create a plugin zip and register it using OIM plugin utility or via APIs.
After plugin registration go to sysadmin console and click on scheduler.
Then click on + to create new schedule job by selecting the task name as mentioned in XML file.
And set the other parameters as per your requirements.
This will create a schedule job for your scheduled task.
Running this scheduler will execute your custom scheduler code.

Understanding of Scheduler and its related artifacts this can be read here . Lets Start: Many a times we face challenges while working with scheduler in OIM. These challenges can be listed as follows: Plugin registration is completed successfully, but still metadata file is not present in mds. Plugin registration is completed successfully, Unable to find metadata file to create scheduled Job. Plugin registration is completed successfully, metadata file also present and scheduled job is also created but its failing and throwing NullPointerException. Plugin registration is completed successfully, but unable to find jar and metadata. and so on.... do let me know if you face any issue other than these: To troubleshoot this here are the steps you should check for: Plugin registration nee...

Using While Loop in SOA BPEL

Image
Objective of this Post: In this post I will be focusing on the Looping construct “While” which is most commonly used by most programming language. Here we are also going to use simple Java Embedding Activity which allows us to write and execute java code from with in the SOA composite. Prerequisite:  You must have a simple composite like  HelloWorldSOAComposite. Lets Achieve this: We need to follow the steps below to achieve our objective. Open the bpel file in Jdeveloper Add new variable “count” by clicking on   from the top bar.This will open the following window.            Click on Variables and then click on  icon. This will launch another window as follows: Enter variable name as count select type as int click on OK. This will create a global variable count with xsd type int.  Click on close.Now double click on assign Activity.Here we will assign the value to count variable as 5. Click on OK. Click on O...

Using OIMService API for raising request

With the latest R2PS2 release OIMService API is been provided to raise any kind of request in OIM. It is a simple yet powerful API with single method which can generate any kind of request. It uses Android’s Intent concept to let the framework decide what to do at runtime by exposing following method. OperationResult   doOperation(RequestData requestData,OIMService.Intent intent) Invoking  doOperation  method will result into either request creation or direct operation based on the Intent passed. The intent value can be “ ANY “, “ REQUEST ” or  “ DIRECT “. If Intent is “ ANY “, operation will result in to either request or direct based on authorization of logged-in user. If Intent is “ REQUEST “, a request will be created for the operation. If Intent is “ DIRECT “, operation will be performed immediately, subject to authorization of logged-in user. Very important aspect of using entity key for entitlement is as follows: If you are working on g...
