IMASynchronization.MapAttributesForJoin Method

Generates a list of values based on the CSEntry attribute values that will be used to search the metaverse.

Namespace: Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices
Assembly: Microsoft.MetadirectoryServicesEx (in Microsoft.MetadirectoryServicesEx.dll)

Usage

'Usage
Dim instance As IMASynchronization
Dim FlowRuleName As String
Dim csentry As CSEntry
Dim values As ValueCollection

instance.MapAttributesForJoin(FlowRuleName, csentry, values)

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub MapAttributesForJoin ( _
    FlowRuleName As String, _
    csentry As CSEntry, _
    ByRef values As ValueCollection _
)

void MapAttributesForJoin (
    string FlowRuleName,
    CSEntry csentry,
    ref ValueCollection values
)

void MapAttributesForJoin (
    String^ FlowRuleName, 
    CSEntry^ csentry, 
    ValueCollection^% values
)

void MapAttributesForJoin (
    String FlowRuleName, 
    CSEntry csentry, 
    /** @ref */ ValueCollection values
)

Parameters

• FlowRuleName
  Contains the name of the flow rule. You must use only alphanumeric characters for the FlowRuleName parameter; otherwise you can encounter problems in a rules extension.

  Note

  Flow rules are not executed in the order shown in Synchronization Service Manager. Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service (FIM Synchronization Service) uses these rules according to the state of the connector space object. Configure your rules based on the state of the object rather than the rules being called in a predetermined order.

• csentry
  Contains a CSEntry object that represents the connector space entry.

• values
  Contains a ValueCollection object that receives the list of attribute values that are generated by this method to be used to search the metaverse.

Exceptions

Remarks

Use this method to convert attribute values to a format used in the metaverse. For example, the metaverse stores the full name attribute as a single string made up of the first name and last name, while the connected data source stores a first name and a last name as separate attributes. You can use this method to combine a first name and last name into a single string that can be used to search the full name attribute in the metaverse.
