Process: Assert Uniqueness Task

Description

Use this task to run a search configuration and trigger an ErrorBoundaryEvent with error code "uniquenessTestFailed" if a uniqueness criteria is not met. The event might cause a different process flow.

Configuration

To use this task, configure the following delegate expression in your service task:

${assertUniquenessParameterizedTask}

 The following parameters can be configured in Identity Manager Admin:

 Parameter

Mandatory

Value

Description

searchConfigName

(tick)

Defines the search configuration that should be used to count objects.

During process execution the user must have the permission to execute the search configuration. It is possible to use a search configuration that searches over multiple levels.

minCount

-

The minimum number of objects that should be found.

If the search finds less than minCount objects, the action will trigger an ErrorBoundaryEvent with error code "uniquenessTestFailed". Although neither minCount nor maxCount are mandatory, at least one of them must be specified.

maxCount

-

The maximum number of objects that should be found.

If the search finds more than maxCount objects, the action will trigger an ErrorBoundaryEvent with error code "uniquenessTestFailed". Although neither minCount nor maxCount are mandatory, at least one of them must be specified.

resultVariableName

-

resultCount (used if nothing is specified)

Specifies where the number of found objects will be stored in the data map. 

The value is stored whether the condition is met or not. If no resultVariableName is specified, 'resultCount' is used as a default name.

<Datapool_Field>

-

For configuring search fields, add a parameter for each search field. The name of the parameter should be the full name of the datapool field. The value has to contain the filter condition and value, separated by a colon symbol.

For example:

EQUALS:${Person_PersonnelNumber}

GREATER_THAN:${now}

CONTAINS:st

If the underlying data source of the search configuration does not allow to query just the number of result objects, only as less objects as possible are fetched, but enough to find violations of minCount or maxCount. If the number of found objects equals to the upper limit, that was searched for, it is not possible to decide whether there are more objects. In such cases a hint is logged in debug mode:

"The search has been restricted to 2 object(s) for performance reasons, but there might exist more objects".

For more information, see <Datapool_Field> under Process: Execute Search Task.

Process: Build ZIP file with binary data from search result

Description

Use this task to load pack binary data objects into a ZIP file. A CoreObjectDescriptor is needed (loaded in a service task before) to have a list with core objects which contain the binary data fields. Different binaries belonging to one core object can be packed together into one ZIP file (for example photo and signature). Reference-fields can also be added into zip, if they represent a binaryData (like softtoken).

To use this task, configure the following delegate expression in your service task:

${buildZipFileFromBinariesParameterizedTask}

The following parameters can be configured in Identity Manager Admin:

 Parameter

Example: Instead of "Person_Email" the data map will get an additional entry: "Manager_Email".

sortColumn

-

<ColumnName> Example: FirstName

This parameter is the column name of the dataset, which is taken to order the search result.

sortOrder

-

Valid values:

  • ASC (default)

  • DESC

Combo box to select if the search result is ordered ascending or descending. Default is ascending.

  • Filter condition and value shall be separated by a colon symbol, like this, <CONDITION>:<value>.

    • Drag and drop a datapool-field into the Service Task definition, to create a filter, for example, OrderNumber, see (1) in the screenshot.

    • Add the datapool field name as a prefix, for example, SclmDpOrder_OrderNumber, see (2) in the screenshot. Every filter that is added as <Datapool_Field> MUST exist in the used SearchConfig, otherwise it will not be added when the search task is executed. When adding the new parameter and its name, make sure to use the correct prefix for your configuration. 

    • For the value, a condition is needed, in the screenshot "EQUALS".

You can also use the conjunctions AND and OR. For example:
EQUALS:Active _OR_ temporary.inactive

searchUniqueId

-

<value>

Example: ${<Datapool>_Id}

It is the Unique ID (<Datapool>_Id) used to store records in the underlying database. The value can be a literal or a JUEL expression. This filter always uses equals to identify the record. In case of a related search, this is used to identify the Source Object.

resultUniqueId
