Update script

An update script updates an object in the external resource. Connectors that do not support update operations should throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

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

Input variables

The following variables are available to an update script:

configuration: A handler to the connector’s configuration object.
options: A handler to the Operation Options.
operation: An OperationType that corresponds to the action (UPDATE).
objectClass: The object class that is updated, such as __ACCOUNT__ or __GROUP__.
attributes: A collection of ConnectorAttributes that represent the entry attributes to update.
uid: The UID of the object to be updated. The UID corresponds to the OpenICF UID attribute.
id: The name of the object to be updated (optional). The id corresponds to the ICF __NAME__ attribute. It will not be injected and set unless the update is a rename.
log: A logger instance for the connector.

Returns

The user unique ID (ICF __UID__) of the updated object. The type of the returned UID must be a string or a Uid. If the UID is not modified by the update operation, return the value of the uid injected into the script.

Update Script

def operation = operation as OperationType
def updateAttributes = attributes as Set<Attribute>
def configuration = configuration as ScriptedConfiguration
def id = id as String
def log = log as Log
def objectClass = objectClass as ObjectClass
def options = options as OperationOptions
def uid = uid as Uid

log.ok("Update...")
switch (operation) {
    case OperationType.UPDATE:
        switch (objectClass) {
            case ObjectClass.ACCOUNT:
// ...
                    for (Attribute a : updateAttributes) {
                        if (a.is(Name.NAME)) {
// ...
return uid
