How to Use SPML?

We are working on a requirement for using SPML in our project and we�ve been able to do simple tasks like Add Delete Search Modify a user using SPML.
Now here is a brief understanding jotted down in points that I�ve about SPML
SPML is an XML- based framework for exchanging user, resource and service provisioning information between organizations
A given requesting authority, or client, sends the provisioning service a set of requests via a well-formed SPML document (an XML document that conforms to the SPML standard).
Based on a pre- defined service execution model, the provisioning service takes the operations specified within the SPML document and executes provisioning actions on a pre- defined set of service targets or resources.
Sun Java Identity Manager comes with a toolkit for OpenSPML which is bundled with the Identity Manager Suite itself.It is basically a collection of Java classes that assist in submitting OASIS SPML 2.0 (SPML2) requests and receiving SPML2 responses.
Now using the OpenSPML.jar(The collection of Java Classes) that is available with Sun Java Identity Manager 6.0 I am able to do the following
Add a User
Delete a User
Modify a User
Search for a User
Etc.
If we consider the following sample code for a add operation it would be as simple as the following.
LighthouseClient client = new LighthouseClient();
client.setUrl("http://localhost:8080/idm/servlet/rpcrouter2");
client.setUser("configurator");
client.setPassword("configurator");
AddRequest req = new AddRequest();
req.setOperationalAttribute("trace", "true");
req.setObjectClass("person");
req.setIdentifier("jkerry");
req.setAttribute("password", "heinz57");
req.setAttribute("gn", "SPML");
req.setAttribute("sn", "Test3");
req.setAttribute("email", "[email protected]");
SpmlResponse res = client.request(req);
Now following are the answers I am looking for.
How do I get access to information about the person I am going to add using SPML?
( In the above case information about jkerry)
Do you guys have some documentation regarding flow you�ve implemented in your previous projects?
How does one handle a scenario when there are batch/multiple requests coming in (say for creation of users)?
Do I need to design in such a fashion that I need to have a Custom XML Parser and get all the information (say creation of users) in a well formed XML Document? Then user the Custom XML Parser to get information from XML document and use the OpenSPML jar API�s to do the provisioning part?
I hope I made myself clear.

Hi again Vinod ,
You were asking :
1.How do I get access to information about the person I am going to add using SPML?
( In the above case information about jkerry)
2.Do you guys have some documentation regarding flow you�ve implemented in your previous projects?
3.How does one handle a scenario when there are batch/multiple requests coming in (say for creation of users)?1. A solution to access user information might be using a SPML searchRequest :
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page import="org.openspml.browser.*"%>
<%@page import="org.openspml.client.*"%>
<%@page import="org.openspml.message.*"%>
<%@page import="org.openspml.message.Filter"%>
<%@page import="org.openspml.server.*"%>
<%@page import="org.openspml.util.*"%>
<%@page import="java.util.List" %>
<%@page import="java.util.Iterator"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Edit User Result</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
String userName = request.getParameter("name");
if (userName != null && userName.length() == 0)
    userName = null;
String firstName = request.getParameter("firstName");
if (firstName != null && firstName.length() == 0)
    firstName = null;
String lastName = request.getParameter("lastName");
if (lastName != null && lastName.length() == 0)
    lastName = null;
LighthouseClient client = new LighthouseClient();
client.setUrl("http://traian:8080/idm/servlet/rpcrouter2");
client.setUser("configurator");
client.setPassword("configurator");
SearchRequest sreq = new SearchRequest();
System.out.println(" Equals : "+FilterTerm.OP_EQUAL);Hi Vinod ,
System.out.println("AND :"+ FilterTerm.OP_AND);
Filter f = new Filter();
FilterTerm ft = new FilterTerm();
ft.addValue("firstname");
ft.addOperand(new FilterTerm(FilterTerm.OP_EQUAL));
ft.addValue(firstName);
List ops = ft.getOperands();
for ( int i = 0 ; i < ops.size() ; i ++ ){
       System.out.println("ops :"+ops.get(i).toString());
System.out.println("Filter initial Thingey :"+ft.getInitialSubstring());
System.out.println("Filter final Thingey :"+ft.getFinalSubstring());
System.out.println("Filter match rule Thingey :"+ft.getMatchRule());
System.out.println("FitlerTerm : "+ft.toString());
//f.addTerm(ft);
// sreq.setFilter(f);
sreq.addAttribute("firstname");
    SearchResponse sres = (SearchResponse) client.request(sreq);
//obtain the result
List responses = sres.getResults();
if (responses == null || responses.size() == 0) {
      %>
       Terribly Sorry . No Results Found .
      <%
else {
       %>
       <table border=1>
            <tr>
            <td>
            User
            </td>
            <td>
            Pass & Stuff
            </td>
            </tr>
       <%
       String name;
         String id;
         SearchResult searchResult;
         Iterator iter = responses.iterator();
         while (iter.hasNext()) {
           searchResult = (SearchResult)iter.next();
           if (searchResult != null) {
          %>
          <tr>
          <td>
          <%= searchResult.getAttributeValue("firstname") %>
          </td>
          <td>
          <%= searchResult.getAttribute("id") %>
          </td>
          </tr>
          <%
%>
</table>The only drawback is that I did not manage to implement Filters . If anyone has any ideas/sugestions or is willing to give it a go please post the information .
Thanks ,
Victor

