B Sample Code Snippets for Extending the Connector Schema

This appendix lists sample code snippets for extending the connector schema by adding a multivalued attribute (for example, __SECUTIRY_ATTRS__). All the code snippets listed in this appendix consider __SECURITY_ATTRS__ as the multivalued attribute being added to the connector schema.

The following is a sample code snippet for extending the connector schema to include the multivalued attribute that has been initialized by specifying the number of child attributes:

        attr := attributelist();
        attr.extend(5);
        attr (1) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_ATTR_NAME','varchar',1,1,1,1);
        attr (2) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_ATTR_VALUE','varchar',1,1,1,1);
        attr (3) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_ATTR_TYPE','varchar',1,1,1,1);
        attr (4) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_APP_ID','varchar',1,1,1,1);

        schemaout.extend;
    schemaout( 4 ) := schema_object('__SECURITY_ATTRS__',attr);

The following is a sample code snippet for extending the connector schema to include the multivalued attribute without initializing the child attributes in advance:

        attr := attributelist();
        attr.extend;
        attr (1) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_ATTR_NAME','varchar',1,1,1,1);
        attr.extend;
        attr (2) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_ATTR_VALUE','varchar',1,1,1,1);
        attr.extend;
        attr (3) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_ATTR_TYPE','varchar',1,1,1,1);
        attr.extend;
        attr (4) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_APP_ID','varchar',1,1,1,1);

        schemaout.extend;
    schemaout( 4 ) := schema_object('__SECURITY_ATTRS__',attr);

The following is a sample code snippet for extending the connector schema to include the multivalued attribute with mixed ways of initializing the child attributes:

        attr := attributelist();
        attr.extend(2);
        attr (1) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_ATTR_NAME','varchar',1,1,1,1);
        attr (2) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_ATTR_VALUE','varchar',1,1,1,1);
        attr.extend;
        attr (3) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_ATTR_TYPE','varchar',1,1,1,1);
        attr.extend;
        attr (4) := attributeinfo('SECURITY_APP_ID','varchar',1,1,1,1);

        schemaout.extend;
    schemaout( 4 ) := schema_object('__SECURITY_ATTRS__',attr);
