Schema script

A schema script builds the schema for the connector, either from a static, predefined schema, or by reading the schema from the external resource. The script should use the builder object to create the schema.

A sample schema script for an SQL database is provided in openidm/samples/scripted-sql-with-mysql/tools/SchemaScript.groovy.

Input variables

The following variables are available to a sync script:

configuration: A handler to the connector’s configuration object.
operation: An OperationType that corresponds to the action (SCHEMA).
builder: An instance of the ICFObjectBuilder. The schema() method should be called with a Closure parameter defining the schema objects.

For more information, refer to Using the builder Parameter.
log: A logger instance for the connector.

Returns

This script has no return value.

Using the `builder` parameter

The builder.schema() must call the delegates objectClass method and operationOption method to define the schema.

Call the objectClass() method for each object type (account, group, and so on) that must be defined. Include the call to the following delegates:

type() - the name for this object type
attribute() - define a single attribute for this object type
attributes() - define multiple attribute for this object type
disable() - list the operations for which this object type is forbidden

The following example defines a simple ACCOUNT object type:

builder.schema({
    objectClass {
        type ObjectClass.ACCOUNT_NAME
        attribute OperationalAttributeInfos.PASSWORD
        attribute PredefinedAttributeInfos.DESCRIPTION
        attribute 'groups', String.class, EnumSet.of(MULTIVALUED)
        attributes {
            userName String.class, REQUIRED
            email REQUIRED, MULTIVALUED
            __ENABLE__ Boolean.class
            createDate  NOT_CREATABLE, NOT_UPDATEABLE
            lastModified Long.class, NOT_CREATABLE, NOT_UPDATEABLE, NOT_RETURNED_BY_DEFAULT
            passwordHistory String.class, MULTIVALUED, NOT_UPDATEABLE, NOT_READABLE, NOT_RETURNED_BY_DEFAULT
            firstName()
            sn()
        }
    }
}
