Solution
We helped JEC Technologies in synchronizing user identity information from Oracle EBS to Active Directory for all existing user accounts – wherein attributes such as Employee Number or Student ID Number could be written back to AD from Oracle EBS using Microsoft Identity Manager 2016.
Here are the steps we followed for writing any new user attributes back to AD from Oracle:
Added new attribute flow in Outbound Synchronization Rule created from MIM Portal for attribute which needs to be written back to Active Directory from MIM, likewise we did for Metaverse Attribute employee ID writing back to employee Number in AD.
Ran following profiles on AD MA & Oracle EBS MA to update connector space & in turn MIM Service Database with any new changes / updates etc. in active directory or oracle database.
- Full Import
- Full Synchronization
Ran following profiles on MIM MA to get this synchronization rule along with
new ad or oracle changes updated in MIM Service database.
- Full Import
- Full Synchronization
- Export
- Delta Import
Triggered export run profile for writing back changes to AD while synchronization service manager began to show list of objects for which updates/changes will be pushed.

Technical Challenges
JEC Technologies Group was delivering solution to one of the leading Universities for streamlining onboarding process of student/employee by aligning database with IT functioning. However, then-operating user identity Information was spread across two different directories at the University mainly Active Directory & Oracle EBS. Hence, whenever a new student or employee joins a university all information were supposed to be entered first in Oracle EBS system & then a request can be raised to IT Team for provisioning of one’s account manually in Active Directory.
Technologies Used
Accomplishment
- Configuration of Microsoft Identity Manager in Active Directory environment helped University utilize Oracle enterprise Business System as a self-service portal.
- After successful execution of MIM deployment, user creation and management now happens on Oracle EBS which stays in sync with information on AD.
