How to add a custom attribute to an entry?

I need to store a person's social security number in the directory.
I haven't found any appropriate standard attribute for such purpose (is there any?), so I decided to create a new one.
I've written a method:
public void setAttribute(String entryDN, String attrName, String attrValue)
throws LDAPException, UnsupportedEncodingException
LDAPConnection lc = new LDAPConnection();
lc.connect(ldapHost, ldapPort);
lc.bind(ldapVersion, loginDN, password.getBytes("UTF8"));
LDAPAttribute attribute = new LDAPAttribute(attrName, attrValue);
LDAPModification modification
= new LDAPModification(LDAPModification.ADD, attribute);
lc.modify(entryDN, modification);
lc.disconnect();
When the method is called
ldapManager.setAttribute("cn=TheUserName,cn=Users,dc=server,dc=domain,dc=com", "_custom", "TEST");
the following exception is thrown:
LDAPException: Undefined Attribute Type (17) Undefined Attribute Type
LDAPException: Server Message: Attribute _custom is not supported in schema.
LDAPException: Matched DN:
     at com.novell.ldap.LDAPResponse.getResultException(Unknown Source)
     at com.novell.ldap.LDAPResponse.chkResultCode(Unknown Source)
     at com.novell.ldap.LDAPConnection.chkResultCode(Unknown Source)
     at com.novell.ldap.LDAPConnection.modify(Unknown Source)
     at com.novell.ldap.LDAPConnection.modify(Unknown Source)
     at com.novell.ldap.LDAPConnection.modify(Unknown Source)
     at lv.alise.eliepaja.ldap.LdapManager.setAttribute(LdapManager.java:156)
     at lv.alise.eliepaja.ldap.LdapManager.main(LdapManager.java:178)
Exception in thread "main" Process exited with exit code 1.
How could I solve the issue?

Hi,
You need to check for a few things in your OID :
1. Your custom attribute should be present in the Schema.
2. The attribute should be grouped in an ObjectClass.
3. The ObjectClass should be put in the Entry you wish to modify.
4. You can then store a value ( or values ) against the attribute.
You can do steps 1, 2 & 3 either programatically or manually.
I hope this helps.

Sandeep

How can I add a custom attribute to a catalog area? (CRM Isa Sales)

Gents,
How can I add a custom attribute to a catalog area? (CRM Isa Sales)
Actually I would like to use the Catalog Area Type (maintained in trx COMM_PCAT_ADM on Catalog Area Header level). This field doesn't seem to be available in J2EE webshop. (The field documentation says it is for documentation purposes only so I don't expect it to be transferred).
As this field is not readily available, I would like to add is as an attribute to the Catalog Area. BADI's PCAT_IMS_FEED_ATT and PCAT_IMS_FEED_VAL seem to indicate that it should be possible to add additional fields not only on product level, but also on Area level:
Example implementation code:
method IF_EX_PCAT_IMS_FEED_ATT~READ_NEW_FIELDS.
* Example, how to add new attributes to a indexcategory
* Possible levels are 'C'ategory and 'P'roduct.
* Field 'VALUE' carries the attributetype ('S'tring, 'I'ntegar or
* 'F'loat)
* Structure 'IS_OBJECTS' carries actuall identifiers
data: ls_fields        type comt_pcat_ims_feed_ux.
case iv_level.
    when 'C'.                        "Category Level
*     no new field
    when 'P'.                        "Product Level
      ls_fields-field = 'CUSTOMER_EXIT_FIELD'.
      ls_Fields-value = 'S'.
      append ls_fields to ct_fields.
*     exproduct fields
      ls_fields-field = 'REMAN_ABL'.
      APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
      ls_fields-field = 'EXCH_BUS'.
      APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
endcase.
endmethod.
However, when I create an implementation and add some code in the when 'C' part, the attributes do not seem to get transferred. (I've checked in the debug mode of the developer studio).
- My example code:
METHOD if_ex_pcat_ims_feed_att~read_new_fields.
* Possible levels are 'C'ategory and 'P'roduct.
* Field 'VALUE' contains the attributetype
* ('S'tring, 'I'ntegar or * 'F'loat)
DATA:
ls_fields LIKE LINE OF ct_fields.
CASE iv_level.
    WHEN 'C'.                        "Category Level
      ls_fields-value = 'S'.
      ls_fields-field = 'ZTEST'.
       APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
    WHEN 'P'.                        "Product Level
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.
and:
METHOD if_ex_pcat_ims_feed_val~read_new_fields.
CASE iv_level.
    WHEN 'C'.
     ls_fields-field = 'ZTEST'.
     ls_Fields-value = 'Value 1'.
     append ls_fields to ct_fields.
    WHEN 'P'.
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.
In the ABAP debugger, I can see that my code is touched during initial and delta replications, however, after replication, the fields do not show up in the Java debugger.
Any ideas?

