OIC - New Features


Asserter to store the run results and can be used to replay the request. 

Oracle OIC agent framework uses OIC messaging channel , Oracle SaaS agent and one or more connectivity agents.

Agents polls for outbound invocations. It also support triggers configured with Agents. 

One Agent is enough to connect with all your on premise applications.  We dont need to have multiple agents for each connection.

Oracle Fusion - User Creation or Migration and Role Provisioning

Oracle Fusion Users can be originated in Fusion Application where in users are created in Fusion (Security Console) or can be provisioned from identity providers like IDCS to Fusion Application. 

In case users are originating at IDCS and then provisioned or synced with Fusion Application then it is required  to setup SSO application in IDCS and enable User Sync from IDCS to FA. 

It is required to configure Auto Role Provisioning to all the users and assign Employee role or Contingent worker role to User.  It will assign a default role to user when an User account is created in Fusion. 

In case users are not assigned with any role and by chance if you run a seeded job - "Send Pending LDAP Request"  or if it gets kicked off due to some other sync job like Role Assignment then it will remove the users which are not assigned with any roles.  

"Send Pending LDAP Request" job will perform following tasks. 

  • Create , Suspend and Reactivate User Accounts. 
  • User create will be triggered when Person record is created for a Worker. 
  • User will be suspended when roles are removed from a User. 
  • User will be Reactivated when a User will be rehired. 

Note: These jobs will triggered when automatic user creation and management is enabled in Fusion. 

It is not required to run this Job if the user is created manually or synced from IDCS.  It is required only if we need to create user automatically using Employee records. 

Enable Auto Creation and Management :  FA > Setup and Maintenance > Manager Enterprise HCM Information > Edit and Set > User Account Creation as - Both Person and Party User.
