Application Server and JVM Support

Upgrading Oracle Identity Manager Environment 13-5 ■ Approval processes associated with organization provisioning are not upgraded as part of the middle tier upgrade. Request-based organization provisioning is not supported in Oracle Identity Manager 11g. ■ Approval policies that are created during the upgrade will always be associated with DefaultOperationalApproval. Workflow upgrade report will specify this information. ■ E-mail templates associated with approval processes will not be migrated to SOA composites. For more information, see Task 14: Complete Any Required Oracle Identity Manager Post-Upgrade Tasks . The Approval process is partially upgraded if: ■ Event handlers or adapters are associated with System Validation and provide Information tasks. ■ Task information is used in creating the task assignment rule. ■ Process information is used in framing the task assignment rule with attributes, such as Process Name and Process Type. ■ Task of the approval process is associated with the Task Assignment Adapter or Event Handler or Process Task Adapter.

13.1.7 Scheduled Tasks

After upgrade, all scheduled tasks are migrated automatically to the Oracle Identity Manager 11g Scheduled Tasks and Jobs. For more information, see Managing Scheduled Tasks in the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrators Guide for Oracle Identity Manager. The content of the Oracle Identity Manager 9.1 Job History will be obsolete after you upgrade to Oracle Identity Manager 11g.

13.1.8 User Interfaces Customization

In Oracle Identity Manager 9.1 you can customize the following components of your Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console: ■ General page layout ■ Descriptive text, labels, and error messages ■ Colors, fonts, and alignment ■ Logos ■ Self-registration, user initiated profile editing, and related approvals ■ Field configuration on pages ■ Menu selections that are available to users Oracle Identity Manager 11g upgrade process does not retain the above customizations done in Oracle Identity Manager 9.1 environment. You must recreate user interface customizations after you upgrade to Oracle Identity Manager 11g. If the Note: Oracle recommends you to reuse similar SOA composites as approval processes for different resources. 13-6 Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Identity Management user interface is an ADF-based page, then the user interface customization needs to done using ADF Faces technology. Transitional-UI-based pages can be customized using the same Oracle Identity Manager 9.1 Struts-based technology. For more information on user interface customizations, see Customizing Oracle Identity Manager Interfacesrefer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Identity Manager.

13.1.9 Object Forms

As part of the upgrade process, all the object forms are converted to request datasets. The dataflow mappings are also migrated to request datasets. After upgrading to Oracle Identity Manager 11g you must reattach a prepopulate adapter to a form field. For more information, see Rewriting Prepopulate Adapters .

13.1.10 Prepopulate Adapters

Prepopulate adapters attached to Oracle Identity Manager 9.1 Object Forms should be converted or re-implemented as prepopulate plug-ins in Oracle Identity Manager 11g. For Process Forms, the prepopulate adapters work similarly to how Prepopulate adapters worked in Oracle Identity Manager 9.1. After upgrade you must complete the steps described in Rewriting Prepopulate Adapters .

13.1.11 Task Assignment Adapters

Task Assignment adapters associated with approval tasks are not upgraded. The task assignment logic of approval tasks that correspond to approval processes should be re-written as SOA composites. For more information, see Using Generated SOA Composite as Approval Process .

13.1.12 Event Handlers

In Oracle Identity Manager 9.1, event handlers provided the capability to add various customizations on a certain data object life cycle events like Insert, Update, or Delete using Data Object Manager in the Design Console. In Oracle Identity Manager 11g, User Management, Role Management and Request have been redesigned to use the Orchestration Framework where you can define various event handlers for life cycle management events like Create, Update, or Delete. The orchestration framework also provides the capability for event handlers to be executed in either a synchronous or asynchronous fashion. Table 13–3 shows the mapping for Role entity. Similar mapping will also be applicable for User and Request entities. Notes: ■ Visible menu items cannot be customized by changing menu permissions. ■ User Defined Fields request form are not upgraded to Oracle Identity Manager 11g.
