dispatcherService

dispatcherService is an object available from agents' attribute translation rules.

This object contains four methods:

method name
parameters
result type
comments
soffidToSystem ExtensibleObject soffidObject ExtensibleObject

Uses attribute translation tables to transform a soffid object to a target system object.

Mind to fill-in objectType property to use the proper object mapping

systemToSoffid ExtensibleObject systemObject ExtensibleObject

Uses attribute translation tables to transform a target system object to a Soffid object.

Mind to fill-in objectType property to use the proper object mapping

search ExtensibleObject exampleObject ExtensibleObject

Uses the exampleObject to perform a query by example on the target system. If the object exists on the target system, it is returned.

Mind to fill-in objectType property with the desired system object type

invoke

String verb

String action

Map parameters

List of Map

This method allows arbitrary executions on the target system, but it semantics can change depending on the connector used.

For instance, it can be used to perform a GET on the target system in REST connector, can issue an LDAP query on ActiveDirectory connector, can execute a SELECT sentence on a SQL connector, or can execute an operating system command in Shell connector.

The results are returned as a list of objects (map).
