Configuring Virtual Data Transformations

Virtual data transformations are defined on existing data views, and create a virtual data view from a physical data view. For information about how they work, see Virtual Data Transformations in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 Reference.

You can add a virtual data transformation to any type of data view: an LDAP data view, an LDIF data view, a join data view, or a JDBC data view.

To Add a Virtual Transformation

You cannot use DSCC to perform this task. Use the command line, as described in this procedure.

1. Add the transformation to a data view.

   $ dpconf add-virtual-transformation -h host -p port view-name \ transformation-model transformation-action attribute-name [parameters...]

   Note that parameters might be mandatory, depending on the transformation-model and the transformation-action. For information about transformation models, transformation actions, and transformation parameters, see Virtual Data Transformations in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 Reference.

2. (Optional) View the list of virtual transformations that are defined on a data view.

   $ dpconf list-virtual-transformations -h host -p port view-name
