With the anticipated releases of the first products based upon Oracle Utilities Application Framework V4.3.0.5.0 starting to appear soon, the first set of whitepapers have to been updated to reflect new functionality, updated functionality and experiences from the field and our Oracle Utilities cloud implementations.
The following whitepapers have been updated and are now available from My Oracle Support:
- ConfigTools Best Practices (Doc Id: 1929040.1) - This has been updated with the latest advice from our implementations and cloud teams. There are a few new sections around Groovy and a new section which highlights the ability to write batch programs using the Plug-In Batch architecture. In Oracle Utilities Application Framework 4.3.0.5.0, we add the capability to implement File Import functionality using Groovy in our Plug-In Batch. We provide a mechanism to support Delimited, Fixed or XML based files within the algorithms. Samples of each are supplied in the product.
- Identity Management Suite Integration (Doc Id: 1375600.1) - This whitepaper has been greatly simplified to reflect the latest Oracle Identity Management Suite changes and the newer interface that has been migrated from XAI to IWS. The new interface as two new algorithms which are used in our cloud implementations and are now part of the F1-IDMUser object supplied with the product.
- Generation of Authorization Identifier - The F1-IDMUser object now supports the ability to generate the unique authorization identifier (the 8 character one) if the identifier is not provisioned from Oracle Identity Manager itself. This provides some flexibility of where this identifier can be provisioned as part of the Oracle Identity Manager solution. In the past the only place this was available was within Oracle Identity Manager itself. This enhancement means that the user can be provisioned from Oracle Identity Manager or part of the Identity Management interface to Oracle Utilities Application Framework.
- Duplication of User now supported within interface - In past releases the use of template users was a common way of quickly provisioning users. This release also allows the duplication function within the User Object to be used in isolation or in conjunction with template users for more flexible options in provisioning. If this method is used, a characteristic is added to the duplicated user to indicate it was duplicated from another user (for auditing purposes).
As we get closer to release of products using Oracle Utilities Application Framework 4.3.0.5.0 you will see more and more updated whitepapers to reflect the new and improved changes in the releases.
