Adding Classes of Objects to the Create Object Task

The eDirectory Administration role contains a task called Create Object. This task enables you to create an object of any class in the schema that uses one of the standard eDirectory syntaxes. When you select the Create Object task, it presents a list of available object classes. By default, the Create Object task lists only the most commonly-used object classes in the list. You can add additional object classes to the list, enabling users to create corresponding objects.

IMPORTANT:  Role-based Services must be configured before you can use the iManager Development role.

To add additional items to the Available object classes list:

1. Click the Developer button .

2. Click iManager Development > Add Object Class To Creation List.

3. Select an object class from the list of available object classes, then click Next.

4. At the summary page, verify that the value of the <class-name> entry is com.novell.emframe.fw.GenericCreator, then click Finish.

5. To add another object class, click Repeat Task; otherwise, click OK.

6. Return to the Create Object task by clicking the Roles and Tasks button , then clicking eDirectory Administration > Create Object.

7. Verify that the object classes you added are in the list of available object classes.

HINT:  If you want to have a separate task to create an object instead of using the Create Object task, use the Plug-In Studio to create a task for that class.
