Table 22-2 Predefined Scheduled Tasks
Job Name | Description | User-Configurable Attributes | Enabled By Default |
---|---|---|---|
Application Instance Post Delete Processing Job |
This scheduled task is used to revoke, delete, or decommision applicaion instances that have been soft-deleted. It can be run in the following modes:
|
None |
Yes |
Application Bulk Create |
This scheduled task is used to seed Application and Instance Application in bulk. There is no default job for this scheduled task however, you can create job using this task.You need to provide directory path of list of Application and Instance Application Template. Template will be processed as per below convention:
|
Template Directory and Archive Directory |
Yes |
Application Template Generation Job |
This scheduled task is used to generate the template for applications that are created through connector installer or if there is a upgrade. The generated templates are stored in internal database table, which is used to manage the application from Application Tab in Identity Self Service. Note: For authoritative applications, create an application instance using API and then use this job to generate the template. |
Application Names: A list of comma separated application instance names for which templates have to be generated. Generate in Bulk: If set to Yes, template is generated for all application instances which are not Deleted. If Generate in Bulk is set to Yes, then Application Names should not be set. Default value is No. |

Attestation Grace Period Expiry Checker |
This scheduled task delegates the attestation process after the grace period expires. |
None |
Yes |
Automated Retry of Failed Async Task |
This scheduled task retries Async Tasks (JMS Messages) that have failed. If the execution of the task succeeds, it is removed from the list of failed tasks. If it fails, the retry count is incremented. The maximum number of times a Failed Task is retried is determined by the 'maxRetries' defined for that task in async-messaging.xml. |
None |
Yes |
Automatically Unlock User |
This scheduled task automatically unlocks a user after the specified number of days. This job supports job frequency in days, minutes, and hours. As password policy in supports lockout duration in minutes, It is recommended to keep the frequency of this scheduled job in minutes. |
None |

Bulk Load Archival Job |
This scheduled task cleans up the processed entries in the Oracle Identity Manager Database staging tables used during bulk load post processing. |
|
No |
Bulk Load Post Process |

Mode: The Catalog Synchronization Job scheduled job can be run in the following modes:
|
Yes |
Certification Event Trigger Job |
This scheduled task is responsible for running event listeners against the set of user modification events that have occurred in the system. All event listeners will be executed by default if none are listed in the Event Listener Name List parameter. See Configuring Event Listeners and Certification Event Trigger Jobs in Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance for more information. |
Event Listener Name List: This is a comma-separated list of event listeners to be evaluated. If no value if specified for this attribute, then all event listeners will be evaluated. |
No |
Certification Maintenance Job | This job populates the required data for pre-upgrade certifications. If you are using an upgraded deployment of Oracle Identity Manager, then run this job to access certifications from Certification Dashboard UI.
See Accessing Pre-Upgrade Certifications in the Dashboard in Performing Self Service Tasks with Oracle Identity Governance for information about populating pre-upgrade certifications in the Dashboard by running this scheduled job. |
|
Yes |

Mine Comments OOTB Value: No
Note: To ensure the comments are populated, the value of this attribute must be changed to Yes. |
No |
DataCollection Scheduled Task |
This scheduled task is used to populate data from Oracle Identity Manager operational tables to the staging tables in an offline manner. The scheduled task is set to run manually, and is triggered when Oracle Identity Analytics (OIA) invokes the DataCollectionOperationsIntf->startDataCollection API. |
None |
Yes |
Delayed Delete User |
This scheduled task automatically deletes the user whose delete date is before the start of today. The XL.UserDeleteDelayPeriod system property indicates the number of days after which the user is to be deleted. When the administrator deletes a user, the user is marked in the Disabled state, and the user's 'Automatically Delete On' date is set for the future date after the number of days indicated in the XL.UserDeleteDelayPeriod system property. This scheduled task finds all such users for whom the 'Automatically Delete On' date is less than the start of today. All those users are marked as Deleted. For example, Jane Doe is a user with '2014-03-24 01:55:00' as the 'Automatically Delete On' date, and John Doe is a user with '2014-03-25 18:55:00' as the 'Automatically Delete On' date. When the scheduler is run on '2014-03-25', only Jane Doe is deleted. John Doe will be deleted when the scheduler runs on '2014-03-26'. Note: See Default System Properties in Oracle Identity Governance for information about the XL.UserDeleteDelayPeriod system property. Note: Oracle recommendation is to run this scheduled task once per day. |
None |
No |
Deleted User Account Clean Up Job |
This scheduled task removes sensitive data of deleted users, such as user attributes and account data. Note: Transitional data, such as reconciliation events, might have parts of relevant user data, which is taken care of by regular data purge utilities. If archival tables are used, such data persists in archival tables. Running the Deleted User Account Clean Up Job does not clean up certification campaigns for the users under consideration. As base records for users are completely cleaned up meanwhile, a detailed review of such users from certification campaign may not work. |
User Login(s): This is a comma-separated list of deleted user login(s). If this list includes any active user, then an error message is displayed. Check the diag_log and diag_log_dtls tables for details. For diagnostic logging and debugging information during or after the scheduled task execution, see 19c Using PL/SQL Unified Diagnostic Logging and Debugging Framework Framework. |
