Part VII : Install & Configure OIM Design Console : #OracleIdM 11g : Step by Step Installation of OAM, OIM, OAAM, OAPM, OIN

Hi Atul,

Do you have steps to enable the logging in OIM 11g? I tried to enable by changing the log.properties but it didn’t work. Later I found the entry “-Dlog4j.configuration=
XL_Home/config/log.properties” was missing in the JAVA_OPTIONS. Even after adding this entry no use.

Thanks in advance.

@ Goverdhan,

In OIM 11g there are two tyoe of logging service

1) ODL – Oracle Diagnostic Logging (used mainly for OIM)
2) log4j – (used mainly for third party application used with OIM like Nexaweb, WF Designer ..

1) For ODL configure logger and log handler by editing logging.xml in $DOMAIN_NAME/config/fmwconfig/servers/SERVER_NAME/logging.xml

s) For log4j – configure them in $OIM_HOME/config/log.properties

Where OIM_HOME is MW_HOME/server

@ Abhinay,
Please paste just error message from OIM server logs.

Which script you are using to start OIM server ? Did you configure OIM before starting services ?

What is your windows version ?

Hi Atul,

Did OIM design console(11g) works on Oracle Enterprise linux works or not?

Thanks & Regards
suresh

@ suresh,
No design console (11g) is not certified on Linux .

Hi Atul,

I am trying to invoke SPML webservice for adding a user in OIM11g. Can you please help in doing the same. I have no idea of how to configure the webservice and also OIM to get this work.

Do you have any steps to follow? any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
rag

@ragbez,
Did you look at this link for using SPML http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14309/spmlapi.htm#OMDEV701

Hi Atul,

I have had a look at the document you have mentioned. But it does say anything about how to deploy the SPML web service to use with OIM11g.

it would be great if any samples can be provided for this.

Thanks.

Atul,

Thanks for the information. Very useful.

Within OIM I have created a new user called “oimadmin” and assigned it the ‘SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS’ role. This is the only role that is assigned to xelsysadm also. Now why does Design Console not work with my user id but it does work with xelxsysadm?

Hi Atul.

I installed the OIM 11.1.1.5 in RHEL 64 bit env. All installation was successful. However when I tried to install the Design Console in Windows environment it’s asking for Middleware Home and the Oracle Home Directory.

I tried to follow the steps as you mentioned above and I am not getting the warning as you mentioned above “If you install Oracle IDAM 11.1.1.3 without weblogic server, you will get warning like below (click Yes when prompted)”. Any help will be appreciated.

@ Viraf, I have not tried this on 11.1.1.1.5 yet and this may have been fixed . Please continue and update if you hit any error

.
If you are using the 11.1.1.5 installation to install OIM-DC, then you will most likely hit Bug #12629965, as shown in Note ID 1331318.1.

The solution is to “pre-create” the IDM Home directory and add a dummy file (e.g. do not attempt to install in an empty).

c:> md \oracle\product\idm
c:> echo “” > \oracle\product\idm\dummy

Once complete, then restart the installation and continue as normal.

Looking at the xlconfig.xml there is java.naming provider that points back to the Weblogic Server is this held in.

msidba, did you check this blog for your error. http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2010/06/24/daelogon_denied-error-while-logging-to-oim-client/

@ MSIDBA, is this 9.1.X design console or 11g design console ?

Another reason for error message could be because of wrong username/password used in design console

Hi Atul,

I am sure it’s the password is wrong so how would I reset this is held within the xlconfig.xml file I see the below pointing to the container within Weblogic.

Thank you Atul. This post helped to install and configure OIM design console. Thank you so much. But one thing I noticed that you have mentioned “OIM Design Console is supported only on Windows Machine”. I was little disappointed that I may not be able to get it done in Linux. But I tried as per your instructions and it is working in Linux too.

thanks
Jyothi.
