Delete related to OIM Users

OIM do not allow for the deletion of users for reporting and auditing reasons. In
addition, the data model is very complex and the USR entries are involved in
almost every table in some fashion which makes it very dangerous to simply
remove the users from USR table resulting in unintended consequences and
negating the validity of any development or testing.

However, we can mark the users as deleted and then reuse the user IDs. Or, we can change the userid for the users you no longer need to indicate that they are no longer valid if we do not want to enable userid reuse.

If some one want to create a clean database ,he would create a new database, install OIM against it, and then migrate the connectors and integrations to the new OIM server using the Deployment Manager.

STEPS


In the manage users screen of the Administrative Console we can delete a full page of users
by:
- clicking on the "Delete" checkbox in the top row of the table to select the delete option for all of the users in the page
- and then clicking on the "Delete" button at the bottom of the page.

By default the page will only display 10 users at a time but the number of rows displayed can be changed to
as high as 50 rows by changing the "global.displayrecordNum.value" in the
xlDefaultAdmin.properties file.
To reuse UserIDs:
- Open the Design Console
- Goto the Administration - System Configuration form
- Search for the Keyword "XL.UserIDReuse" and set the value to TRUE

This will allow you to reuse the UserIDs of deleted users.
