3.5.3 Removing Process Task Adapters from Process Tasks

If a process task adapter is no longer necessary for Oracle Identity Manager to complete the process task automatically, or when you wish to attach a different adapter to a process task, you must first remove the adapter that is attached to the process task. This procedure will show you how to remove a process task adapter from a process task.

3.5.3.1 To Remove a Process Task Adapter from a Process Task

1. Open the Process Definition form. In the Design Console workspace, the Process Definition form appears. 2. Select the process, which contains a task from which you want to remove an adapter for example, the Solaris process. The selected process, along with its tasks, appears in the Process Definition form. 3. Double-click the row header of the process task from which you want to remove the adapter for example, the Password Updated task. The Editing Task window appears, containing information about the process task. Click the Integration tab.

4. Click the Integration tab.

The Integration tab displays information about the adapter that is attached to the process task.

5. Click Remove.

A dialog box appears, asking if you want to remove the adapter from the process task.

6. Click OK.

A dialog box appears, signifying that the adapter has been removed from the process task.

7. Click OK.

The contents of the adapter no longer appear in the Integration tab.

8. On the toolbar, click Close.

The Editing Task window disappears, and the main screen is active once again. The adapter that was once linked to the Password Updated task adpSOLARISPASSWORDUPDATED no longer appears in the child table of the Process Definition form. This signifies that you have removed the adapter from the process task. Tip: Once you attach a process task adapter to a process task, a quick way to see the process and task to which it is connected is by accessing the Usage Lookup tab of the Adapter Factory form.

3.6 Adapter Mapping Information

An adapter is a Java class, generated by the Adapter Factory, which enables Oracle Identity Manager to interact with an external JAR file, a target IT resource for example, a resource asset, or a user-defined form. The Adapter Factory is a code-generation tool provided by Oracle Identity Manager, which enables a User Administrator to create Java classes. An adapter extends the internal logic and functionality of Oracle Identity Manager. It automates process tasks, and defines the rules for the auto-generation and validation of data in fields within Oracle Identity Manager. There are five types of adapters: task assignment adapters, task adapters, rule generator adapters, pre-populate adapters, and entity adapters. The following topics are discussed in this section: ■ Adapter Task Mapping Information ■ Adapter Variable Mapping Information

3.6.1 Adapter Task Mapping Information

An adapter task is one of the several possible components within an adapter. And this is a logical step within an adapter, equivalent to calling a programming language method. The following types of adapter tasks are available: Functional Tasks Java Task, Remote Task, and Stored Procedure Task, Utility Tasks Utility Task and Oracle Identity Manager API Task, and Logic Tasks Set Variable Task and Error Handler Task. This section lists the mappings that you can set for the parameters of an adapter task, in the following topics: ■ Adapter Variables ■ Adapter Task ■ Literal ■ Adapter References ■ Organization Definition ■ Process Definition ■ User Definition

3.6.1.1 Adapter Variables

The following table lists and describes the items of the Map To list box of the Data Mapping for Variable window and the Name list box to which you can map the parameters of an adapter variable for an adapter task.
