SAP Identity management 8.0 external job scheduling

Hello experts,

we want to have an external software (Visual TOM), triggering a job in IDM 8. Do any of you know if that's possible or have already done it? If yes, how so?

We have two ideas :

- trigger a java process with the right parameters (which are...? still to find out)

- find out what's happening when clicking on "Run Now" and create a script to reproduce it

What do you think?

Thanks a lot,

Clotilde

Hi Clotilde,

I think you can try this

1) create a UI task to trigger the IdM job

2) Develop a program in Visual TOM to trigger this UI task via RESTful API.

I haven't tried this, but I believe it is feasible.

Cheers

Clotilde,

not sure about 8.0, but you can do this in 7.2 by calling this stored procedure:

mc_job_schedule
    @Jobid int,        -- Job ID
    @Pnow int,        -- 1 --> Run job now
    @Pstatus int OUTPUT,
    @Pstatustext varchar(255) OUTPUT

Maybe it's still a viable approach in 8.0.

Hi Lambert,

I think that we are going to try it your way as it seems easier and VTOM can trigger sql scripts. I'll let you know how it goes once it's done.
