How to add value in multiValue attribute using BLTH

[verma.vasu]

Hi,

 

Can anyone help in explaining how to store values in a multi-value attribute using BLTH.  I tired the  setAttributeMultiValue() , but it keeps generating error on screen. I also tried addValueToAttribute() a try but it stores the attribute values as a one string i.e. append the new value to the end to last value.

Also, how can we read values from a multi-value attribute using BLTH. Use Case is read value from one multi-value attribute(e.g.  outlets ) and store in another multi-value attribute (i.e. stores) .

Thanks,
Vasu

Hi Vasu,

 

If you are using BLTH JavaScript, then following piece of code may help:

 

var valuesVecObj = new java.util.Vector();

                valuesVecObj.add("Value1");

                valuesVecObj.add("Value2");

                blthContext.getUser().setAttributeMultiValue (valuesVecObj);

 

 

Thank you,

 

Best regards,

Sumeet

HI Sumeet,

 

We are using BLTH java code.  I have tried using  setAttributeMultiValue but it keeps generating error "Bad attribute specified " .

Hi Vasu,

 

Assuming:

Attribute Physical Name in the Directory = eTMyMultiValueAttr

Attribute Multi-Valued value in the Directory = true

Attribute Data Type in the Directory = String

Attribute eTMyMultiValueAttr, is present on the profile screen.

 

You could use the following code snippet:

 

import java.util.Vector;

.

.

try {

Vector<String> MyMultiValuedAttribute = new Vector<String>();

MyMultiValuedAttribute.add("FirstValue");

MyMultiValuedAttribute.add("SecondValue");

MyMultiValuedAttribute.add("ThirdValue");

 

blthContext.getUser().setAttributeMultiValue("eTMyMultiValueAttr", MyMultiValuedAttribute );

} catch (Exception ex)

}

Hi Arij,

 

I tired this approach , but it keeps generating error message   Bad attribute specified  . Below is the code snippet , as per the code, it should update the multi-value attribute "directReport" of user user4. 

 

User user4 = blthContext.getUserProvider().findUser("user4",null);
Vector<String> vct = new Vector<String>();
vct.add("value1");
vct.add("value2");
vct.add("value3");
user4.setAttributeMultiValue("directReport",vct);

 

Thanks,

Hi Vasu,

 

It is working fine with me without any issues.

Can you share Dir XMl extract and your profile screen?

You also need to call user4.modifyObject() to persist changes.

Ok I got where the problem lies. The attribute was set as single valued in directory.xml while in LDAP it's multi-valued. Changes it to multi-valued and is working now.
