In Oracle Xellerate, identity reconciliation is done with Scheduler Tasks --Java classes launched at a certain time to start the reconciliation.
Unfortunately there is no tool to launch a Scheduler Task from the command-line, which is helpful in development.
So I wrote my own tool.
Running
This tool runs on the Xellerate Server. The Xellerate Server directory, for example C:/oracle/xellerate
, is denoted by ${xl.home}
below.
First create a directory "RunSchedulerTask" and then copy these files (source code below)
- "RunSchedulerTask.java"
- "build.xml"
To run, simply open a command-line prompt, change directory to RunSchedulerTask, and run ant:
${xl.home}/ant/bin/ant.bat run -Dxl.home="${xl.home}" -Dargs="<classname> <username> <password> <task-file.properties>"
Where
- classname is the full classname of the scheduler task to run
- username is the Xellerate login (eg xelsysadm)
- password is the login password (eg xelsysadm)
- task-file.properties is the properties file containing the Scheduler Task attributes
Example
To run the AD Group Lookup reconciliation:
Create a Task attributes file "ADGroupLookupRecon.properties" and add the following lines:
Server=MyActiveDirectoryServerItResourceInstance
LookupCodeName=Lookup.ADReconliation.GroupLookup
Run Ant ${xl.home}/ant/bin/ant.bat run -Dxl.home="${xl.home}" -Dargs="com.thortech.xl.schedule.tasks.ADGroupLookupReconTask xelsysadm xelsysadm ADGroupLookupRecon.properties"
RunSchedulerTask.java
build.xml
