API call to update a UDF of Organization fails

Question

I am using the 11g APIs to create a new organization. I have define a new UDF "DisplayName" in Design Console for the organization and I am trying to pass a value to it from the API. The code is the following:
Organization org = new Organization();
org.setAttribute("Organization Name", "My Org Code");
org.setAttribute("Organization Customer Type", "Company");
org.setAttribute("DisplayName", "My Org Name");
orgMgr = Platform.getService(OrganizationManager.class);
orgMgr.create(org);
The API throws an exception:
Caused by: oracle.iam.platform.entitymgr.UnknownAttributeException: Organization : [DisplayName]
Does anyone know how can I pass a value to a UDF of Organizations from API?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I know i'm replying to an old thread, but I was having the same issue and have found the solution. Next to adding the user defined fields in the design console, you also need to add them to db/identity/entity-definition/Organization.xml using the MDS. When done both you can create through 11g api (and also recon will work which was the problem I was having)
