Selection criteria for object definitions

The table entries to be displayed are found through a selection script and an object definition condition.

  • Formulate a selection script as a VB.Net expression which returns either True (True) or False (False), depending on whether or not the transferred data record belongs to this object definition.

  • Formulate a condition as a WHERE clause database query so that an object definition can also be used for display in result lists.

IMPORTANT: You must compile the database for the selection criteria to come into effect.

Example: Displaying system roles for the IT Shop

Selection script to determine at runtime whether this data record concerns a system role for the IT Shop:

Value = $IsForITShop:Bool$

Condition (WHERE clause) to determine whether this system role concerns the IT Shop:

IsForITShop=1

Using the captions for object definitions

You can define the following captions to represent each object definition in the administration tool user interface.

  • List caption

    The list caption is used in One Identity Manager tools as the title for result lists. The display text of the object definition that you specified through the selected menu item, is used as the list title.

  • Form caption

    The form caption is used to display the current object definition, for example, in the Manager's status bar.

The current object definition is determined when an item in the administration tool result list is selected. Valid object definitions and thereby the possible captions are determined by selection scripts. From the possible display texts, the caption of the object definition with the lowest sort order is shown.

Example:
Table 31: Captions depending on the sort order of the object definitions

System roles for IT Shop

When you select an employee in the result list, the related caption is System roles. If the system role is also labeled for the IT Shop (IsForITShop=1), this object is assigned to another object definition by means of the VB.Net expression and the display text System roles for IT Shop is used.

  2. Select one of the object definitions in the list.

    - OR -

    From the menu bar, add a new object definition using the Object > New menu item.

  3. Enter the object definition's main data.

  4. Select the Database > Commit to database and click Save.

Object definition properties

Table 32: Object definition properties
Property Description

Exclusive

Objects labeled with this option are considered exclusive. That means, all other possible matching object definitions are not accepted as valid. If several object definitions of one table are labeled as exclusive, the object definition with the lowest sort order applies.

Display template

The display template specifies the form in which the data sets in the administration tool result lists are displayed.

Display name

The object's display name is used, for example, to identify the table in a database search or for error output. Display names can be given in more than one language.

List caption

Caption used to display the list title in the user interface.

Form caption

Caption used to display the form title in the user interface.

Selection script

Selection script as a VB.Net term, to determine during runtime whether the database object passed down belongs to this object definition.

NOTE: The database needs to be complied after changing modifying the selection script.

Processing status

Object processing status. The processing status is used for creating custom configuration packages.

Condition

Condition required for the object definition to be used for displaying in lists. You define the condition as a valid WHERE clause for database queries.

NOTE: The selection script and the condition must match. If one of the properties is given then the other one also has to be given!

Remarks

Text field for additional explanation.

Disabled by preprocessor

If an object definition is excluded through a preprocessor condition, this option is set by the Database Compiler.

Insert values

Default settings for fields that are assigned when a new data set is added. The input is in VB.Net syntax.

NOTE: The database needs to be complied after changing modifying the values.

Background color

Color, with which the control for this object is displayed in the schema overview.

Object name

Name of the object.

Preprocessor condition

Object definitions can have preprocessor conditions added. This means, an object definition is only available when the preprocessor condition is fulfilled.

Sort order

The sort order is used for displaying the form title when an object is selected. The smaller the sort order magnitude, the stronger the restrictions defined for the object.

Icon

Icon for displaying the object definition.

Table

Table for which the object definition is created.
