Hello,
I am looking to create a custom activity that can allow user to update certain custom attributes in Active Directory.
Inside the SDK documentation, I have noticed a UserAccountInfo class and AttributeInfo class.
Please enlighten me on how can I utilize them in custom activity.
Thank you
Hi Terrance,
Thank you for the suggestion.
Currently I have wrote this in the custom activity
function PostLoad($workflow, $activity)
{
#Edit this list to specify additional attributes that can contain phone numbers
$ATTRS = [string[]] ("mobile", "mail")
#Obtain user's AD Attributes' Values
$user = $global.GetUserById($workflow.UserInfo.Domain, $workflow.UserInfo.Id, $ATTRS)
if ($user -eq $null) {
$workflow.CriticalError([QPM.Common.Scenarios.WorkflowErrorCode]::SystemError, "User not found")
} else {
#Populate textboxes with retrieved values
$i = 0
$ATTRS | %{
$num = $user[$_]
#retrieve and output attributes into individual textbox
$num = $num.ToString()
$activity.RunTime.Controls["elementID_$i"].Value = $num
$i = $i + 1
}
if ($i -eq 0) {
#No phone numbers could be used for authentication
$workflow.CriticalError([QPM.Common.Scenarios.WorkflowErrorCode]::PhoneAuthenticationPhoneNumbersNotSet)
}
}
}
function PreExecuting($workflow, $activity)
{
#Add code to be executed after activity UI is shown, but before activity main part is executed here
$workflow.UserInfo.AccountInfo.mobile = $activity.RunTime.Controls["elementID_0"].Value
$workflow.UserInfo.AccountInfo.Mail = $activity.RunTime.Controls["elementID_1"].Value
}
I am able to retrieve the AD attribute's value:
$activity.RunTime.Controls["elementID_$i"].Value = $workflow.UserInfo.AccountInfo.Mail
But I am not able to update a new value into the AD attribute after I press "Next" in the GUI.
this is the syntax I have used as shown in the above code: $workflow.UserInfo.AccountInfo.Mail = $activity.RunTime.Controls["elementID_1"].Value
Will you be able to assist?
