[Midpoint-dev] Adding a "deferred task" to a user during live sync

[Ivan Noris]

Hi Chris,

my only (untested) idea would be to use correlation expression condition.

I'm using something like this to match by employeeNumber attribute, but
not if the employeeNumber attribute in midPoint is empty:

...

                   <correlation>
                        <q:description>
                            Correlation expression is a search query.
                            Following search queury will look for users
that have "employeeNumber"
                            equal to the "enumber" attribute of the account.
                            The condition will ensure that "enumber" is not
                            empty, otherwise it would match any midPoint
user
                            with empty "employeeNumber" attribute, such
as "administrator".
                            The correlation rule by default looks for
users, so it will not match
                            any other object type.
                        </q:description>
                        <q:equal>
                            <q:path>c:employeeNumber</q:path>
                              <expression>
                                <path>$account/attributes/ri:enumber</path>
                              </expression>
                        </q:equal>
                        <condition>
                            <script>
                                <code>basic.getAttributeValue(shadow,
'enumber') != null</code>
                            </script>
                        </condition>
                    </correlation>
...

If you have an attribute on the account side which contains the change
date information (which is in the future) and you compare with current
date/time, perhaps it would work.

Best regards,
Ivan
