Dependent Resource Object Concept in Oracle Identity Manager (OIM)

Do you know Exchange Resource Object is dependent upon 'Active Directory' RO?.......common!!! you know this :)

Recently for one of my customer it was reported that whenever AD account is disabled the corresponding Exchange account is also getting disabled and vice-versa.
At first glance I thought(which is also mentioned in excahnge connector guide) this functionality is specific to the AD/Excahnge connector.But when investigated

following facts came out:

1) This functionality does not have any thing to do with any connector deployment rather it is becuase of RO Dependency.
2) All the process task of dependent RO which has Task effects as "Disabled", "Enabled" and "Revoke" would be trigerred automatically if corresponding tasks from

Parent Resource Object is trigerred.

3) The important thing to notice is that all these tasks trigerring is dependent on the Parent RO's Statuses selcted from Statuses tab.

I believe you got it if not please do let me know ;)
