Can you go another way and have your other application create the user in an LDAP for example?

Hi Nishita,

In case if XI is available in your landscape, instead of any custom application XI can check the Portal DB for new update and feed the data into your local database through JDBC adaptor.

Else a simple portal application can fetch the user details (new records based on date) from the UME on a perodic basis & call the webservice.

Nishita,

Implement a KM Scheduler task which will check the UME for the created user and update into your local database database in NWDS and deploy into EP.

Schedule Task:

Navigate to system admin -> System config -> Knowledge Mgmt -> Content Mgmt -> Global services -> scheduler task -> click on deployed scheduler task -> Press the button New to schedule a time -> finish.

By schedule the task you can run the par file periodically.

I think it still makes more sense to make your UME source an LDAP and have users created there which then have trigger your event. Relying on finding changes in the UME tables in Java is risky as the mechanism migth change later. Also, what do you do about updates, deletions etc?

Dear Harini,

Thank you.

Can you please let me know if there is a way to know that a new user is created in the portal so that we can run this webdynpro application to update it in the Oracle DB.

Hi,

You can create a webdynpro application and use UME API to get users and other details required. Then call the webservice (using adaptive webservice model) to update the info to Oracle DB. You can do this logic also in the same application itself without creating webservice. If you want to use webservice only, then you may have to create a web module and ear project. Use bean in web module project to expose the required methods for the webservice.

Please close the thread if your question is answered.

Dear Michael Nicholls,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Actually our requriement is that we need to call a webservice on the click Save button of the Create user in User Administrator to which we will be passing the user details and the webservice internally will store the details in Oracle DB.

Can you please suggest me if this is feasible and also kindly guide me through the procedure in obtaning the result.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi

As suggested, it is better to create a new application for your requirement which will do this work. It is not recommended to change the standard application since there is huge amount of logic which has be handled for the requirement. Any mess up can cause issues with UME. Instead create a new application which can fetch the users from UME and add them to your Oracle DB. You can run this application periodically to get new users to the DB.
