IAM-4070002 : Application Instance already created for Resource

In OIM 11G R2 Application Instance has concept of soft delete to address any dependency an Application/IT Resource might have, for example any associated accounts. So when you delete an Application Instance it marks application as ‘Soft Delete’. Ideally all dependencies should be removed before completely deleting the account.

You can query app_instance table to verify if application instance has been completed deleted or not.

So how do you take care of it? Execute below mentioned jobs –

Application Instance Post Delete Processing Job – This will remove any dependencies like accounts linked with the Application/IT Resource and then Hard Delete the Application Instance.
Catalog Synchronization Job – this will ensure it remove application instance from the Catalog. It might happen that this job is scheduled to run every 15 min or so and Application Instance has already been removed before you could run ‘Application Instance Post Delete Processing Job’.
