Updating an Oracle table during activesync

Question

Hi all,
I have an Oracle table resource that has a row for each user in IDM. I need to update certain columns in the table as each user is processed by activesync. The table resource is not assigned to the user. Has anyone had to do this type of thing for one of their projects?
Thank you very much!

This is because IDM thinks the user has nothing to do with the resource and doesn't even bother trying to update it.
There are several ways around it. The "easiest" way is to use the FormUtil class to get the resource object, get the resource adapter and finally the connection itself. With that connection you can perform standard JDBC SQL operations.
Here's how you get the direct database connection to your resource:
<invoke name="getConnection">
    <invoke name="getDelegate">
        <invoke name="getAdapterProxy" class="com.waveset.adapter.ResourceAdapterBase">
            <invoke class='com.waveset.ui.FormUtil' name='getObject'>
                <invoke name='getLighthouseContext'>
                    <rule name='EndUserRuleLibrary:getCallerSession'/>
                </invoke>
                <s>Resource</s>
                <s>Your Resource Name</s>
            </invoke>
            <invoke name='getLighthouseContext'>
                <rule name='EndUserRuleLibrary:getCallerSession'/>
            </invoke>
        </invoke>
    </invoke>
</invoke>With that you should be able to produce whatever you need to update the table. You'll still have to update the form or workflow to execute some JDBC updates but that's just standard java invokes.
