Error with OIM 10g Custom Reports: RESOLVED

I spend over a day starting at the reasons why I was getting this error when I was creating OIM 10g custom reports. When I put in a query, I would be presented with a white (blank) screen.

As you can see, when you click submit, Oracle identity will go to the reports.do URL though a blank screen will be repsented

Solution

The error is not to do with the input, but in fact the return values of the query. I can think of 2 possible reasons:

1.Check if your SQL query is pulling the same number of columns as your return column.
If you carefully review this Oracle post, you can see the individual has Contractor_Id and USR_STATUS return values within his report though both are missing from his SQL query within his store procedure.

https://technicalconfessions.com/images/postimages/postimages/_71_5_Check return values within store procedure.png

2. Make sure the naming convention of the return values EXACTLY matching your SQL query from within your store procedure
As you can see from this picture, I have taken a snippet of the SQL query and confirmed they match the returning report values.

If you review back to the logs, you will see something similar displaying a load of values

where upper(lku_field) in ('USER_LOGIN', 'FIRST_NAME', 'LAST_NAME', 'ACCESS_LEVEL', 'RESOURCE_STATUS', 'RNUM') and lku_type='f'

These values correspond to the return values from within the report, these values must also be within your store procedure, as demonstrated from the image.


PLS-00201: identifier 'XL_SPG_GETPAGINGSQL' must be declared

https://technicalconfessions.com/images/postimages/postimages/_71_6_A system error has encounted when executing a report.png

This means that the user (xelsysadm) cannot see the store procedure. When you execute the 'create or replace' store procedure, make sure you are executing this as xelsysadm within the sqldeveloper, not with an individual like sys or sysadm.

HOW TO provision AD group membership from OpenIDM

OpenIDMICFAD-connector

June 15, 2018
Created by: Daniel Redfern
For what I see, there's not too many supportive documentations out there that will demonstrate how provision AD group membership with the ICF connector using OpenIDM. The use of the special ldapGroups attribute is not explained anywhere in the Integrators guides to to the date of this blog. This quick blog identifies the tasks required to provision AD group membership from OpenIDM to AD using the LDAP ICF connector. However this doesn't really explain what ldapGroups actually does and there's no real worked example of how to go from an Assignment to ldapGroups to an assigned group in AD. I wrote up a wiki article for my own reference: AD group memberships automatically to users This is just my view, others may disagree, but I think the implementation experience could be improved with some more documentation and a more detailed example here.
