Get all Business Rules (recursive)

Question

Hello Community,

I need, by script to get all Business Rules from a root container with recursive mode.

$ns = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace" $service = $ns.GetServiceDirectly("localhost") $businessRulesPath = $service.Backend.GetConfigurationContainerPath("BusinessRules") $businessRulesContainer = $service.OpenObject("Adaxes://xxx:1251/CN=Service,CN=CustomRootContainer,CN=Business Rules,CN=Configuration Objects,CN=Adaxes Configuration,CN=Adaxes", $null, $null, 0)

$businessRulesContainer return me all object (BU and Container) under CustomRootContainer but I really need to have all object which are in child container.

Someone could help me ? Thank

Hello,

For example, you can use the below script to generate a report. The report does not need to have a scope or parameters.

$Context.DirectorySearcher.Criteria = New-AdmCriteria "adm-BusinessRule"
$Context.DirectorySearcher.BaseObjectPath = $Context.GetWellKnownContainerPath("businessRules")
$Context.Items.Add($Context.DirectorySearcher)

If the approach does not meet your needs, please, describe the desired behavior in all the possible details with live examples.

Hello,

We need a script which liste all business rule from a root container and for each business rule we want to change some parameters

To be clear, in the script below I juste want to render dynamic the variable $containers, currently we need to edit the scipt every time we add/remove a container.

$containers = @(
    "CN=xxx1", 
    "CN=xxx2",
    "CN=xxx3",
    ) 


# Connect to the Adaxes service
$ns = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$service = $ns.GetServiceDirectly("localhost")

foreach ($container in $containers)
{
    $rules = $service.OpenObject("Adaxes://xxxxx:1251/$container,CN=Business Rules,CN=Configuration Objects,CN=Adaxes Configuration,CN=Adaxes", $null, $null, 0)

    foreach ($rule in $rules)
    {
        #$rule.Name
        if ($rule.Name.StartsWith("CN=Update - "))
        {
            $ExecutionMoment = $rule.ExecutionMoment 
            $ObjectType = $rule.ObjectType
            $OperationType = $rule.OperationType

            if ($ExecutionMoment -ine "ADM_BUSINESSRULEEXECMOMENT_AFTER")
            {
                $rule.ExecutionMoment = "ADM_BUSINESSRULEEXECMOMENT_AFTER"
            }
            if ($ObjectType -ine "user")
            {
                $rule.ObjectType = "user"
            }
            if ($OperationType -ine "set properties")
            {
                $rule.OperationType = "set properties"
            }

            $rule.SetInfo()
        }
    }
}

If you read the history, i put an image which descript the need, I just want to set a variable with "OAIVS" and get all "subtree" BusinessRule.

Let me know if need more details

Hello,

Thank you for the provided details. Please find the full script below.

# Search parameters
$rulesContainerPath = $Context.GetWellKnownContainerPath("businessRules")
$searcher = $Context.BindToObject($rulesContainerPath)
$searcher.Criteria = New-AdmCriteria "adm-BusinessRule"
$searcher.SearchScope = "ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE"
$searcher.PageSize = 500
$searcher.ReferralChasing = "ADS_CHASE_REFERRALS_NEVER"

try
{
    # Execute search
    $searchResultIterator = $searcher.ExecuteSearch()
    $searchResults = $searchResultIterator.FetchAll()

    foreach ($searchResult in $searchResults)
    {
        $rule = $Context.BindToObjectBySearchResult($searchResult)
        $ExecutionMoment = $rule.ExecutionMoment 
        $ObjectType = $rule.ObjectType
        $OperationType = $rule.OperationType

        if ($ExecutionMoment -ine "ADM_BUSINESSRULEEXECMOMENT_AFTER")
        {
            $rule.ExecutionMoment = "ADM_BUSINESSRULEEXECMOMENT_AFTER"
        }
        if ($ObjectType -ine "user")
        {
            $rule.ObjectType = "user"
        }
        if ($OperationType -ine "set properties")
        {
            $rule.OperationType = "set properties"
        }

        $rule.SetInfo()
    }
}
finally
{
    # Release resources
    if ($searchResultIterator){ $searchResultIterator.Dispose() }
}

Hello,

Thank you for you script it's work ! I profite to ask you if we can copy an existing rule (with all condition and action) to a new one ?

I saw this article but, https://www.adaxes.com/sdk/SampleScripts.CreatingBusinessRuleContainers/ I don't know if we can copy - past an exisitng rule.

Thank you for you response.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do that. You will need to copy not only the rule itself, but also all the actions and conditions in the script. We recommend you to just use the Administration console to copy existing business rules.
