OIM 11g : User Detail/Attribute (Description) not visible in OIM User screen : EBS / OID / OIM integration

If you integrate Oracle E-Business Suite with Oracle Internet Directory (OID) and Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) (without Oracle EBS connectors) then users from EBS to OID are synced via EBS Provisioning Profile. These user in OID are then synced to OIM using LDAPSync

Note: If you integrate EBS with OID/OIM without EBS connectors then provisioning of EBS Responsibility (entitlements) is not possible via OIM.

When user sync from Oracle E-Business Suite (R12) to Oracle Internet Directory (OID), attributes that gets provisioned from EBS to OID are ( USER_NAME->UID, DESCRIPTION -> DESCRIPTION, EMAIL_ADDRESS -> MAIL, FAX -> FACSIMILETELEPHONENUMBER, END_DATE -> ORCLACTIVEENDDATE, START_DATE -> ORCLACTIVESTARTDATE, START_DATE/END_DATE -> ORCLISENABLED, ENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD -> USERPASSWORD )
