Seed Home Organization
This scheduled task evaluates and updates organization data for existing users based on configured Home Organization Policy. For more information, see "Managing Home Organization Policy".
Ensure that Home Organization Policy rule for organization evaluation is configured correctly, and the organization should already exist in Oracle Identity Manager.
This job can be run for environments that are based on LDAP synchronization. For information about LDAP synchronization, see"Enabling LDAP Synchronization in Oracle Identity Manager" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Integration Guide for Oracle Identity Management Suite.
Example scenario for LDAP synchronization: During first time identity data sync from the directory server to Oracle Identity Manager, you want to sync organizations based on a rule, which is based on, say department number. To do so:
  1. Run the User Create/Update Full Reconciliation scheduled job. This creates users with default organizations provided within the job parameter.
  2. Create a home organization rule, and run the Seed Home Organization scheduled job withReset Home Organizationoption as Yes. This overwrites organizations based on the configured rule.
Note: Run the Seed Home Organization scheduled job with Reset Home Organization option as Yes with caution because organizations is overwritten.
Batch Size: Use this attribute to fetch number of entries from the persistent store in each query.
Reset Home Organization: Use this attribute to determine if the organization value of default users are re-evaluated and overwritten. Select one of the following options:
  • No: If the requirement is to set the organization value for users that do not have any value.
  • Yes: If the requirement is to reset the organization value for all users. This re-evaluates and overrides the organization value for all nondefault users. This option re-evaluates the rule for all existing user data and resets the organization value. If you run the scheduled job with this option selected, then data is overwritten. The No option is the default for this scheduled job.
No

Update Accounts with App Instance Job
This scheduled task is used to ensure that application instance keys are populated for all entries in the OIU table.
In some instances, the application instance might not be available when the account is provisioned. This is possible when:
  • Oracle Identity Manager is upgraded, when app_instance_key is to be populated for all the existing entries in the OIU table.
  • Accounts are brought in via reconciliation, but the application instances are not available when the accounts are reconciled. The application instances are created after the reconciliation.
  • Accounts are provisioned via access policies, but the application instances are not available when the accounts are provisioned. The application instances are created after the provisioning.
The Update Accounts with App Instance Job scheduled task checks all the entries in the OIU table corresponding to the resource objects that have a null app_instance_key. It attempts to determine the application instance key based on the obj_key and the IT Resource instance value in the process form. If the scheduled task finds an application instance corresponding to the obj_key and IT resource instance value, then it updates the app_instance_key in the OIU table.
None
Yes
User Operations
This scheduled task performs the operation specified by the UserOperation attribute on the user account specified by the UserLogin attribute.
  • UserLogin: User ID of the user account.