Hi,
How can I customize the /bin/wcmcommand or how can I make use of [2] to create a custom WCMCommand?
I think the "formUrl" is to post those input value to the jcr repository?
var createDialog = {

I have added a field called "starred"
Moreover, when I using the firebug to trace the post command, I can see that the starred value is posted also.

How can I add a custom attribute to the create page dialog?

I followed the following link to add a custom attribute called starred and this attaribute can be displayed in siteadmin grid
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/customize_siteadmin.html
I would like to let the user input the value when they create a page. That's why I would like to add a custom field in the input dialog box as attached pic.
The method you describe before can only added those CQ bulid-in attribute.
For those custom attribute, how can I added it?

How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?

How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played? As it is being played...
I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.

If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget.

How to add a customer field or extn coll in the tab1&2&3..of a UDO doc?

Hi Experts,
Does anybody know how to add a customer field or extn collection in the unused tabs like tab1&2...in a UDO document?
Thanks for your reply in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
David

Hi Subhasini - 
It seems you have discovered that adding an extension field to the Project Suppliers collection is not possible; many of the collections in E-Sourcing do not support extensions and, even when they do, typically, the table view of the data cannot be changed to show the extension value (it would only show on a "details" page, for example. 
The solution that you have proposed may work, although I think there is a slight mistake in your logic. I believe you are saying that the script would take data from the newly created extension collection and populate data in the out-of-the-box vendor collection. 
In thinking about your solution, I believe the benefit is that any logic and reporting based on the standard collection continues to function correctly (e.g., creating an RFx from the Project will use the out-of-the-box vendor collection). 
That being said, I generally am reluctant to do a "replace" of a standard collection with an extension collection as you propose. My recommendation is that you challenge the customer on the importance of this requirement. For example, could the code be maintained on the vendor record? Why is it maintained in Projects? If it is maintained in the vendor record, could you just populate a read only collection the Projects that shows the vendor and code? Could a report be written that can be launched from within the Project to show the values? How does the customer intend to use this field? Could the display name of the vendor object be the right place for it? 
I hope these ideas are helpful. 
Regards, 
Rob

How to add a custom button in WD screen to call a workflow in siebel?

Hi All,
We have a requirement to have a custom button at the summary screen(after the rule execution) "Create Opportunity", on clicking on it a new opportunity record should be created in Siebel. As we know the "Save" link calls "PolicyAutomationSaveSession" inbound web service method and saves the information in session table and we can modify the PreSession and PostSession workflows. But we are not sure how it calls the service method and where is the mapping defined.
Can you please help me on how to add a custom button and how to invoke a workflow in siebel side to implement this requirement?
Also is there any document which can help me to add a custom button in screen and to add the code behind the button?
Thanks in advance!!

