[midPoint] How to specify multiple object template ref in sync rules

Hi Vincent, 

you could define multiple synchronization policies for the same resource if you can distinguish between the accounts and configure them as different intents. Then, for each intent you can have diferent synchronization policies including object template reference. 

Example (from the training) - only <synchronization> part, schemaHandling for both intents must be also defined with mappings. 
I have defined two intents. One is default, the other is "test" account. The accounts differ by username - test accounts always start with underscore (_). This is used to distinguish the intents, see the conditions in <objectSynchronization> parts. 

... 
<synchronization> 
<objectSynchronization> 
<!-- 
The synchronization for this resource is enabled. 
It means that the synchronization will react to changes detected by 
the system (live sync task, discovery or reconciliation) --> 
<name>Default account</name> 
<!--<objectClass>ri:AccountObjectClass</objectClass>--> 
<kind>account</kind> 
<intent>default</intent> 
<enabled>true</enabled> 

<condition> 
<script> 
<code> 
import static com.evolveum.midpoint.schema.constants.SchemaConstants.* 
// name = basic.lc(shadow.getName().toString()) 
name = basic.getAttributeValue(shadow, ICFS_NAME) 
//log.info("XXX Synchronization condition for account/default; name (getName()) = {}; name (getAttributeValue) = {}; evaluated to {}", shadow.getName(), name, !name?.startsWith('_')) 
return !name?.startsWith('_') 
</code> 
</script> 
</condition> 
<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>

<objectSynchronization> 
<!-- 
The synchronization for this resource is enabled. 
It means that the synchronization will react to changes detected by 
the system (live sync task, discovery or reconciliation). 
The test account has name starting with "_". --> 
<name>Test account</name> 
<!--<objectClass>ri:AccountObjectClass</objectClass>--> 
<kind>account</kind> 
<intent>test</intent> 
<enabled>true</enabled> 
<condition> 
<script> 
<code> 
import static com.evolveum.midpoint.schema.constants.SchemaConstants.* 
// name = basic.lc(shadow.getName().toString()) 
name = basic.getAttributeValue(shadow, ICFS_NAME) 
//log.info("XXX Synchronization condition for account/test; name (getName()) = {}; name (getAttribute) = {}; evaluated to {}", shadow.getName(), name, name.startsWith('_')) 
return name?.startsWith('_') 
</code> 
</script> 
</condition> 

<correlation> 
<q:description> 
Correlation expression is a search query. 
Following search queury will look for users that have "name" 
equal to the account name without the first character. We assume that 
the first character is "_" because of the condition above. 
The correlation rule by default looks for users, so it will not match 
any other object type. 
</q:description> 
<q:equal> 
<q:matching>polyStringNorm</q:matching> 
<q:path>c:name</q:path> 
<expression> 
<script> 
<code> 
n = shadow.getName().toString() 
n.substring(1) 
</code> 
</script> 
</expression> 
</q:equal> 
</correlation>

</action> 
</reaction> 
</objectSynchronization> 
</synchronization> 
... 

I'm not using object templates here, but this is from my real project: 
... 
<reaction> 
<situation>deleted</situation> 
<synchronize>true</synchronize> 
<objectTemplateRef oid="73e2560a-fd87-11e5-839d-3c970e44b9e2"/> 
<action> 
<handlerUri>http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/model/action-3#inactivateFocus</handlerUri> 
</action> 
</reaction> 

... 

That template was referenced everytime deleted account was discovered, midPoint would disable it and execute the template (to set some additional attributes of that user). 

Hope this helps. 
Regards 
Ivan
