How to configure Disconnected Resource in OIM PS3


Disconnected Resource

Disconnected resources are targets for which there is no connector. Therefore, the provisioning fulfillment for disconnected resources is not automated, but manual.
In earlier releases of Oracle Identity Manager, disconnected provisioning is not supported as a first class use case, it is supported by using manual tasks in the provisioning process. This approach has a number of limitations, which are taken care in Disconnected Resources model.
 In Oracle Identity Manager 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0), disconnected resources are an enhanced configuration for manual provisioning that leverage SOA integration to provide higher flexibility and configurability of the manual provisioning workflow

How to add a custom attribute to create user page in OIM PS3


When you create a UDF, it is created only in the back-end, and is not available in the page for use on which you want it to be displayed.

Note:
·        Adding a custom attribute is always in relation to one of the following entities: User, Organization, Role, or Catalog.
·        When catalog UDFs are customized to show in the first page of the Create Role wizard, they are also shown in the summary page of the wizard. But when role UDFs are customized to show in first page of the Create Role wizard, they are not shown in the summary page of the wizard. The summary page must be separately customized for these role UDFs to be displayed.

To display a UDF in a page in Oracle Identity Self Service

Creating Custom UDF

Log in to Oracle Identity System Administration.

Create and activate a sandbox


Click the component under System Entities on the left navigation pane of Identity System Administration
In the Custom section of the Fields tab, click the Create icon. The Select Field Type dialog box is display

The UDF is added to User form and close Manage User 

Go back to Sandbox and Publish the Sandbox. Take the export of the sandbox for further use.


After adding a UDF through the User form, logout of both Oracle Identity System Administration and Oracle Identity Self Service, and then login again to be able to see the newly added UDF and use it for customization.

On the Display Options tab:
  Select Auto Submit.
    If you have added the UDF on the user form, then in the Value Change Listener field, enter
         #{pageFlowScope.cartDetailStateBean.attributeValueChangedListener}.
If you have added the UDF on a form other than the user form, then copy the value of the Value Change Listener field from any of the existing fields on the form and paste it as the value of the Value Change Listener field for the newly added UDF
Here are some more properties that you can add based on requirement
 If you want to mark this attribute as mandatory, then change the Required and Show Required properties to true. To set the Show Required property, select the Show Required option. In the Required field, select Expression Editor, and in the Expression Editor field, enter the value as true.
 If you want to display this attribute as read-only, then select the checkbox for the Read Only property.
If you want to bind this attribute to a custom-managed bean method, then change the Value property.
The custom-managed bean method must include a call to the original method binding. For more information
   Click OK.
    Click Close to leave customization mode.
 It is recommended that you export the sandbox, in case if you intend to move the change from test to production environment. 
Publish the sandbox. For detailed instructions on publishing a sandbox,
Remove UDF 
To remove a UDF, you can use the customization mode to open the WebCenter Composer. In the customization mode, select the component or UDF that you want to remove, and then delete it or set the rendered property on that UDF to false.
