Scripted Logic Update Considerations

Consider commenting out the staticMethodScriptStyleMetaDataFile property from your connector’s connector.xml file while writing or enhancing scripts. Instead, provide values for the endpoint type’s eTOpBindingsMetaData attribute explicitly in LDAP ADD and MODIFY requests. This allows you to test new scripting logic through the following:

• A simple LDAP MODIFY passing in the value of a variable assigned using a Var From File Controller, through which the new <connector>_opbindings.xml file can be read.
• Cutting and pasting the content of the new <connector>_opbindings.xml into JXplorer.

However, for production usage, consider reinstating the staticMethodScriptStyleMetaDataFile property setting in connector.xml, therefore stopping changes to the endpoint type’s eTOpBindingsMetaData attribute which can subvert your connector’s implementation. If you are using a hot-deployed connector that has its connector.xml settings in metadata rather than in a file residing on CA IAM CS, this procedure is not recommended.
