Users are not propagating from custom container of OID to EBS R12.1.3 !!
- What was requirement
- The requirement was like this, we have users who will access OBIEE and EBS applications and some users will use both applications.
- At this point I got stuck, when I integrate OID with MSAD, all users of the AD are getting populated in Users container and in turn user getting created in EBS fnd_user, if the user is related to OBIEE then it shouldn’t create in fnd_user of EBS.
- So, OBIEE users are also getting created in EBS fnd_user, which I don’t want, so, want to create one custom container for EBS users, and for OBIEE users let it come to Users container in OID.
- What issues I encountered
- So, now to populate users from AD who will access EBS application only, I have extended AD with one custom attribute called ebscustom, based on this custom attribute, given in synchronization profile of DIP able to populate EBS users in cn=ebsusers,dc=hussain,dc=net.
- Now, here actual issue raised, from cn=ebsusers,dc=hussain,dc=net the users are not getting provisioned to EBS fnd_user from OID, as my provision type is 4.
- But when I populate EBS users to cn=Users,dc=hussain,dc=net then able to provision users from OID to EBS fnd_users, but not able to provision from cn=ebusers,dc=hussain,dc=net to EBS fnd_user.
- So, decided to enable debug on DIP and also EBS, after enabling debug I got the issue error from DIP log as
———-NEW EVENT STATUS ——————–
Event ID : 84659
Object GUID : null
Error Code : -1400
Error String : ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into (“APPLSYS”.”WF_ATTRIBUTE_CACHE”.”ENTITY_KEY_VALUE”)
Error Disp : EVENT_ERROR
]]
- What I did to fix it
- After this when I searched in the knowledge base of Oracle support I found it as BUG, but related to this BUG there is no patches or solution.
Bug 5001589 : ORA-01400: CANNOT INSERT NULL INTO “APPLSYS”.”WF_ATTRIBUTE_CACHE”.”ENTITY_KEY_VA
- So, after checking with Oracle Support, came to know that provisioning of users from OID to EBS is looking only for container cn=Users,dc=hussain,dc=net.
- How I came to know that it’s looking for only Users container is, from attribute orclCommonUserSearchBase, you can found that in cn=common,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext,dc=hussain,dc=net, So, now I have to add the cn=ebsusers,dc=hussain,dc=net in that attribute to replicate the user from this custom container.
- After this change, able to propagate users from ebsusers container of OID to EBS fnd_user.
