[midPoint] Filtering inbound data from Postgres table

[Collins, Kevin]

Hi everyone,


I’ve been working through the MidPoint book and the samples in midPoint 4.4.3 to try answer a couple of problems I’m having putting together a PoC midPoint demo:


  *   How do I filter inbound data from a (Postgres) db table so that it doesn’t try to import stale data? Simplified use case is that an HR system writes data about staff to a Postgres db table.  That data is more or less authoritative for staff. The db table contains details about every member of staff who is current but also contains details of every staff person it has ever known about.  This sounds like an ideal job for a scripted-sql connector but I can’t get that to work at all in midPoint. So I’m looking at filtering on the inbound data. Unless, of course, anyone has good worked example of a scripted-sql resource that they’d be willing to share…
  *
  *   How do I prevent the Idm from deleting the entire record from the Postgres db table when I delete it in the IDM ?

The HR people “own” the data in the table except for the username, emailAddress and initial password, which are generated by the Idm and passed back to the table.

Thanks in advance.
