MetadataItemDefinitionType (Complex Type)

Items

• ref

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [1,1]

  Path of the item or association that this definition describes. It must point to property or the attribute in the resource schema that belongs to an object class that is being described here.

• displayName

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

• help

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Help text for the displayed item. Help text is usually displayed when the user clicks on help/information icon. This may be a longer text (several sentences).

  This is equivalent to "help" schema annotation and can be used to override it.

• description

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

• documentation

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Technical documentation for a particular object or construct.

  The purpose of this element is to document system configuration and behavior. The documentation will not be presented to end users. In fact, it will probably not be presented at all in midPoint user interface. This documentation element is supposed to be a part of the technical documentation of midPoint deployment. The tools than generate deployment configuration will look for these elements and combine them to compiled documentation document.

  AsciiDoc formatting is assumed for this element. Any leading or trailing whitespace is skipped. Indentation equivalent to he indentation of the first non-blank line of text is also skipped.

• displayOrder

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

• limitations

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Limits the usage of the attribute, e.g. whether it may is read-only, read write or entirely ignored. The limitations may apply to several system layers, therefore this element may be repeated several times. But it there may be only one instance for each layer.

• matchingRule

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Specification of a matching rule for an attribute. Matching rule is used to compare values of the attribute. The default rule is a literal comparison which is good for most attribute types and for case-sensitive strings. An alternative matching rule may be specified e.g. for case insensitive strings.

• valueEnumerationRef

  Flags: RAM

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Reference to an object that directly or indirectly represents possible values for this item. We do not define here what exactly the object has to be. It can be a lookup table, script that dynamically produces the values or anything similar. The object must produce the values of the correct type for this item otherwise an error occurs.

• tolerant

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  When set to true, allows attribute/property values that are set outside midPoint (or outside object template mappings). The synchronization will only remove values that are assigned by midPoint (or template mappings), but will tolerate extra native values. When set to false, extra values are not tolerated. When midPoint detects such value (e.g. during reconciliation) it will remove it. Support of non-tolerant items in object templates is currently EXPERIMENTAL.

• tolerantValuePattern

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Pattern (regexp) for attribute/property value. If the value matches the pattern such value is tolerated. It is left in the attribute/property even if it is not derived from any mapping. This element is currently supported only in resource object type definitions. Support in object templates is planned.

• intolerantValuePattern

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Pattern (regexp) for attribute/property value. If the value matches the pattern such value is NOT tolerated. The value must be derived from a mapping or it will be removed. This element is currently supported only in resource object type definitions. Support in object templates is planned.

• emphasized

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Set true for definitions that are more important than others and that should be emphasized during presentation. E.g. the emphasized definitions will always be displayed in the user interfaces (even if they are empty), they will always be included in the dumps, etc.

• deprecated

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  This setting can be used to control the value of "deprecated" flag determined from the schema. I.e. it can be used to override the value taken from the schema. E.g. it can be used to "unmark" a deprecated item, so it will behave as normal, non-deprecated item. This may be used as a temporary measure during the period of migrating the configuration to non-deprecated setting.

• experimental

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  This setting can be used to control the value of "experimental" flag determined from the schema. I.e. it can be used to override the value taken from the schema. E.g. it can be used to "unmark" an experimental item, so it will behave as normal, non-experimental item. USE WITH CARE. Experimental items are marked as experimental for a reason. When those items are "unmarked", they will not get any less experimental.

• validation

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Validation rules for the item. Validation rule may be applied in the user interface. But server-side validation may also be applied during the computation process.

• persistence

  Flags: RAM,runtime,AVals:3

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Whether values of this item should be persisted. Currently implemented for metadata only.

• mapping

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  TODO

• applicability

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Where to apply this metadata item definition.
