NodeType (Object Definition)

Items

• name

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Human-readable, mutable name of the object. It may also be an identifier (login name, group name). It is usually unique in the respective context of interpretation. E.g. the name of the UserType subtype is usually unique in the whole system. The name of the ShadowType subtype is usually unique in the scope of resource (target system) that it belongs to.

  The name may not be human-readable in a sense to display to a common end-user. It is intended to be displayed to IDM system administrator. Therefore it may contain quite a "ugly" structures such as LDAP DN or URL.

  Name is mutable. It is considered to be ordinary property of the object. Therefore it can be changed by invoking usual modifyObject operations. However, change of the name may have side effects (rename process).

  Although name is specified as optional by this schema, it is in fact mandatory for most object types. The reason for specifying the name as optional is that the name may be generated by the system instead of supplied by the clients. However, all objects stored in the repository must have a name.

• description

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Free-form textual description of the object. This is meant to be displayed in the user interface.

• fetchResult

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Result of the operation that fetched this instance of the object. It is mostly used to indicate that the object is not complete or there is some problem with the object. This is used instead of exception if the object is part of larger structures (lists as in list/search operations or composite objets). If not present then the "SUCCESS" state is assumed.

  This field is TRANSIENT. It must only be used in runtime. It should never be stored in the repository.

• extension

  Flags: dyn,RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Extension container that provides generic extensibility mechanism. Almost any extension property can be placed in this container. This mechanism is used to extend objects with new properties. The extension is treated exactly the same as other object properties by the code (storage, modifications, etc), except that the system may not be able to understand their meaning.

• parentOrgRef

  Flags: RAM

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Set of the orgs (organizational units, projects, teams) that the object relates to. This usually means that the object belongs to them but it may have other meanings as well (e.g. user manages an organizational unit).

• trigger

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Triggers for this object. They drive invocations of corresponding trigger handlers at specified time.

• metadata

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Meta-data about object creation, modification, etc.

• tenantRef

  Flags: RAM

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Reference to the tenant to which this object belongs. It is a computed value set automatically by midPoint. It is determined from the organizational structure. Even though this value is compted it is also stored in the repository due to performance reasons.

• lifecycleState

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Lifecycle state of the object. This property defines whether the object represents a draft, proposed definition, whether it is active, deprecated, and so on.

  There are few pre-defined lifecycle states. But custom lifecycle states may also be defined. Pre-defined lifecycle states are:

  • draft: Definition of the new object in progress. The object is NOT active. The definition may change at any moment. It is not ready yet.
  • proposed: Definition of a new object is ready for use, but there is still a review process to be applied (e.g. approval). The object is NOT active. However the definition should not change in this state.
  • active: Active and working definition. Ready to be used without any unusual limitations.
  • deprecated: Active definition which is being phased out. The definition is still fully operational. But it should not be used for new assignments. E.g. it should not be requested, it should not be approved, etc.
  • archived: Inactive historical definition. It is no longer used. It is maintained only for historical, auditing and sentimental reasons.
  • failed: Unexpected error has occurred during object lifecycle. Result of that event is that the object is rendered inactive. The situation cannot be automatically remedied. Manual action is needed.

• operationExecution

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Description of recent operations executed on this object (or related objects, e.g. shadows in case of a focal object). The number of operations to be kept here is configurable.
