Problem :
How to use FVCUtil(Form Version Control Utility) in OIM for newer version of form to work for users which are already provisioned with that resource object.


Solution :OIM have “Form Version Control Utility” (FVCUtil) utility to deal with this. By the help of FVCUtil, newer version of form will work for existing users(i.e: users those are already provisioned with the old .

Run the fvcutil.cmd for this but need to make sure \fvc.properties file should be properly configured then only changes will be reflect.

Important question Object form versus Process form { Object form in 11g Replaced by Request Data Set}

The basics are that a Process form is attached to a process, such as a provisioning process, and an object form is attached to a resource object. When a provisioning process has been initiated that form is required data.However, if a request, either a self-request or a request from some manager or admin, is initiated, then it is not yet a provisioning process and is only a request. In this case, a request for a
object form, if there is one. Once the required information for the request has been input, and if there are approvals then those must also be completed, then it triggers some provisioning
provisioning process then triggers it's attached process form (if needed) and completes the provisioning.

Whats is the Structure for OIM objects and their relationship ?


1. Resource Object

2. IT Resource

3. User defined adapters for create / update / delete operations.

4. Resource Process Form associated with Resource Object.

5. Process Definition associated with Resource Object and Rsource Process form.

6. Process Definition have tasks for each process form fields.These are tasks associated with above created adapters.

Adapter's again { Most imp functions of OIM } : Refer Tool reference guide for more details :

There are five types of adapters:


■ A process task adapter, which allows Oracle Identity Manager to automate the

completion of a process task.

■ A task assignment adapter, which enables Oracle Identity Manager to automate

the assignment of a process task to a user or group.

■ A rule generator, which incorporates business rules to the fields of either an Oracle

Identity Manager form or a user-defined form (created using the Form Designer

form), so these fields can be populated automatically and saved to the Oracle

Identity Manager database.

■ A pre-populate adapter, which is a specific type of rule generator adapter that can

be attached to a user-created form field. The data generated by this type of adapter

can appear either automatically or manually. In addition, it uses criteria that

enable Oracle Identity Manager to determine which pre-populate adapter will be

applied to the designated form field. It then populates the designated form field

without saving this information to the Oracle Identity Manager database.

■ An entity adapter, which is attached to an Oracle Identity Manager or user-created

form field. Oracle Identity Manager triggers an entity adapter on pre-insert,

pre-update, pre-delete, post-insert, post-update, or post-delete. Once this occurs,

the field to which the adapter is attached is populated automatically and saved to

the Oracle Identity Manager database.
