Update Custom Attribute in Business rules

Question

Hi all, I need to update, during business rules, a custom Attribute with the last 5 characters from an other custom Attribute. EX: employeeNumber = 0123456789 adm-CustomAttributeText13= empty

UPDATED employeeNumber = 0123456789 adm-CustomAttributeText13= 56789

I tried with adaxes powershell script but I received an error in substring function, can you help me?

Thanks in advance

Hello Simone,

Here is the script you need to use. In the script:

• $sourcePropertyName – Specifies the LDAP name of the property, whose value will be cut.
• $targetPropertyName – Specifies the LDAP name of the property to update.
• $charNumber – Specifies the number of the last characters to be taken from the property value for another one.

$sourcePropertyName = "employeeNumber" # TODO: modify me
$targetPropertyName = "adm-CustomAttributeText1" # TODO: modify me
$charNumber = 4 # TODO: modify me

# Get source property value
try
{
    $sourceValue = $Context.TargetObject.Get($sourcePropertyName)
}
catch
{
    $Context.LogMessage("Property $sourcePropertyName is empty.", "Warning")
    return
}

# Update target property
$targetValue = $sourceValue.SubString($sourceValue.Length-$charNumber)
$Context.TargetObject.Put($targetPropertyName, <#PROPERTY-VALUE#>)
$Context.TargetObject.SetInfo()
