  I created the required steps to create a trusted Reconciliation and posted this on youtube back later 2012. I was just tired on following the Oracle documentation without them proof reading and making sure it works correctly. To counter this lazy approach that Oracle makes, I decided to make a video on this.

Starting up OIM managed server: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

  Most people you will come across understand that the java arguments -ms, -mx, PermSize, MaxPermSize etc. need to be set in order for there to be sufficient java memory allocation for Oracle Identity Manager 11g to run. OIM 11g compared to OIM 10g requires a tremendous amount of java allocation. More often than not, when you're running your job schedulers, process forms, or even starting up the system, you may experience "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space". No worries, here are the simple steps to resolve the issue.

OIM OIA Integration issue: Unable to get current Data Collection Session ID

Minimal Weblogic memory allocation for OIM 11gR2PS2

  I could not locate the absolute memory allocation for the Weblogic managed servers for OIM and SOA. Allocating the maximum allocation pool (-Xmx), heap size, does not allocate the total RAM memory to the Weblogic managed servers. Items outside the realms of the maximum allocations poll, such as thread stacks, perm sizes, and library memory allocations also need to be considered.

Starting up SOA - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

  It's likely that you've either run out of memory, or that the heap size allocated is insufficient

OIM AD Issue - javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake

  Despite that the vague error, Remote host closed connection during handshake, maybe a result of multitude of possible reasons, the reason why this is occurring is because the remove client is dropping the connection. I notice this issue once the WLS admin was restarted after the schedule task became unresponsive and remaining in the Interrupt status despite that I bounced the WLS managed server.

OIM AD 11g Issue - The server does not support the requested critical extension

  The critical extension is the setting within you Active Directory when you're reconciling or provisioning using SSL.
