Generates a list of values based on the CSEntry attribute values that will be used to search the metaverse.
Namespace: Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices
Assembly: Microsoft.MetadirectoryServicesEx (in microsoft.metadirectoryservicesex.dll)

Usage

Visual Basic 
Dim instance As IMASynchronization
Dim FlowRuleName As String
Dim csentry As CSEntry
Dim values As ValueCollection

instance.MapAttributesForJoin(FlowRuleName, csentry, values)

Syntax

Visual Basic 
Sub MapAttributesForJoin ( _
		FlowRuleName As String, _
		csentry As CSEntry, _
		ByRef values As ValueCollection _
)
C# 
void MapAttributesForJoin (
		string FlowRuleName,
		CSEntry csentry,
		ref ValueCollection values
)
C++ 
void MapAttributesForJoin (
		String^ FlowRuleName, 
		CSEntry^ csentry, 
		ValueCollection^% values
)
J# 
void MapAttributesForJoin (
		String FlowRuleName, 
		CSEntry csentry, 
		/** @ref */ ValueCollection values
)
JScript 










Parameters





FlowRuleName





Contains the name of the flow rule. You must use only
alphanumeric characters for the FlowRuleName parameter;
otherwise you can encounter problems in a rules extension.








Note:





Flow rules are not executed in the order shown in
Synchronization Service Manager. Forefront Identity Manager
Synchronization Service (FIM Synchronization Service) uses these
rules according to the state of the connector space object.
Configure your rules based on the state of the object rather than
the rules being called in a predetermined order.














csentry





Contains a CSEntry object
that represents the connector space entry.









values





Contains a ValueCollection
object that receives the list of attribute values that are
generated by this method to be used to search the metaverse.









Exceptions








Exception type
Condition





DeclineMappingException



The method cannot produce a mapping for the
attribute.








EntryPointNotImplementedException



The rules extension does not implement this method.







UnexpectedDataException



The method received unexpected data.










Remarks





Use this method to convert attribute values to a format
used in the metaverse. For example, the metaverse stores the full
name attribute as a single string made up of the first name and
last name, while the connected data source stores a first name and
a last name as separate attributes. You can use this method to
combine a first name and last name into a single string that can be
used to search the full name attribute in the metaverse.
