Propagating Changes to target sources

If you ever need to Propagate the changes to the target systems by change from the source system in OIM, do the following steps. In the following example, I am transmitting the first name change to Active Directory whenever a change occurs in Xellerate User profile.

1. Create an process task adapter that will copy & return the same string back as an adapter return value.
2. Go to Active Directory Provisioning Process definition.
3. Create / Modify Change First Name process task. Map the adapter created in Step 1 with Xellerate User First Name as the source string and adapter return variable to Process Form First Name.
4. Create / re-verify that First Name Updated task is present on AD Provisioning Process definition that propogates the attribute update on AD. That should be it !!
