Testing the Resource Object in Identity Manager

You can use the Find Resources and List Resources pages in the Identity Manager Administrative interface to test your implementation of a resource object.

Select Resource > List Resource to confirm the following performance characteristics.

Table 9–32 List Resource Performance Characteristics


Expected Behavior in Interface	If This Does Not Occur
Identity Manager includes your resource type in the drop-down list of possible new resources.	Confirm that you have added it to the `resource.adapters` attribute in the `Waveset.properties` file.
When you open the resource folder, its contents reflect all the `<ObjectType>` elements that are defined in your resource adapter’s `<ObjectTypes>` section.	Review the `<ObjectType>` elements in the adapter’s `prototypeXML`.
When you right-click on one of your resource object types, all the supported features specified in your resource adapter’s `<ObjectFeatures>` section per `<ObjectType>` is available from the menu.	Go to the Debug page and view or edit the resource in question to ensure that its list of `<ObjectFeatures>` for the `<ObjectType>` in question is correct.
You can create new resources and update existing resource objects.	Verify that your resource adapter code is in `WEB-INF/classes/com/waveset/adapter/sample`
The correct ResourceForms have been loaded for each type of operation.	Confirm that you have checked in all needed resource forms Verify that the forms are correctly referenced (including the correct case) in the section for forms in the System configuration object.

Select Resource > Find Resources to confirm the following performance characteristics.

Table 9–33 Find Resources Performance Characteristics


Expected Behavior in the Interface	If not...
You can set all attributes you expect from the Resources > Find Resources page	Check all `<ObjectType>` elements and associated `<ObjectAttribute>` elements.
A find resource request returns the appropriate resource objects	Double-check the query arguments to ensure that the appropriate set of resource objects will match that query. If it still doesn’t work, try the same query through another LDAP browser to ensure that it is not a problem with the query.
You can edit and/or delete objects returned from your find request.	Check to ensure that the `<ObjectFeatures>` section of the `<ObjectType>` in question includes the Update feature, which enables editing or the Delete feature, which enables deletion.
