OIM EBS User Management : eBusiness UM Lookup Definition Reconciliation failed with Invalid Schedule Task Parameter

This post is from our demo environment to configure Segregation of Duties (SoD) in Oracle eBusiness Suite (R12) using GRC/OAACG/OIM. Contact Us if you are interested in demo of GRC/OAACG/OIM/EBS integration for SoD.

I discussed about Oracle EBS (R12/11i) integration with Oracle Identity Manager(OIM) here, and two type of connectors available for EBS integration are

a) EBS UM Connector : User Management to provisioning Accounts in EBS (FND_USER)

b) EBS ER Connector : Employee Reconciliation to create users in OIM from EBS EMployee record (PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F).

Before EBS Responsibility (treated as entitlement in OIM) can be provisioned via OIM, these responsibility must be visible in OIM as lookup. Schedule Job lookup of EBS Responsibility fethches these responsibility from EBS and store them as lookup in OIM. In this post I am going to share an issue I encountered in EBS-UM connector while running schedule job  lookup of EBS Responsibility.

Schedule job failed with error in OIM logs as

Fix is to populate two parameters of scheduled job (IT Resource Name and Query Property File)

This schedule job uses a properties file ebsUMLookupQuery.properties (that comes as part of EBS-UM connector).  This properties file has entry like below to get list of all the responsibility in EBS

____

Lookup.EBS.Application=SELECT fa.application_id AS CODE, fa.application_short_name AS DECODE FROM fnd_application fa

Lookup.EBS.UMX.Roles=SELECT (CONCAT(fa.application_id || ‘~’, b.name)) AS CODE, (b.display_name) AS DECODE FROM fnd_application fa, wf_local_roles b WHERE b.orig_system = ‘UMX’ AND b.status = ‘ACTIVE’ AND fa.application_short_name = b.owner_tag

Lookup.EBS.Responsibility=SELECT (CONCAT(fa.application_id || ‘~’, fr.responsibility_id)) AS CODE, fr.responsibility_name AS DECODE FROM fnd_application fa, fnd_responsibility_tl fr WHERE fa.application_id = fr.application_id

Lookup.EBS.SecurityGroup=SELECT security_group_id AS CODE, security_group_key AS DECODE FROM fnd_security_groups
