Directory 6 Proxy and Virtual Data view transformations
Hello,
Could anyone guide me (or have an example) on how to correctly construct macro (substring(), split()) in view transformations:
dpconf add-virtual-transformation MYVIEW mapping attr-value-mapping dn internal-value:uid=\${uid} view-value:uid=\${uid},ou=.......
for example - I'd like to set (transform dn) a view value dn as uid=(uid from internal value), but ou=(as a substring of ou from internal value) ?
Any example would be helpful.
Thanks,
/Mareks

The Reference manual has a couple of examples using the macros. <http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0997/6n3cs0bvg?a=view>
Split macro has a bug and does not work as expected with DPS 6 (bug 6495395).
Something like view-value:uid=\${uid},ou=substring(\${ou}, 0, 6),dc=example,dc=com would include the first 6 characters of the original OU in the DN's ou.

Hello again,
I'm still struggling with this - if I use this syntax:
view-value:uid=\${uid},ou=substring(\${ou}, 0, 6),dc=example,dc=com
first - I get "syntax error near unexpected token `('" which says that I need to escape ();
If I use then:
view-value:uid=\${uid},ou=substring\(\${ou}, 0, 6\),dc=example,dc=com
no transformation is done (simple ldapsearch) and if I use:
view-value:uid=\${uid},ou=substring\(\${ou}, 0, 6\)
ldapsearch returns uid=..., ou=substring(....... - so no macro processing.
What then would be correct way to escape macro command itself ?
Thanks,
Mareks

The value as stored in the Directory Proxy configuration file does not need any escaping.
The escaping (for the $ sign and parentheses) comes from the shell itself.
I don't think that the macro itself need escaping. But I will get confirmation by the responsible development engineer later this week.
