[midPoint] Issue while uploading resource xml

Thanks a lot  Radovan for your reply .Just had a query how does midpoint synchronizes database table I guess it's the change log column which does the work? but wanted to know how it works how midpoint identifies whether value in the row has changed or whether it is a new row .

Also do we have connectors for Postgres DB instead of Data table.

If I have say 5 tables to synchronize then will I need to configure 5 different xml files if I use datatable connector or can I specify it in only one resource xml file

Regards,
Nitin

Hi Nitin,

The answer is a bit tricky but it is essentially "yes".

MidPoint can synchronize resource objects (on resource side) with anything that is subclass of FocusType (on midPoint side). The object on midPoint side has to be subclass of FocusType beause this type has the data items that are necessary to keep the track of synchronization (linkRef, assignment).

But object definitions in midPoint are fairly static. We need this to accomplish our strategy of getting a lot of features out of the box. We also need this for database optimization and therefore also scalability. There is a GenericObjectType that can be used to represent a new types of objects. But this one is *not* subclass of FocusType as we didn't want to limit the extensibility possibilities.

However there is an elegant solution. MidPoint has RoleType and OrgType which represent role and organization unit respectively. However the RoleType and OrgType concepts in midPoint are much more generic that you are probably used to. Role is designed to represent a lot of different things not just the "role proper". E.g. a role can represent an access privilege, employee work position, physical access clearance and so on. OrgType can prepresent project, team, workgroup and so on. So I suggest that you can represent your AccessObject as a midPoint Role. You can place all your custom data items in role <extension> part and you will gain all the existing advantages of roles (e.g. authorizations).

We have been thinking about adding some kind of GenericFocusType to midPoint. But as RoleType and OrgType are such a nice and generic concepts we have actually been able to model all the case by just using these two. But in case these concepts do not suit your needs please let me know. We can reconsider the GenericFocusType idea.

(BTW, generic synchronization is a feature of midPoint 3.0 which is scheduled to be released in May. Therefore all of this applies to version 3.0)

Thanks a lot Deepak.Can you please let me know if we can define our set of custom objects which midpoint can synchronize
For example apart from User object if I want to synchronize say AccessObject[custom] then can we do this using midpoint

Hi Nitin -

I would recommend you upgrade to/try out Midpoint v2.2.1 :

https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Release+2.2.1

You can find good examples for configuring MySQL and LDAP resources here :

https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/tree/v2.2-support/samples/resources (from the 2.2 support branch)

And this is the documentation from their Wiki (specific to Resource Configuration) :

https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Resource+Configuration

Hello Nitin,

which version of midPoint are you using? Because, as for tasks, the exclusivityStatus element was removed almost a year ago! (Before releasing midPoint 2.2.)

Best regards,
Pavol
