OIM11G Add addtional search criteria for user search during request creation

OOTB OIM11G request creation wizard provides only few fields to perform search criteria for user search. The following way can be used to add additonal search criteria fields to the wizard.

For example adding Employee Number to the user search criteria, perform the following steps:

1. Take a backup of the file:
$OIM_ORACLE_HOME/server/apps/oim.ear/iam-consoles-faces.war/WEB-INF/lib/OIMUI.jar

Note: Do NOT place the backup under $OIM_ORACLE_HOME. Use a location outside $MW_HOME for the backup!

2. Unzip the file OIMUI.jar
3. Edit the file
OIMUI.jar/oracle/iam/request/self/agentry/resources/Agent.xml and add the following section under USER_SEARCH_SHUTTLE_CAT (or USER_ENTITY_SEARCH_SHUTTLE_CAT
) form as shown below:

<Form>
  <Id>
    USER_SEARCH_SHUTTLE_CAT
  </Id>
   <Elements>
    <Criteria>
...
...
<Attribute>
  <Id>
    Employee Number
  </Id>
  <TransId>
    REQ_USER_EMP_NO
  </TransId>
  <Values minLimit="1">
  <DataType>
   TEXT
  </DataType>
  <Comparators>
  <Comparator>
   EQUALS
  </Comparator>
  </Comparators>
  <Value className="java.lang.String">
   <Comparator>
    EQUALS
   </Comparator>
   </Value>
   </Values>
</Attribute>
...
...

4. Add the following line in the file:
OIMUI.jar/oracle/iam/request/self/agentry/resources/Agent.properties

Attribute[REQ_USER_EMP_NO].name=Employee Number

5. Add the following line in the file:

OIMUI.jar/oracle/iam/request/self/agentry/resources/Agent_en.properties
Attribute[REQ_USER_EMP_NO].name=Employee Number
