Creating and Executing Generic Technology Connector

GTC
Generic Technology Connector
Generic technology connector acts as the bridge for reconciliation and provisioning operations between Oracle Identity Manager and a target system. In terms of functionality, a generic technology connector can be divided into a reconciliat

ion module and provisioning module. When you create a generic technology connector, you can specify whether you want to include both modules or only the reconciliation or provisioning module.



Requirements for creating a GTC.
Flat file or DBAT Connector( basically a DB table with user data)
Eg of flat file:
    #GTC Trusted Source
    login,firstName,lastName,eMail,organization,User Type,Employee Type
    TESTUSER200,TESTUSER200,TESTUSER200,TESTUSER200@oracle.com,Xellerate Users,End-User,Full-Time

Points to note in the above flat file

•     First line should be a comment
•     Second line is attributes.
•     Third line onwards is the data.
•     Can add as many lines as you want
•     Create the above flat file in /parent directory

    Eg../scratch/<username>/parent in the Linux Box.
    Create another directory /scratch/<username>/archive
   
Creating GTC in OIM
Login to OIM http://<host>:<port>/sysadmin
Generic Connector
     Configuration -> Create Generic Connector
        Name : testgtc1
        Select Reconciliation
        Transport Provider : Shared Drive ( Default, if   DBAT Connector is installed, then it’ll show another option.
       Format Provider : csv
      Enable Trusted Reconcilation.


 



Staging Directory (Parent identity data) :
     /scratch/<username>/parent
Archiving Directory : /scratch/<username>/archive
File Prefix : test4 – File name
Specified Delimiter : ,
File Encoding : Cp1251
Reconciliation Type : Full

  



Map the attributes by selecting the mapping variables on the right most column.
Eg . Login → User Login
        firstname → FirstName 

 

Once the GTC is created, a schedule task is  also created, like TEST_GTC.
Upon running the schedule task, users in  flat file are created in OIM.



Sample File Generator Script :

echo "Generate user script"
for i in $(seq 400000);
    do
        echo "ArushiB$i,B$i,Arushi$i,ArushiB$i@abc.com,Xellerate Users,manager" >> UserFile.csv
done;
echo "Completed"

Sample File format :

#GTC Trusted Source
login,firstname,lastname,email,organizaion,manager
User11,Value1,User1,User1@oracle.com,Xellerate Users,manager
User22,Value2,User2,User2@oracle.com,Xellerate Users,manager
User33,Value3,User3,User3@oracle.com,Xellerate Users,manager
User44,Value4,User4,User4@oracle.com,Xellerate Users,manager