Subhradeep,
Closing a Web Determinations window is essentially the same as closing any HTML window. It involves javascript, which you would have to add to the Web Determinations templates.
Essentially the javascript command to close a window is {{window.close}} or {{top.close}}
For timing, you might be able to use the setTimeout function of Javascript (see: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_settimeout.asp)
At the risk of exposing exactly how bad my javascript skills are, I have attached a super-simple html fragment, a page that closes itself after 3 seconds. It may help you get started in the right direction. In general closing a window is a fairly dubious activity and is often not permitted by certain browsers. This html page at least works in Internet Explorer.
<html>
 <head>
 <script language="JavaScript">
 setTimeout(closeMe, 3000);
 function closeMe() {
 alert("This window will close");
 top.close();
 </script>
 </head>
 <body>This window will close in three seconds</body>
</html>
{code}

How can you add a custom field in designer? I have been tinkering but can't find it. If I place the cursor in a bottom row of the list, and in the ribbon I choose Options/Formula, I can enter an Xpath expression. But after clicking OK, nothing happens, nothing
appears.
Is there a tutorial (for beginners) somewhere on how to add a custom field to a page?
Thank you!
D

I think the easiest way to accomplish this is through using the jQuery SPServices library to call the list items into an array and group by name. Then you can count the number they have done and then also do your calculations.

How to retrieve user custom attributes in OID programmatically

Hi,
I created a custom attribute named "location" in OID. Could someone give indication/portion of code showing how to retrieve this custom attribute "location" of a user programmatically?
For the moment, I just found sample code (using oracle.ldap.*) showing how to retrieve "uid" attribute of a user programmatically. I tried to get me inspired of this portion of code, but never succeed.
Thanks a lot for any help.

Use below code to get all attributes in user profile including UDF.
OIMInternalClient objOimInternalClient = null;
User user = null;
          UserManager usrService = null;
objOimInternalClient = new OIMInternalClient();
          if (objOimInternalClient != null) {
                    try {
                         objOimInternalClient.loginAsAdmin();
                         usrService = objOimInternalClient
                                   .getService(UserManager.class);
                         user = usrService.getDetails("usr_key", strUserKey, null);
                         endDate = (Date) user.getAttribute("End Date");
                    } catch (Exception e) {

How can i add an custom attribute and assign it to an existing custom object class in sun ds

I need to add an attribute to sun ds schema and assign it to an existing custom object class.
I know how to add an attribute but how can i add the attribute to an existing custom object class.
Please help.
Thanks

The objectclasses attribute is multi-valued, so you can add several values to it as long as they are unique.
For instance, I think you can add several declaration of the same objectclass as below (note the difference is the number of spaces in the value) howewer, from a schema perspective, only 1 will be taken into account:
objectclasses: ( 2.5.6.6 NAME 'person' DESC 'Standard LDAP objectclass' SUP top MUST ( sn $ cn ) MAY ( description $ seeAlso $ telephoneNumber $ userPassword $ CustomAttr) X-ORIGIN 'RFC 2256' )
objectclasses: ( 2.5.6.6 NAME 'person' DESC 'Standard LDAP objectclass' SUP top MUST ( sn $ cn ) MAY ( description $ seeAlso $ telephoneNumber $ userPassword $ CustomAttr) X-ORIGIN 'RFC 2256 ' )
That's the reason why it is safe to delete previous value if you want to update an existing objectclass. No problem to add a new objectclass (new oid and new name) to the schema.

How to add a custom column in a table?

Hi,
I have a requirement to add a custom field into the table of view InrLastHist of component ICCMP_BT_IRHIST. The data to be display in the column will be based on the standard category column.
I was thinking of adding a value attribute into the current BTORDERCUSTHIST, and write its get method to display the custom data, BUT the add attribute wizard doesnt allow me to do so. There is a note saying "Value attribute: Attribute that is not contained in any BOL entities (not supported in this version)".
So how do I do it? Pls advice.

Hi,
You need to find this bol in trx GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER, find the structure associeted and you have to create a field in this structure, after you create the attribute using this field that you created.
