Example Description

This example shows how to use the adapter’s Publication, Subscription, and Request-response services in a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process. It contains four processes: Operations, ReceivePub, Search, and TestSubService. Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition is used in the example.

•	Operations uses the adapter’s Request-response service to insert, lookup, update, upsert, and delete entries in the LDAP server. This process contains several typical basic operations that an LDAP server supports, and it includes the following nine activities:

−	Insert: adds a new entry to the LDAP server. In this example, the DN for the new entry is ou=exampleTest,dc=test1,dc=top,dc=test. The LDAP_ADD operation is used.

−	Lookup: looks up the new entry just inserted. The LDAP_LOOKUP operation is used.

−	Update: adds a new attribute to the new entry. The LDAP_MOD_ADD operation is used.

−	Update-2: modifies the value of the attribute just added to the new entry. The LDAP_MOD_REPLACE operation is used.

−	Update-3: deletes the attribute that was added into the Update activity. Make sure that the correct attribute value is entered. Otherwise, the attribute with the incorrect value cannot be deleted. The LDAP_MOD_DELETE operation is used.

−	ModifyDN: renames the entry ou=exampleTest,dc=test1,dc=top,dc=test to ou=exampleTestModified,dc=test1,dc=top,dc=test. The LDAP_MODIFYKEY operation is used.

−	Search: searches the previously renamed entry in the ModifyDN activity. The LDAP_SEARCH operation is used.

−	Upsert: upserts the previously renamed entry in the ModifyDN activity. The LDAP_UPSERT operation is used.

−	Delete: deletes the renamed entry. The LDAP_DELETE operation is used. After this activity, the entry created during the Insert activity will be deleted, and the LDAP server will look the same as it was before the execution of this entire process.

•	ReceivePub receives messages published by the adapter and writes them in a plain text file. In this process, a modification is made in the LDAP server, and published by the adapter’s Publication service. A plain text file is generated to record this modification in a specified location.

•	Search uses the adapter’s Request-response service to demonstrate the following three operations that an LDAP server supports:

−	SEARCH_BASE: only searches the entries in the specified DN.

−	SEARCH_ONELEVEL: only searches the immediate children of the entry in the specified DN.

−	SEARCH_SUBTREE: searches the entries in the specified DN and all of its descendants.

•	TestSubService uses the adapter’s Subscription service to demonstrate the following two basic operations that an LDAP server supports:

−	Add Person: adds a new entry to the LDAP server. The LDAP_ADD operation is used.

−	Delete Person: deletes the entry just created. The LDAP_DELETE operation is used.
