Messaging Attribute Flow

In this section we'll specify Attribute Flow Rules for Messaging ConnectorView. The process here is basically the same as the one we used to configure Attribute Flow Rules for the PBX ConnectorView.

There are 9 steps in this procedure.

Step 1: Begin creating a new Attribute Flow Rule

In the "Attribute Flow Conditions" window, right-click on the Rules icon and select Add New Rule...




Step 2: Assign a name to the new rule

When the Attribute Flow Rule Editor window appears, enter the name Email to MV Attribute Flow. Select the Messaging ConnectorView from the menu of possible ConnectorViews and click Edit.




Step 3: Define the new rule

Use the Attribute menu to select mail and the Expression menu to select Present. When you click the Insert button the new rule should show up as an Available Condition.

Click OK when you're finished.




Step 4: Click on insert mappings

Verify the Selection Criteria field is set to (%mail%=@).

Click Insert Mappings...




Step 5: Map mail to mail

Select inetOrgPerson in both the Source and Destination objectclasses. Locate mail in the Source list and double-click on this entry. This shortcut should map mail to mail and insert the mapping.




Step 6: Verify the mapping

Verify the mail to mail mapping and click OK.




Step 7: Define a new Rule Set

Richt-click on the Rule Sets icon and select Add New Rule Set ...




Step 8: Insert the new Rule into the Rule Set

Assign the name Email to MV Rule Set to this new Rule Set. Select the Email to MV Attribute Flow Rule and click Insert.

Click OK. The new Rule Set should appear in the Attribute Flow Conditions window.

Click Close.




Step 9: Apply the new Rule Set

You should now be back at the Configuring ConnectorView "Messaging ConnectorView" window. Select the Email to MV Rule Set and click OK.




Summary

We've now finished configuring the Messaging ConnectorView.

At this point we've set up our 3 sample ConnectorViews. In the next section we'll actually start joining them together.