Using SPML for Identity Management in EJB WebService

Dear All,
I have a requirement af using SPML(Service Provisioning Markup Language) for Identity management. Identity management is used to manage the user like deleting a user, modifying, adding a user etc for a application.For that the request for all these functions need to be made using the SPML. The idea is that first the data used to make any request will come from the SAP R3 using an EJB which will retrieve that data by calling a BAPI via JCO and then it is needed to be passed to the entitlement system using the SPML.Thus I have to publish a web service which will get data by calling BAPI and give it to entitlement system using SPML and how can I achieve it?. I have less knowledge about SPML, your guidence will help.
Thanks & Regards,
Samir

There is a document on the SAP Service Market Place that covers the SPML in the UME APIs. This quote is from the [UME documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/5b/5d2706ebc04e4d98036f2e1dcfd47d/frameset.htm]:
SPML Support
The UME APIs support access using the Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML). For more information, see service.sap.com/security > Security in Detail > Secure User Access > Identity Management > SAP Identity Management APIs.

Can't figure out how to use home sharing

Since the latest couple iTunes updates, my family and I can not figure out how to use home sharing. Everyone in our household has their own iTunes, and for a long time we would just share our music through home sharing. But with the updates, so much has changed that we can no longer figure out how to use it.
I have a lot of purchased albums on another laptop in the house, that im trying to move it all over to my own iTunes, and I have spent a long time searching the internet, and everything. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So.... how does it work now? I would really like to get these albums from my moms iTunes, onto mine. I would hate to have to buy them all over again.
If anyone is able to help me out here, that would be great! Thanks!

The problem im having is that after I am in another library through home sharing, I can't figure out how to select an album and import it to my library. They used to have it set up so that you just highlight all of the songs you want, and then all you had to do was click import. Now I don't even see an import button, or anything else like it. So im lost... I don't know if it's something im doing wrong, or if our home sharing system just isn't working properly.
Thanks for the help.

How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
"Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
where 'ABC' is the query name.
Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
A fast reply would be highly appreciated.

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

How to use airport time capsule with multiple computers?

I'm sure there are some thread about this but i couldn't find it... so sorry for that but hear me out! =)
I bought the AirPort Time Capsule to back up my MBP
And so i did.
then i thought "let give this one a fresh start" so i erased all of it with the disk utility and re-installed the MBP from the recovery disk.
I dont want all of the stuff i backed up just a few files and some pictures so i brought that back.. so far so good.
Now i want to do a new back up of my MBP so i open time machine settings, pick the drive on the time capsule and then "Choose" i wait for the beck up to begin, and then it fails. It says (sorry for my bad english, im swedish haha) "the mount /Volume/Data-1/StiflersMBP.sparsebundle is already in use for back up.
this is what i want:
i want the "StiflersMBP.sparsebundle" to just be so i can get some stuf when i need them. it's never to be erased.
i want to make a new back up of my MBP as if it's a second computer...
so guys and girls, what is the easiest and best solution?
Best regards!

TM does not work like that.
If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.

Use a clone or different software for a permanent backup.
