Responsibilities List and Account Synchronization

The Responsibilities List is a capability attribute in the Oracle Applications account template. During account synchronization, the Provisioning Server merges the Responsibilities List attributes from multiple account templates. Each account template can specify different effective periods for a responsibility.

CA Identity Manager applies the following rules to reconcile different effective periods:

• The Provisioning Server applies the earliest (or blank) Valid-From date.
• The Provisioning Server applies the latest (or blank) Valid-To date.
• The Valid-From and Valid-To values can belong to different account templates. They do not have to come from the same account template.
• For each responsibility, the Provisioning Server assumes that the effective periods from multiple account templates form an uninterrupted effective period.
• Shortening or expiring the responsibility entry effective period on an account template and then synchronizing the account does not shorten the effective period on the associated account. The value on the account is more capable.

CA Identity Manager includes the following synchronization options for Responsibility Lists:

• Synchronization/Remove Account Template Values From Accounts

  When the Synchronization/Remove Account Template Values From Accounts setting is enabled, deleting a responsibility entry from the Responsibilities List triggers the SyncRemoveValues procedure. The SyncRemoveValues procedure expires a responsibility if no value is specified for it in an applicable account template. In this case, the Valid-To date becomes the current date.

  Note: The Oracle Applications endpoint does not support deleting a responsibility entry on an account. Instead, the endpoint expires the Responsibility entry.

  If you add an account with an expired responsibility to an account template with an efficient period, the expired responsibility is reactivated after account synchronization.

• Synchronization/Remove Deleted Account Template Attribute Values From Accounts

  To support this option, add the eTFNDResponsibilityList to the parameter.
