Does ITIM Adoption Rules works with TDI Event notification ( JNDI Adapter)

[hemant sharma]

Hi Guys,

Sorry guys for posting this ITIM related questions here, but I
couldn't find any better place to post this question.

I have created a JNDI adapter which creates Accounts in ITIM, My
problem is Adoption rules does not work with this, in the Trace.log
all I see is "findPersonForAccountByAlias" Method being executed ,
which I think is Default adaption rule.

But I never see my Adaption rule is being executed, I am not sure if
its a known bug in ITIM that Adoption rules does not work while using
JNDI based Event notification or there is something I am do to make it
work. Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the reply, I got following official response form IBM
support.

In principal the event notification configuration is an AGENT based
recon where deltas for a recon driven by the adapter will compare the
deltas from a full recon for the defined service and the current event
based recon and send the deltas over to the ITIM server to process.

Once a new change is sent to the ITIM server it will process the
change for users that it has as managed accounts. If it does not find
the entity to update it will not process any of the changes for the
user ad report user not found. So to answer your question an event
notification driven recon will not go through the adoption process as
a standard SERVER based recon will.

I find that my customers who want to use event based notification on
the ADAPTER side will have a daily recon from the server run and use
that recon to match new accounts to the ITIM entity the data feed
brings into the ITIM system.
