Create script

A create script creates a new object on the external resource. If your connector does not support creating an object, this script should throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

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

Input variables

The following variables are available to a create 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 (CREATE).
objectClass: The object class that is created, such as __ACCOUNT__ or __GROUP__.
attributes: The set of attributes that describe the object to be created.
id: The UID of the object to be created, if specified. If the UID is null, the UID should be generated by the server. The UID corresponds to the ICF __NAME__ attribute if it is provided as part of the attribute set.
log: A logger instance for the connector.

Returns

The user unique ID (ICF __UID__) of the newly created object. The type of the returned UID must be a string or a Uid. If a null value or an object type other than string or Uid is returned, the script must throw an exception.

Create Script

def operation = operation as OperationType
 def configuration = configuration as SapConfiguration
 def log = log as Log
 def objectClass = objectClass as ObjectClass
 def createAttributes = new AttributesAccessor(attributes as Set<Attribute>)
 def name = id as String
 def options = options as OperationOptions

 log.info("Entering {0} script",operation);


 assert operation == OperationType.CREATE, 'Operation must be a CREATE'
 // We only deal with users
 assert objectClass.getObjectClassValue() == ObjectClass.ACCOUNT_NAME


 def password = createAttributes.getPassword() as GuardedString;
 assert password != null, 'Password must be provided on create'


 //...
 def uid = createTheUser(createAttributes);
 return uid
